I purchased one of these and one of the comparable pokemon virtual trainer packs for my kids (5&7) for christmas. I thought the comments from manufacturer about how children can enjoy dueling each other or playing by themselves sounded great, and both my little guys love pokemon.

I admit it...I'm NOT a pokemon master, so when the toys arrived I simply wrapped them and put them under the tree...didn't notice anything wrong and they actually looked pretty cute.

Christmas morning comes, kids open their gifts, love the pokemon sets, open the rest of their presents, then say " we don't have a battle arena to play with our pokemon trainers!". They were so sweet about it, but I could tell they were quite dissapointed.

Turns out theres a whole game system called a V-Trainer 2.0 Electronic Battle Arena that is necessary to play with these trainers!!!!! Yes, that red game system shown in EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE of the photos of these pokemon toys does not come with these, and is absolutely essential to play with this toy.

I've spent over a week desperately searching for every variation of v trainer 2.0 electronic battle arena, but still have not been able to find this product. If I actually do find it, whoohoo...my kids finally get to stop being dissapointed and get to play with the toy, but now I have to spend what?>>>> $ another $50 or $60 getting them each a battle arena?

The worst option is that I'm never able to find these battle arenas, and in that case these toys are as good as trash.

IN MY OPINION, THE AD FOR THIS TOY IS MISLEADING AT BEST.....I FINALLY LOCATED THE TEENSY TINY SMALL PRINT SAYING THE BATTLE ARENA ISN'T INCLUDED, BUT IT CERTAINLY ISN'T SOMETHING THAT THE AVERAGE PARENT WOULD KNOW....VERGES ON FALSE ADVERTISING, IN MY OPINION.

To make matters worse....I've called 2 of our local toysrus stores....they've never heard of the necessary battle dome. Search engine here doesn't seem to locate it.

If anyone has been able to locate this elusive battle dome, 2.0, please post it so I can finally give my kids the toy I thought I was giving them on Christmas morning.

Terrible terrible ad....read carefully, and if you don't have v trainer 2.0 electronic battle arena, don't bother. Might as well throw the toy in the garbage, which is probably what we'll end up having to do. Big big dissapointment for my kids.

My son has a vast collection of pokemon cards and figurines. He loves his collection and this item was an added addition to his collection. He loves this item!

kids of all ages will really enjoy this game.

So glad I could find this on Amazon.....My grandson and I couldn't find it in any of the stores around by us and he was so excited to see it here. You made his day. Thank you
