So much Pokemon indeed! This is where I entered the franchise, with Ruby. Happy to say I finished it but while I like collecting Pokemon, it's not for that purpose that I like the series. There is a great RPG hidden in most of these Pokemon games. I never realized it until I finally gave it a chance. After taking the dive and playing Ruby, I was a Pokemon fan. And here we are again, today another set of Pokemon games come out with HeartGold/SoulSilver. I will be picking HeartGold up thanks to Ruby welcoming me into this wonderful world.
The E-Reader cards for this were ok, but they went further and released a board game by the same name, that used a different set of E-Reader cards. I wish they would of done this more often. Only this and Mario Party got the board game/E-Reader treatment.
