Pokemon Shuffle is so weird and annoying, it has the most grueling, hand-holding tutorial of all time, I think it's like the 3rd or 4th battle before you're allowed to make a single move on your own, the rest of the time you're just tapping where that damn Amelia tells you to tap.
Also the game is completely and unceremoniously 2-D, and there seems to be no settings or options menu of any kind so unless I'm completely daft there is no way to adjust this.
The F2P stuff seems bizarre too, there's hearts, there's jewels, there's a countdown timer, there are items to buy, I'm not even sure how it all works and if it's fair or not, it's too confusing to know if it's worth real world money or a total scam.
But it certainly is cute and colorful and charming, and the gameplay seems fun when Amelia rarely stops yapping and lets you play. Ugh! I can't tell if I love it or hate it.
EDIT: so apparently after level 12 Amelia finally leaves you alone, thank goodness!!!!
EDIT 2: One of the options in the store is to buy 75 jewels for a whopping
$47.99, wow, just wow, if you played this game a lot you could easily burn through that many jewels. Nintendo's gone whale hunting.
(well they are Japanese after all, ouch!)
