One of my least favorite Pokemon games

What a bizarre game. I like the concept and "capture" mechanism but the game, in general, was too weird. An odd episode on the Pokemon franchise. Not a complete failure gameplay-wise but it did not feel like Pokemon to me, maybe that's why it never became a big spin-off from the main series. enter image description here
