Pokemon Rumble Blast is an excellent game. You don't even need to be a fan of pokemon to like this game because I honstely don't like pokemon ,but I tried this game out and I all out loved it. The 3D graphics were amazing. I think this game is worth a 9 because there a few tweaks such as snivy appears to be a lime green almost when he's supposed to be a leaf green and just small things like that ,but really they aren't noticeable. I would recommend this to one hundred percent of my freinds.

This is my first review so im not really here to tell you about the game,just look at my rating for my opinion lol. This is just for those who leave bad reviews for this game based on the fact that you can't restart, as a matter of fact you can just follow these steps:
1)Choose to start playing Pokemone Rumble Blast
2)Hold down A+B+X+Y
3)You will the title screen and then you can let go
4)The option will come up to start a new game
And there you have it....enjoy the game

Great news! This game is not only awesome, but you can RESET it thereby erasing the former renter's data. To do so simply hold AYBX when starting the game , when the title is displayed release the buttons and you will get a message asking if you want to delete your data. Now you are ready to begin your own adventure!

if u like pokemon mystery dungeon u will like these game. if u dont really like the regular style pokemon games u will like these game. for pokemon mystery dungeon lovers:(good) it is easyer to befriend pokemon u can befriend more pokemon and u dont have to go somewhere else to change pokemon. there is more then just dungeons to explore(like lacks,canyons, caves and allot more in including battle royalls) bad:pokemon can only know 2 moves, they dont level up, they dont evolve. and u have to go to a gumball type thing and buy random moves.
regular pokemon style players: you dont have to level up for gyms u just have to get better pokemon. u dont get fossils they are all ready pokemon.

Weak Spin Off of a Great Series

The spin offs of Pokemon are always hit or miss. This one's a huge miss. There is no way to erase a saved game and start over so don't even bother renting it. The copy I got had a complete story with most of the pokemon captured. It completely destroys any replayability the game may have had by making replaying it impossible.

Not that I think many people would want to replay this. The gameplay is so basic and repetitive. To a ridiculous extent. Its cool that you can get almost all of the 600 pokemon, but they all control the same and the gameplay is just to boring to bother testing out all of your favorites. Speaking of the pokemon, that brings me to another problem I have with this game. They're not actually pokemon, but toy pokemon. The sprites for the pokemon range from mediocre to awful looking and the whole idea of toy pokemon is just stupid to be honest.

If you want a good pokemon game in 2012 wait for Black and White 2. If you can't wait to see pokemon in 3D just download the free Pokedex to hold you over until the 6th generation is released. This game is not worth your time or money

I got this game, played it for 20 minutes, and returned it. I was expecting something close to pokemon mystery dungeon, which was a great game, but was immediately let down. Worth a try, but definitely not worth buying.

Order it, received it quickly. Unfortunately, I couldn't play it because the game does not allow you to create a new file or reset. Tried numerous times. It does not allow you to have multiple files and this is critical for a game that is shared!

This game is something you should get if you are about to take a long road trip somewhere and you have nothing to do. The game is a very simple, spin-off title that uses the pokemon franchise in an even more childish way than its more popular predecessor Pokemon Black and White.

this game isnt like other pokemon games where you run into some invisible thing and hope and pray not to die. they actualy have you fight VISIBLE pokemon. and by "fight", I mean ACTUALLY fight. the graphics were totally BOSS for a pokemon game. so was the sound and all the other juciy stuff a game has to offer! overall, 10/10 for this game!

A Decent Pokemon Spin-Off

posted by Ninjanomyx (BRIDGEPORT, CT) Jun 5, 2012

Member since Jun 2012

This game is like a Saturday Night Live sketch. Some Pokemon Spin-offs are awful, some are decent, and there are very few AMAZING ones. We are still yet to have an amazing spin-off. Pokemon Rumble Blast is fun yet a bit tedious. Like past games, you go in to different type related areas and recruit defeated toy Pokemon. This mechanic is very fun, don't get me wrong, but it can get overdone very quickly. You can indeed find all 649 Pokemon, but many of them feel the same. That's this game's problem; there's no depth anywhere here. Many things are so shallow. It's worth renting, but not worth the $30.00 fund to keep it.
Ninjanomyx

P.S.
You actually can delete the past renter's file. Just open up the game from the 3DS home menu holding ABYX. Hold it until the actual title screen pops up with a message asking you to delete data. Have fun.

Should have been an earlier generation game

I thought this was a very amusing game, I can't say I loved it for a few reasons. First off great idea but I think it should have came out like 3rd Generation of Pokemon for like the Gamecube or the GBA, because the idea was great but...late. Second I loved the fact that you can play for hours upon end but....thats just it I just kept playing and I was constantly switching out toys because everytime I progressed it seemed a little tideous to me and I didn't want to sepnd 6 hours in one area trying to befriend one freaking toy! Anywho though great game I recommend to all Pokemon fans and children.

I rented this from gamelfy, thinking it was like the wii version (Pretty cruddy storyline, only like two pokemon) But oh was I wrong. This game gives you an all new story line, a couple different modes of gameplay, and almost every pokemon. If your thinking about buying one of the two rumble games, buy the latter (Rumble Blast)

IGN has it all wrong

posted by Cole22 (HENRICO, VA) Dec 28, 2011

Pokemon Rumble was a very good title in my opinion if you just wanted a fun battle game. If you liked it, Rumble Blast will not disappoint you. Everyone has an opinion, but most of them are just plain wrong and untrue. IGN plays so many murder games, that Rumble Blast seems to not be good to them just because there are no guns. Who cares if some person on a video game critic network or whatever thinks this game is mediocre or bad? It's what you think that makes the game good, for crying out loud.

The presentation was very inviting. You start out as a mii, correct me if i'm wrong, and you get a pokemon toy with a wind-up key. Just one toy can befriend all the pokemon from every region. Kanto, Hoenn, Johto, Sinnoh, and Unova. You have a special attack for every type of poke'mon,and you fight huge boss battles. The battle royale is very fun,too.

The graphics were great for pokemon toys. IGN thinks these graphics weren't very appealing. These are toys,OK? The origin of this game from wii ware, Pokemon Rumble, had graphics like this because it wasn't really meant to be a huge game. I guess nintendo and game freak must've decided to fit the graphics in a little more, and the rates went up. I'll admit, the mii's graphics weren't the best, but it works.

The gameplay was good, but a little repetitive. Running around and using an attack doesn't sound too fun, but what IGN said about it just isn't that right. The reason you go around and get new pokemon is not only to befriend them and become a strong alliance, but to experience what they're capable of. Yes indeed, it is quite tiring at the most part, but if you want to see and catch em' all, get to work.

Overall, this will be a nice edition to your 3ds game library. And don't just take my word for it, you might think it's better than what I thought. While the gameplay and mii graphics aren't at its best, the rest of the stuff is very appealing. Rent, buy, I don't care, as long as you have a blast. A Rumble Blast!
