My Take on the Game
This was the first Pokemon 3DS game that I have ever played so cannot really talk about the series of games that I know are out there only this one. I have to say that for me the scheme was definitely fun and engaging and had some great graphics for the 3DS. I liked the idea that the human is transported to a world where knowing you exist and has to survive there. The graphics in this game are strong, especially for a handheld system, and in using the 3D effects you really gain some great depth within the game itself and get drawn in even further.  One of the things though that was a bit annoying at times was the speed in which the text that were shared in the game was presented. The text came across a very slow and there is no way that I can tell that you can skip the text itself, you simply have to wait until the text clears to be able to move on and sometimes this became a bit frustrating. Overall, I was impressed and it makes me interested to see what some of the other games in the series are like so I can contrast the experiences.

What My Kids Thought
My eldest also tried out the game and in asking her her thoughts she said that the game was "cool" and that she liked all of the Pokemon creatures that were in the game. She also mentioned that she loved the different levels and how you really got to engage with the different Pokemon characters. She finally mentioned that she really liked the music. I had not thought of that, but she said that the music made the game fun to play!
