Seriously, i am really annoyed with the thing you have to discuss with your kids. i mean who cares "Which pokemon remind you of real life animals"? C'mon, its a childrens videogame for gods sake! Its not some kind of school learning thing!!!!! LET THE KIDS HAVE FUN!!!!!!

I don't think this is a good game little kids, but it's great play if you don't get scared easily, love good plots, and are a decent gamer. That being said, this story is complex and more violent then GameFreak(or nintendo) has done to Pokemon before, I don't understand, why the game ranking people gave Pokemon Rumble E10 but this (and the older mystery dungeon games and also ones yet come, most likely) snuck though with an E, you have to save a kidnapped baby, here some of the enemies want to kill you and your partner, there's an insane god, and you fade into nothingness as the partner watches. But the partner, the hero, Wigglytuff, and the rest of guild are all great role models, the partner is so kind and sweet that it's plot point, even more so than red, blue, time, and darkness, forgiveness is important and often. But this is still really scary at times. You might want to read a summary of the plot first tough

Paitence is a virtue
Love it, but some areas are just plain hard, that dosen't take away for lifetime fans, but newcomers might have a few problems.

Adult Reviewer TheFancyPants' Review of This Game is Ridiculous in My Opinion
Pokemon is a great series because it teaches all about teamwork and friendship. This game is different from most others because you actually play as a pokemon instead of as a pokemon trainer. Even though Pokemon is kind of a little kid thing, I still liked this game.

awsome game
the game is full of positive messages about friendship and teamwork but some scenes are too violent for younger children. as an example, in one side quest, a character tries to steal another character's soul, possess the body, and then kill the main characters. despite this the game does have many more child-friendly scenes than violent ones. the game has simple, easy-to-master controls, but can be difficult enough to entertain older players. over all this is one of my favorite games.

Mystery Dungeon Player Forever
I absolutely love all the PMD games. They can be confusing for most people, though. You have to constantly stay on your toes. The point of the game is to complete dungeons by findin the stairs that lead to the next floor. Explorers of Sky has the same story as Time/Darkness, but it has a few added features, including side adventures that you can play instead of the main story. This game is great, I recommend it for most pokemon fans.
