Product Description

Editorial Review

This storytelling game is an ideal guide to the fun and fantastic world of Pokémon. Each of the game's exciting episodes provides an opportunity for parents to read to their children, with all the mutual benefits that confers. But this is not just a passive listening experience--along the way, kids exercise their reading and math skills and flex their imaginations as they help determine each episode's plot and outcome. The 60-page instruction booklet includes a guide for parents, complete playing instructions, and 16 fun episodes such as Spearow Trouble, Pokémon Emergency, and Samurai's Challenge. Everything needed to play is included in the 6-by-4-by-1.75-inch box. --Ava Natov

This is my five year old daughter's favorite toy! Our whole family played the adventure through together: each player pretends to be a Pokemon trainer traveling to Pewter city, collecting Pokemon along the way. It loosely follows the story-line of the first few cartoon episodes. Children can role-play and add details to the story as they like. They can follow the story, or they can use the cards to make up their own Pokemon battles. I was surprised at how fast my daughter picked up on hit points and attack rolls! I hope that Hasbro will come out with another adventure soon.

This is a fine way to enjoy playing with the Pokemon characters with small children (even my 4 year old), without the complicated trading card rules. The game takes you through a 2-3 hour scripted adventure story with lots of Pokemon battles (sort of a friendlier Dungeons and Dragons for preschoolers) using simplified big print Pokemon character cards. However, keep in mind that small kids like to hear the same story over and over -- which is important because there is only one story in the box and they will expect you to play it again. And again. Hence the durability rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great game bites the dust., January 5, 2001

This review is from: POKEMON JR ADVENTURE GAME (Board Game)

My six year old son and I very much enjoy the 1st episode of the Pokemon Jr. Adventures, Pokemon Emergency. We play this game over and over, and have recently paired it with the electronic Pokedex.

Unfortunately, after correspondence with Wizards of the Coast, the creators of Pokemon, we were informed that due to licensing problems there would be no additional episodes released for Pokemon Jr. Adventures. Therefore, while we have no trouble making up our own stories, it is impossible to acquire the full set of Pokemon Jr. Cards.

All in all this is a wonderful game and for the price is very well worth it, just don't look for episode 2, it's not going to happen.
