    Controls are fluid and gameplay can be fun, but quickly gets repetitive. It's the same thing over and over- hardly worth your time unless you see it cheap.

    Pretty bad spin-off overall. It gets repetitive extremely quickly, has not a lot of depth and the story is forgettable as much as it gets. Not worth your time if you aren't a fan of the Rumble-series and Pokemon.

    You can't really say that this is a true Pokemon game, and a decent game for that matter. Just wait for the true 3DS Pokemon that is under development.

    Since assembling a team is more luck than judgment, Rumble couldn't be further away from the core values of the traditional Pokemon games. [Issue#118, p.110]

    Unless you're the kind of fan who already owns every Pokémon game and knows everything about the creatures and characters, you're bound to lose interest quickly due to the extreme simplicity and lack of depth, and return to the more ambitious chapters of the series.
