Have you played with the online components yet?

Only Wonder Trade and GTS. Wonder Trade is really fun, I have traded a lot of Trapinch and got lot of new pokemons that I didn't have. I also tried I few battles with random people but my only competitive pokemon is Flygon so I got my ass kicked.

By the way, seeing your avatar reminds me of something I forgot while writing the OP. Since Gen 3 I´ve seen a few  pokemons resembling Pikachu (Electric Rodents) but they are not part of the advertising campaign or they are somehow useless in the game. Wouldn't be a good idea to promote those pokemos? (assumig that Pikachu is still popular among kids).

And pokemon is all about gameplay isn't? Strategy, collecting and the adventure feeling are all part of the gameplay, I couldn't care less about the stupid story.

Edit: Read IIIIITHE1IIIII last post after posting. Lets stop it right there, discussing what gameplay is in a pokemon game is not the purpose of this thread.

Eh, there's no reason for them to be promoted more than any other Pokemon. Pikachu is already their mascot, and is the most relevant Pokemon in the show. As for gameplay, I'm not discussing what Pokemon's gameplay is, rather I'm telling him what gameplay is. The only things in a game that aren't gameplay are visuals and sounds. But yeah, still not what this thread is about, so that's the last thing I'll say on the matter!

Well they have not tried to promote other pokemos and seeing they resemblance to Pikachi it might help to drive some sales, I remember back in the third Gen when I saw Minum and Plusle I was excited but then came dissapointment as didn't found them useful. I could be a positive impact in sales, negative or do nothing. It was just an idea that pop into my head :P .

The same thing could be said of many games that have single player and multiplayer, seriously man.

And what about other RPGs?  You can use the same 3 characters in Final Fantasy XII a beat the game without any kind of strategy (Not bashing, FFXII is one of my favorites RPG) Golden Sun series offer a Djinn system in which you can assign a certain number of Djinn to the main characters, different combinations of Djinn enable different classes, but in the same way you can beat the game with the default combination of Djinn for each character. Even if you can beat the two games I mentioned without strategy, they offer many posibbilities in party creation.
