You can do this in a variety of ways, from playing games to doing favors to battling. Since the plot, much like the original, places a huge emphasis on the importance of friendship, a large part of the experience involves befriending a limited group of different species of Pokemon from all five generations (no, they're not all in here, just a hundred or so). These are the only Pokemon you get to play as, which is a huge shame, as more variety would have been much appreciated. Throughout the adventure you switch between four different Pokemon, Pikachu and the Black and White starters - Snivy, Tepig and Oshawott. The game is incredibly slow to start, and never really finds a satisfying stride. PokePark 2 presents a charming world to run around, but when it comes to gameplay, there's just not that much to it.

Unfortunately, this is where the game falls short. Still, while the skeletal story may amuse kiddos or anyone with a fatal attraction to cuteness, there needed to be some substantive gameplay to make it worthwhile for anyone else. It's silly, to be sure, but you'd expect nothing less from a new PokePark game. How, you ask? By using cake to hypnotize them. The basic gist involves a scheme to kidnap Pokemon. As for the story, it's completely nonsensical, though pretty hilarious at times. All of this goes a long way in bringing the world to life and capturing the Pokemon spirit. The character models of the different Pokemon look amazing too, as do their fluid animations. From the loading screens that feature Pikachu and pals waving and running about to the way your playable characters waddle across the world, everywhere you turn you'll find something unbearably cute to behold. PokePark 2 is, not surprisingly, utterly adorable.
