I’ll be totally upfront about this right from the start — I have no idea what Pokémon is all about. I’ve heard the name and know it’s from Japan, but that’s about it. Seriously. For whatever reason, Pokémon as a cultural phenomenon has totally passed me by. So when the time came to review this game I wasn’t sure if my lack of knowledge would be a help or a hindrance. Would it make me unbiased and objective, or just ignorant? Either way, I felt I was approaching the game with an open mind when I fired it up for the first time.
