\"\"<\/a>One of the most revisited Pok\u00e9mon spin-offs has been Pok\u00e9mon Rumble.\u00a0 In the game you play with toy Pok\u00e9mon as you bash into other toy Pok\u00e9mon in real time.\u00a0 The Rumble game on the Wii U even let you buy real toys you could scan, which would become the prototypes for amiibo figures!\u00a0 Now that Pok\u00e9mon has found new popularity on mobile devices thanks to Pok\u00e9mon GO, now the Rumble series is on mobile as well with Pok\u00e9mon Rumble Rush (reviewed on iPad here).\u00a0 It\u2019s basically an endless clicker in disguise, but it\u2019s certainly one of the better ones I\u2019ve come across.<\/p>\n

In the game, you take a toy Pok\u00e9mon and travel to areas to battle other toy Pok\u00e9mon.\u00a0 Your toy will automatically move forward, and when you tap the screen, it\u2019ll attack.\u00a0 Each toy can have different moves, and some moves are strong and weak against other types of Pok\u00e9mon, so it\u2019s good to be familiar with that aspect of the game.\u00a0 At the end of an area, you\u2019ll fight a boss.\u00a0 As long as you can get through everything without losing all your energy, you\u2019ll pass the level.\u00a0 You can switch out Pok\u00e9mon if the one you have is low on power, or if you have a better one for the situation.\u00a0 At the end of the round, you\u2019ll earn new Pok\u00e9mon to play as, coins, and maybe feathers and ores.\u00a0 Levels only last about a minute, so it\u2019s a good quick time waster.<\/p>\n

You use feathers to pin spots on the map to find new levels with more Pok\u00e9mon to fight and catch.\u00a0 You can refine ores over time and collect new gears to attach to your Pok\u00e9mon to give them more power.\u00a0 To progress in the game, you\u2019ll need to battle super bosses which have requirements before you can face them.\u00a0 Some of these requirements include catching a certain number of Pok\u00e9mon or having a toy in your party above a certain level.\u00a0 These super boss fights are timed so you have to be even stronger to beat them.<\/p>\n

The only problem I had with this game is that shortly after the first level, progress slows down a lot, as these free-to-play games tend to do.\u00a0 I\u2019m also not a big fan of how they turned this series into an endless clicker, but it is one of the better ones I\u2019ve played.\u00a0 It might be a good short time waster for Pok\u00e9mon fans.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The toy Pok\u00e9mon can ram into each other and use attacks like electricity and water, but defeated toys just fall over and disappear and that\u2019s it.\u00a0 If you\u2019re OK with your kids playing other Pok\u00e9mon games, they\u2019ll be OK here.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the text, and parental supervision is recommended for the in-game ads and purchases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
