E3 2010: Pokemon PokePark Preview

To those who don’t know me, I love Pokémon. It’s been a part of my childhood and many others who were hit by the phenomenon when it started in 1998. To this day, I cannot resist playing and awaiting new games involving these little critters. I can now say I have witnessed something that could be the start to revolutionizing the way Pokémon fans have battled, making it as close to realistic as it does to the Anime.
 

 

Poke Park for the Wii is a step in the right direction. They're talking, moving, flying, running and even doing their attacks just like they do in the show. Even when you talk to one, it’s given a cute little animation, giving it a wonderful charm to the game. The graphics and models for the Pokémon are great. We're given beautiful, detailed Pokémon way better than even the last Colosseum game. It's not known if every single Pokémon will be in this game, but so far it contains a plethora of them from various generations. 193 of the little critters are confirmed to make an appearance in the game. 

Here, you start out as Pikachu; wandering the various forests, beaches and so on, having recreational fun with other Pokemon. You must complete different challenges and quests in order to collect these special Poke crystals in which you can use to help your cause. Later in the game, you can befriend other Pokémon to help complete quests that Pikachu may not be able to handle, such as a swimming competition where you need to befriend a fast swimming Pokémon to help you. You will also be able to play as that Pokémon during those challenges, giving you the chance to be anything you want. The controls are smooth and are really simple to use as you explore all these places and play various games with the Pokémon living in these locations.

 The game is said to release this holiday season. This is a definite buy for any Pokémon fan and here's hoping that the good reception on this game can help develop an even greater one in the future.
