****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: Ah, finally some company has enough guts to release 
a Pokémon ripoff for the Game Boy! There's something about major license
ripoffs that appeal to me, so I decided to pick this game up.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: Well, as I said, this is a Pokémon ripoff. You capture
Robopon and battle them with other Robopon. It's Pokémon with a robotic 
outlook!

Liked: Robot monsters, ripoffs appeal to me :D
Hated: Well, it's obviously not very original

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: The main engine graphics are DEFINATE ripoffs of 
Pokémon. They literally took the Pokémon characters and gave them HUGE feet.
I'm not even joking here! They're the exact same graphics with ever SLIGHT
variations. The battle graphics are pretty nice, I like them. 

Liked: Battle graphics
Hated: TOTAL Pokémon ripoff graphics

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: The music's nothing outstanding. It's not bad, so 
you don't need to turn the volume down. That's a lot to be said considering
some of the music from other Game Boy games. Not as great as Pokémon, though.

Liked: Not having to turn off the music
Hated: Nothing new or spectacular

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Well, the controls in the engine aren't crisp like
that of Pokémon. Also, the menus take a VERY long time to load. Why? No idea.

Liked: Not much
Hated: Semi-unresponsive controls, long loading menus

****************************************************************************

Improve: Change the graphics so they aren't such an obvious Pokémon ripoff.
Also, a new soundtrack wouldn't hurt. Making the menus load up faster would
be a good thing.

RIYL: Try the Pokémon games

****************************************************************************

Final Words: This game's pretty cool, and appeals to me alot because it's
a ripoff :D
