This game's nothing like all the other Pokemon games, instead of trying to become a Pokemon master your trying to become the best battler! The game's just like when you battle trainers except that now everythings in 3D so you can see what the attacks look like instead of seeing a few flashes like on Gameboy. There will also be a unit shipped with the game, it's a 64GB Pak. This item fits into the controller like the rumble pak. There's a slot at the bottom of the pak where you insert one of your Pokemon games, enabling you to swap the pokemon you caught on Gameboy and transfer it to 64. Also you can play Pokemon on your T.V using the N64 controller to move around. There will be 40 built in Pokemon that you can chooses from at the start, you have to upload the others from your Gameboy. The starting 40 Pokemon are:
Venusaur Dugtrio Gengar Scyther Vaporeon Dragonite
Charizard Primeape Onix Cloyster Jolteon Nidoking
Blastoise Arcanine Beedrill Pinsir Flareon Jynx
Hypno Alakazam Electrode Tauros Aerodactyl Starmie
Fearow Machamp Exeggcutor Gyarados Snorlax Vaporeon
Pikachu Golem Zapdos Moltres Articuno Lapras
Nidoqueen Magneton Kangaskhan Ditto Chansey
Once you start the game, a menu will appear with these options:
Picture Book: This holds the Pokemon in a Photo Album so you can now view all the Pokemon in full color and in 3D, there's also maps to show the Pokemon in it's natural habitat and where it's located so you'll be able to find it easily.
Quick Look: This option is just like when you click Pokemon on the Gameboy, you can look at the Pokemons stats, moves, HP, PP, picture etc. You can also view the items stored in the computer.
Collection: This shows you all of the Pokemon on the cartridge, here you'll be able to check out you and your opponents teams and see which moves are effective against what Pokemon, like the battle chart.

Tournament: Here you send your Pokemon to their DEATH (j/k) no you send them into battle the computer or your friends whatever you choose.
