With Pokemon increasingly niche, it surprises me that there’s enough room for a clone on the DS system, but having spent the last couple of weeks reviewing Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker, I think I’m closer to understanding what the fuss is about. The Pokemon series (with the exception of Snap - a favourite of my girlfriend) has always left me cold, but this “I can’t believe it’s not Pokemon” title is charming, graphically rich and compelling.
Bravo Square Enix!
