Pokepark fun

We recently discovered Pokemon and having fun with all the various ways to enjoy. Never knew there were so many Pokemon related things.
We decided we wanted to try finding a Pokemon video game and heard about the Wii game Pokepark  A couple of weeks ago we heard that Pokepark was one of the easier games for younger kids and decided to try it out. Luckily we have a really great library system and Pokepark was available for us to try.

The game definitely requires a lot of interaction on my part to help her read the different messages but it's been fun to help C progress. What I really like is that you're not constantly falling off a cliff or into the beyond and thus losing all the time. The general idea of the game is to  eventually make friends with all the Pokemon in the Pokepark by doing battles, challenges and solving riddles. Seems easy right? Well, I'm not a huge video gamer but I couldn't even manage to figure out the game. C's dad got a few Pokemon friends but was still having trouble figuring out the game. Enter a four a half year old who isn't reading much and after just a short time she had figured out how to reach new levels and win the mini games. Maybe she can eventually explain the game to me :)

So before we make Christmas cookies today, we are having some fun in the Pokepark!
