Toys and Games Reviews of Pokemon? Champion Island DVD Board Game
Customer Review: My 10 year old likes this game
Summary: 5 Stars
Ben 10 Alien Force Web Cardz Game Starter Set with Figure SwampfireI bought this game for my 10 year old son for Christmas. He's a big Pokemon fan and really liked the DVD aspect of the game. One disappointment was you have to play as Dawn to get Piplup as your pokemon - that's his favorite. But Piplup is Dawn's starter pokemon on the cartoon, so it makes sense. We did have trouble with the DVD, as other reviewers have stated. I e-mailed the manufacturer to get a replacement. I did have to contact them a second time, but they were so apologetic that they included a free toy with the replacement DVD. they even offered my son a choice of free toy! We thought that was great and smart customer service. The toy they sent along is anew Ben10 webcardz game that you can play in person or online. My son really likes that game too and is encouraging his friends to buy it so they can play together. So, I think they are a good company featuring innovative toys that feature some of my son's favorite characters!Customer Review: DVD keeps returning to start
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this game after reading all the great reviews on it and when we started playing it, it seemed like a really fun game. Except each time we've tried, it quits in the middle of the game for no apparent reason and goes back to the start. First time I thought it was a glitch, but it kept happening. The first time it was when we made a Team Rocket selection. Not sure what we clicked the next time. But the bottom line is there is a FLAW, and it's frustrating, and my 7 year old now refuses the play the game because it's such a big disappointment when it stops in the middle like that. We have a newer model Sony DVD player, it doesn't have any problem with any other DVDs, so I find it hard to believe that's the problem. And to see the only solution posted on the company's website for crashes is "use another DVD player" is beyond annoying. Like I have a couple extra DVD players just hanging around my house to test this on???? The game should have been tested for quality assurance more thoroughly before it was sold. It's not like I'm using a noname brand DVD player from the 90's here.Customer Review: Would not recommend this toy to anyone

Being a grownup and having a 6yr old son made me learn things I never wanted to know to begin with - Pokemon stuff :). So I bought this game hoping it would be a good game to play with him.
1) As with pretty much all pokemon related things, this toy has no education value whatsoever.
2) The DVD that guides you through the game is pretty much endless, but you can't turn off the DVD and come back to the same point - you have to start from scratch and the DVD loses track of all the pokemons that you've acquired. This is very frustrating, but since nobody has 4 hours at a time, it would have been nice to be able to pick up where you've left off. This does not seem to be an option, unless you 'pause' the DVD player until you get back to the game (hours or days later).
3) The only pro of this game is that you get to spend time with your child and playing this game is still better than them watching pokemon (or other similar pointless) cartoons by themselves. Other than this, I really don't see any value to this game.
Customer Review: Only one problem w/ GREAT game
Summary: 4 Stars
This game is a lot of fun for little pokemon experts. There are also lots of fun and educational logic and memory problems. I highly recomend it. The only problem is, my copy will, as one person already stated, skip back to the begining and completely restart the game about half of the time we go to the Team Rocket Challenge on the disc. We've overcome this by simply treating all the Team Rocket Challenges as Wild Pokemon squares. (You'll understand that when/if you get the game.) This works out well anyway because the kids like to collect the wild pokemon more than anything else. I expect with all the good reviews that don't mention this problem it's a small percentage of discs that do this. If yours does, exchange it for another one and chances are you'll be good to go. We've had our too long to exchange I think. LOLCustomer Review: Excellent game for Pokemon lovers

My 7 year old son is a huge pokemon fan. I bought this game hoping to bridge the gap between his love of pokemon and the desire for my wife and I to play games with our son. This game is a huge success. It really tests your knowledge of the Pokemon world. It is scary how much my son actually knows about the details of each pokemon. He regularly beats my wife and I. The game is very well done. So far we have not encountered many duplicate questions.
I would recommend this game to any Pokemon lover. The games enjoyment goes up as your knowledge of Pokemon goes up. This game would not be fun for a child who does not know as much about the individual Pokemon. If you don't know the details, you wind up guessing (and losing in my case).
