Pokemon is a series that comprises a multitude of titles, the majority of which are actually spin-offs. These spin-offs tend to vary wildly in quality--some of them are exceptionally well done, while others are mediocre, and a few of them are just downright bad. Pokemon Rumble Blast is a follow-up to a rather obscure 2009 WiiWare game, and at first, it seems like it might offer up some mindless fun. Unfortunately, the "fun" part quickly evaporates after a short amount of play, revealing that a game that should be a "blast" is just mindless tedium. Rumble Blast, like the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series before it, is based in a world entirely separate from the central Pokemon setting. In this world, Pokemon are sentient tin windup toys. It's a cute idea, and the squat, angular toy Pokemon have a distinct style and charm while still being recognizable. These toys seem to live for combat and spend most of their existence either fighting or preparing to fight in big battles. There's a flimsy story where some malevolent force is trying to steal the healing glowdrops from the various settlements in the world for nefarious purposes, but it's unlikely to hold your interest. To move the story along, you recruit strong Pokemon to your cause from various locations and then enter competitions and storm enemy strongholds.

Boring gameplay, uninspired multiplayer, and inherently flawed design makes Pokemon Rumble Blast seem more like Pokemon Rumble Blahhhhh. Someone should tell Nintendo and the Pokemon Company that Japanese developer "Ambrella" just can't make a decent Pokemon game. It would be one thing if Pokemon Rumble Blast was just another unimpressive, watered down version of the series' source material. But aside from the unique Hey You, Pikachu! on the Nintendo 64, the developer has yet to do anything interesting with the Pokemon name attached to it. As a Pokemon fan, it's also irritating that the franchise's first title on the Nintendo 3DS had to be such a lackluster, mindless offering. If you're not familiar with the original Pokemon Rumble, let me recap -- this game takes place in a fantasy world of "Toy Pokemon," all of whom regularly duke it out in melee combat to see who can become the Toy Pokemon Champion. Without Pokemon Trainers, any recognizable locales from games in the core series, or anything tying it to the rest of the Pokemon universe, it feels and looks more like an isolated, redheaded stepchild of the Pokemon franchise than even the Pokemon Ranger series. Pokemon Rumble Blast isn't much different from its WiiWare predecessor either.
Pokemon Rumble Blast marks the very first Pokemon-branded title created for the 3DS. Pokemaniacs like myself have eagerly awaited the opportunity to see our favorite monsters rendered in full, stereoscopic 3D pretty much since we first heard about Nintendo's newest handheld. But while the game does have its charms, unfortunately the efforts of developer Ambrella just didn't end up warranting a full retail release. A sequel to 2009's WiiWare title, Rumble Blast shares the basic idea of its predecessor - namely taking toy versions of Pokemon into battle in a miniature adventure/beat 'em up. Wielding your army of toy monsters, you basically mash A through level after level of Pokemon-filled areas. Defeating all of the areas in a field opens up a Battle Royale arena, where you must defeat all of the Pokemon present within the time limit to progress. Defeat them all and you'll be crowned the Battle Royale Champion. While button mashing your way through each level provides more fun than you'd think, there's just not enough depth to it all. Yes, water Pokemon still have an advantage over fire types - and you have to keep a watch on your toys and switch them out before their health bar drops too low if you don't want to lose them - but that's about as far as the strategy goes.
