Cons:
Doesn't hold the interest of casual players long enough to get to the new levels.

Author's Review
I have two boys ages nine and six.
My 6 year old thinks this pokemon game is even better than the others. He's quite happy to have a pokemon game that his brother hasn't beaten before him. I read several reviews that said this game was just like Ruby and Sapphire and then found several more detailed reviews that said the extra levels were well worth the money. Basically it's like familiar ground to the kids they can cover and go a little further with.
My 9 year old played the game for less than a day before declaring it the same as the the last two pokemon games and giving up. This has made the 6 year old very happy to not need to share his new game.
Overall my opinion is this has kept my 6 year old busy through the past weekend, several of his brothers activities and 3 sick days from school. He LOVES the game and has declared it the best ever.
For the older kids who were around when the first pokemon game game out, they will probably lose interest before getting to the new levels.
