The cartoony graphics fit very nicely with the overall theme of the game. I’m definitely excited for this given that it’s under the Gamefreak studio name. Hope it won’t be too expensive!
It’s cool, at least the premise is very interesting. I’m always up for good side scrollers and the art style is very appealing as well.
Not sure if this is awesome or just ridiculous… I think I’m leaning towards awsome. It reminds me of SNES Donkey Kong when you’re riding the rhino. I’m also liking the cartoony, cutesy style.
Haha! This is definitely an awesome idea! I’m excited that Game Freak is working on it.
The cartoonish designs fits very well and I think it’s gonna be a very popular title once it becomes available for users.
Totally awesome game. Some of the best action I’ve seen in gaming in a long time. This is definitely something I might want to have on my Tablet for hours of non-stop fun. I predict that this game if properly promoted will become a ‘very big’ hit.
