This really needs to see a full western release. I don't know anything about how well it plays, but if it has half as much care put into it as it looks, then I think we're in for a treat. The Pokemon franchise somehow still manages to power on as some kind of unstoppable video game juggernaut despite not innovating much of anything in almost 20 years. I'm a huge Pokemon fan, so I would hate to see them fade into obscurity, and genre-busting crossovers like this are exactly the kind of thing I think they should be doing to keep the dream alive. Now if we could just get more classic-style Pokemon games with a different main plot than "be 10, get mon, win badges, stop evil team, defeat Elite Four."
