Yeah, it has nice graphics, but the battles are also horribly slow, and there is literally NO POINT in playing if you don't have a copy of Diamond/Pearl and/or Wifi on you. There is NO excuse for the lack of choice regarding rental pokemon or ANY sort of extras beyond trainer customization. Geez, at least they could have put in a few minigames a la the Stadium titles. I guess the worst thing about this is despite that it's on a more powerful system, it's a severe downgrade from everything that came before it.

As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

The japanese trailer for it made it look so much better than it actually was.

It's because there's not much to do unless you do a lot of online battling with anonymous people or people you met online or in real life. If you love watching your Pokemon duel in impressive 3-D (well, cept for the flat audience) graphics and love being able to jump into a quick (but sometimes not so quick) battle online, along with getting some degree of customization for your character, this is your game. If not, then it isn't.
I prefer battling on PBR over D/P because the battling looks cooler and I don't have to beg for FCs if I wanna battle online. That and I can actually look at least slightly different from my opponent (well, different from the popular Cool Boy model and even some avatars that share the same model as I) while on D/P, everyone's an identical twin of everyone. I don't play it too often, but every now and again, I pop in the CD and battle some people online.
Also, if you want a quick, easy way to get Magmortar or Electivire and don't care about nicknames, that's a bonus.
But, if they mixed this with a 3-D RPG, then we'd have a game with an at least slightly better reception. If they make a sequel of PBR or a battle mode outside of the RPG in a similar manner as PBR, they should put some work into character customization. If we had an in-depth customization feature, that would be epic. Nintendo at least introduced the system, but they're only at the tip of the iceberg. Along with that, they should work on online battling, regulating Ubers, and stuff like that. (Even though formulating Uber counters can be fun and make you feel like an evil genius for doing so. I made an anti-Darkrai Snorlax, but I dunno if it's really gonna be that effective without proper EV training and maybe some other tweaks.)
