This game is honestly not as bad as the reviews say.
The negative reviews are mainly people angry that this is solely a remake with little added content. If you have never played the originals then this is a great way to enjoy the Sinnoh story if you don't have access to emulators or a DS
The reason it's a 3 star rating however is because the game is appears to be made for babies. With no way to turn off the shard exp, you run into the problem with being way too overleveled and that leads to a boring time when you constantly OHKO the opponent. For the 8th gym I was about 10 levels higher than his pokemon so another thing to note is that this game is not nearly as challenging as the original games.
ANTOHER THING
WHYDOES TEAM GALACTIC USE LEVEL 30+ WURMPLE ???
