Perhaps one of the funnest adventures I've ever run (and played in). The constant references to Pokemon, especially the final battle, made this a great time for everyone involved. I loved the unique battle mechanics for the monster fights, and the stat cards made it almost feel like a completely different game.

This was so much fun - I ran it for a table of 15!!!! IT was the biggest game of D&D I ever ran and everyone had a total blast. I basically broke them up into two competing teams and it was epic! If you are a fan of pokemon and D&D this is the adventure for you!.

Ran this for my AL group which consists of adults and their children, age range from 12 to 50's. Everyone had a blast, lots of catchphrase shouting and laughs.... well executed!

Who hasn't wanted to play pokemon in D&D? How about getting all that and it being AL legal too! Seriously, this is a great way to break away from the standard AL format and have a good time with friends.

You could also take this idea/format and incorporate it easily into your own homebrew campaign!

A lovely parody piece but it works to break up the mundane rollings of usual dnd. The monster combat leads to unique roleplays and some funny stories. I have a stock of pocket monster figures to really engage the theme of the module.

I ran this specifically for players who were new to Dungeons and Dragons but also played Pokemon Go. I felt the concept went over well because of that familiarity and the players had the most fun when we changed up the format of the tournament a bit to add some fun flavour. This is a fun concept for something a little different but would not play well with all players, if you know your audience it can go over great!

A nice fun quick adventure. Your players winning the creature battle is random based on the ones they capture.

Great module if the players likes to do something new maybe some players would dislike it but if the party is okay with some shenanigans do it!

A concept can only take you so far, but to be fair, this one is a really terrific concept; an express Pokémon parody within D&D. And to what extent this module succeeds, it's all because of the attention to detail within the concept.

All the monsters are divided into 'types' with each type being strong to another type and weak to a third? Check! Pokéballs? You know it! A finale involving a clear parody of Team Rocket? Of course! A story award called 'Caught 'em all!' and another called 'The Very Best'? Almost! (Seriously, the name of that second story award really is a missed opportunity.) A reference to the trading card game? You'd better believe it!

The laughs come well in this module, and that's the best thing about it. Anyone who has played or watched Pokémon as a kid is going to at least smile out of recognition at a lot of these tropes and honestly, that ain't nothing. This module leaves an impact, and that's something that many can't say.

But, unfortunately, it can't quite turn it into an engaging experience.

For starters, many players are simply going to be flummoxed by the capture experience. Even after cajoling, hinting and trying anything I could to teach my players that they could literally use any technique to capture monsters, players either fell into using the same trick every time, or just fighting when they couldn't think of a trick. And while I know the module offers some tricks for running Pokemon battles simultaneously, it forces the players to choose between something that feels like Pokemon but fails to be fun, or something that doesn't but still isn't that much better. It's not a surprise that the game mostly comes alive in its traditional battle sequences vs. the Wayseekers and Team Shade.

It's not a terrible module, and one out of the two times I ran it it went great. But this is a module for a very specific group of people. I love it, but I do not blame people for whom it falls flat.

This adventure looks like a great one to run with kids of any age who are a big fan of a popular nintendo series where you catch "pocket monsters"

Can't wait to run this one for my family. Interesting encounter mechanics too.
