Well, it may be like that for some people, but I can say from experience that if you really get into the game, you really can play it for hours at a time. Wanting to collect every Pokémon, every form, even every noticeable gender difference, with all the different moves, it can get pretty addicting. And the game’s story is not too bad either. But that might just be me. (I’m the kinda Pokémon trainer who focuses on “catching ’em all” and completing the Pokédex more than IV/EV/whatever training for competitive battling, so my opinion of a game like this may differ greatly from others.)

Well, as stated it’s fun. It isn’t exactly deep or engaging so it isn’t something I want.
But if you don’t like complexity and just want to go for pure action, this game suits you well. There’s a lot to collect, and some variety in gameplay, and it is certainly easy to pick up. This isn’t a game your playing for hours at one time, but rather you play ten minutes and two hours later you play another 15 minutes or so.
Not the best spin-off ever released, but it might be just something for you.

How fun? I’m getting it for christmas tooooo
