This storytelling game is an ideal guide to the fun and fantastic world of Pokémon. Each of the game's exciting episodes provides an opportunity for parents to read to their children, with all the mutual benefits that confer. But this is not just a passive listening experience--along the way, kids exercise their reading and math skills and flex their imaginations as they help determine each episode's plot and outcome. The 60-page instruction booklet includes a guide for parents, complete playing instructions, and 16 fun episodes such as Spearow Trouble, Pokémon Emergency, and Samurai's Challenge. Everything needed to play is included in the 6-by-4-by-1.75-inch box.
