Though, this title offers players the freedom to tackle gyms in any order they choose and allows players to bypass HM barricades through simply removing them. This game series has always had a straightforward goal of funnelling the player towards the end goal of the Pokemon league in a very neat and well-structured order. Though Shockslayer, the developer of this from, does so with ablomb through not rocking the boat but instead gently nudging it into a better position with slight changes to an already adored formula. So many would think to improve on this title to be a tad unrealistic.
For many, the second generation of Pokemon still holds up as the best the series has had to offer over it’s long reign at the top of gaming’s elite.
