This game is like Pokemon after it's first semester at a liberal arts college: it's smarter and more interesting than before, but now it has some strange thoughts on philosophy that it keeps bringing into conversation.

Seriously, an improvement on the Pokemon formula on many fronts.
- A story and characters that we can actually care about.
- Combat that demands more than the one brain cell normally required to remember type advantages.
- You could continue playing the game indefinitely (it seems like it at this stage, though probably not recommended)

If you have ever enjoyed Pokemon, just buy this and you won't regret it.
