News Pokémon Rumble World is One of the Top 10 'Trending' Games on YouTube
Free-to-view

Nevertheless, there's a surprise entry in a list of 'trending' games on the video service for April. The definition of 'trending' is games "that saw...

I deleted this some time ago and with the recent Pokemon anniversary attention I decided to re-download. However, the game does not offer save data back-up, yet upon loading the game all of my progress from prior was present and correct... How is this?
@Harmunt It's linked with your NNID?
thank nintendo for this game but can you make anther pokemon free game pleas
Not gonna lie, what sold me on getting this game was the inclusion of Miis in it.
Now unfortunately it still has the same trope of going through linear levels and beating up Pokemon and potentially catching them if you get lucky. Some features cost the use of PokeDiamonds which can be a pain if it is not the retail version, Hot-Air Balloons having a cooldown timer in which limits to how much time you can play the game, Not sure how good the story is but it is definitely meant to be appealing for the children (Which I'd say is doing pretty ok with), Some of the challenges are bit too tough if you don't have the right Combat Power or Pokemon, There's no way to increase a Pokemon's CP so you're still ditching your old ones for stronger ones, etc.
And to be perfectly honest? It sadly gets old after a while.
However, if you enjoyed the previous Pokemon Rumble Games, or just looking for a relaxing game to do on the side, you will find fun and enjoyment through the amount of Pokemon to collect, the Customization for your Miis, The friends you can meet and can visit you, and ESPECIALLY the addition to Mega Evolution.
