Along the way, you gain allies who will help you on your quest while completing mini-games, tasks and battling other Pokémon and enemies. It is up to you and your friends to investigate the missing Pokémon and find Piplup who is trapped in Wish Park. On the surface this park is a pleasurable area where you can eat all the cake you want but this park is responsible for confining the Pokémon who visit there. All is fine until you pay a visit to “Wish Park”. Pikachu is hanging around with his friend Piplup in PokePark. In PP2WB, you start off by playing as Pikachu who as you all know is the most recognizable Pokémon. PP2WB may look, sound and feel like a Pokémon game, it is not a stellar Pokémon game by any stretch. When I say the “other” games, I mean the turn-based ones for the handheld systems. PP2WB is essentially the opposite of what made the other games so good. Take for example the newest Pokémon game, PokePark 2: Wonders Beyond (here on in known as PP2WB) for the Wii.

Thus the franchise seems to be alienating some of their more mature fans.

Yes, I am a bit down on Pikachu and company but the franchise seems to be geared more towards younger and younger kids. There is just no depth to them and I just do not find them all that enjoyable. It is not because the newest games do not require a lot of strategy or the fact that they are too easy. It seems lately that the more Pokémon games I play, the more I do not like them.
