5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun!, October 27, 2000

This game has gotten lots of play time in my house. It's more fun than the regular "Sorry" game, at least for Pokemon fans.

Each player chooses which "gym" will be his or her home - for instance, Blaine's gym, or Misty's gym. Then the pieces all belong to one type - Misty's pieces, for instance, are all Water Pokemon.

The safe spaces are Pokeballs, and the cards have special moves for the different colors of pieces.

It's a lot of fun for all our kids ages 4 and up, and even I like to play this one with the kids.

The educational value is that they read the cards, and lots of counting is needed to play the game. Plus, there is some strategy involved.

This game is sold at a good price for the amount of fun involved. I recommend this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars New Twist On An Old Classic, December 9, 2000

If you like the orginal Sorry!, you'll love the Pokemon version. The Pokemon format allows for the introduction of more variety on the moves. In addition to the standard numbered moves, Pokemon Group specific moves are now also included. (If you are the Water Group, then move 'X' number of times, then draw again. Or if you are of the Fire Group, then move double the number of times specified by the card.) This adds more unexpected twists to the outcome of the game. The educational value of the game comes from learning to get along and developing people skills. Any Sorry! fan can tell you that sometimes the game gets competative & intense. With either version, players learn to keep the game in perspective, ("remember it is just a game,") and that winning isn't as important as having fun. Disappointment: The player markers in the Pokemon version are cardboard on plastic stands. While the cardboard is high grade, heavy stock, it will never be as durable as the plain plastic markers of the original version. With as much use as I foresee this game getting, I don't expect the markers to last the life of the game. I believe the manufacturer should have made the markers as nice as the rest of the game. They are cheap, and especially when compared to the high quality of the rest of the game. I also did not like the quad-fold board.

The playing pieces should be plastic like the actual game sorry Maby the can be shaped like pokemon figures too This game already costs more than the original so it should be as durable as the original Made to last instead of made to fall apart after a few plays.
