This game actually gets a 2.5 rating but it dosn't show. I will try to make this review reasonble.(Sorry for the spelling mistake if it is a mistake. And please forget me for any spelling mistakes that pop up.) I have previouly done kirby reviews but they were very basic and not very helpful,so I'm trying my best now. The review begins here now.

The story is... there is no story. You're just racing against other pokemon to be the 1st place champion and that's just it. And having a small to no story is not always bad...it's just that this game needs a story that's a little stronger like the old red and blue pokemon games. The introduction screen is not much but has the best garafics you will see in the game. The in game races have playstation 1 garafics and some of the things in the game look choppy. Nintendo could of put a little more effort in the garafics like in metroid prime hunters or final fantasy 3 DS. The game has three dificulty levels, five cups, and five courses in each cup. In novince mode, the opponet pokemon are very slow so you can easly beat them. In hard mode, It's just hard. And in expert mode, you have diffrent rules and the diffuculty is a nightmare. Like the title says you can only play as pikachu and only as it. Some of you who might be getting this game might think that I just making this up and/or haven't played the game, but I'm not making these things and I've finished the game. You can't play as other pokemon at all. The other stuff you can do is pretty useless. In this game you use the stylus to move pikachu forward to the next check point and the way you move you're pokemon can seriouly damage the touch screen. Yes, you have to get to all check points before the others do in order to win. The races are on foot and there are diffrent types of terain such as stone,sand,and grass.There are items that allow you to move across a cretain terain faster and sometimes nulifies a certain effect. And the amunt of ballons you pop will depand what kind of terain you're landing on. If you fall into a pit, touch the lava twice, Drown in deep water, or fall in trees you will lose time and be throwen back in the air or back on the closest land. The AI can be cheep like the ones in mario kart super cuircit. In expert mode, you have to come up with you're own effective routes to win the races. The music is pretty average or decent though I love red cup and ending credits music. When you finish the game, there's not much to do left and replay vaule is very low. I believe the impact this game made on the DS is little to none. This game may be eventually forgotten. If you want a racing game, buy mario kart DS instead. If you want to try this game, then I suggest renting it first.

fun pokemon game

This game is so fun and you easily become attached to the game. I got it and I can't stop playing it ever since. I would reccomend it to any pokemon or racing lover. The graphics are pretty good for a pokemon racing game and its a totally different plot for a pokemon game!

...I DON'T choose you, Pikachu!

Okay, I am a huge pokemon fan, but this is NOT a good game to get. For one thing, it scratches up your DS touch screen VERY badly to play it, because you have to move the stylus in a repetitive back-and-forth way...And those of you who wanted a cute little game similar to the other pokemon games? It's just a racing game. Go for Mario Kart DS, not this...

ok

This game isn't the best game that pokemon has made and i am a big fan of pokemon. Though this game is fun and will keep you entertained. If you like pokemon i do suggest it.

I'm 8 years old and been playing pokemon games for about a year now. If you've played a lot of other pokemon games, you'll like this game.

I just started this game, but the best part of this it is when you go up in the hot air ballon. You simply move by touching the pokemon with your stylus repeatedly.

AWESOME!!! ^__^

I just don't get why this game is getting such a low rating. It's challenging and fun- but only if you unlock Hard and Extreme modes. Also, speicial is really cool. Just put in a Pokemon RPG game pak (lets say Ruby) and your party pokemon are uploaded and you can race on them. The POKEMON. Whoo!

They even have an in-depth training mode for beginning players. Like me, beacause this is my first game for the DS. I absolutely love it. Keep em' comin' Nintendo!

This is so fun!

This game looks so fun and I am writing this because I have reseached it so much and have seen every aspect of it and it does not deserve such low reviews. I am going to buy this game because it looks like fun to drag pikachu around. I also think that you people who said: It is not like the other pokemon titles or it was not as good as I thought it would be to grow up and actually try to research the product!!!

an extremely original racing game

I first played this game not expecting much, from a weird little pokemon racing game that looks like you're running across old-school RPG world maps. But I was pleasantly surprised. This game doesn't offer all that much in graphics or game play, and it is a bit repetitive, but what it does offer is pretty darn good, strategic and innovative.

Right from the beginning just the way you move is innovative. Everything you do in this game is done differently from any other game out there. And I think that's a good thing, cause it's fun.

Stick with it through the first few stages. Then you will gain the ability to fly with a hot-air balloon, you'll have to learn to plan ahead a little bit for your next move, and pretty soon you'll forget about the mediocre graphics -- every move you make will have a bit of strategy to it. You can beat the other Pokemons on your first try in the easy level in most of the stages, but a real strategy fan or Pokemon fan will want to learn every little trick you need to complete each stage faster.

Don't get me wrong - Pokemon Dash is not the best game I have played for the DS. If you're only getting one get Mario 64 or Kirby Canvas Curse or WarioWare. But if you're willing to give it a little bit of time you may be pleasantly surprised by this game.
