Pokemon Trainer Guess: Kanto Edition Electronic Game for 72 months to 180 months

We got this as a gift for a 6 year old. He loves it! It asks you questions about Pokémon and tries to guess the one you're thinking of. You often have to know what type the Pokémon is, so it's useful to have the Essential Guide to Pokémon pokedex book by your side while you play. Overall a great gift, and a good way to entertain the kiddo!

grandson loved it

I had my doubts about this because the ball could never guess the pokemon my kid was thinking, but my husband used it and it was able to guess every pokemon right. My daughter just didn't know a whole lot about her pokemon which made it difficult for the ball to properly guess what she was thinking. Over all, I say it's good toy to get for someone who knows a lot about pokemon. She hasn't played with it since Christmas.

UPDATE: Helps to read the instructions LOL The "go back" command is very helpful. If you say "yes" but don't here the "yes" chime, it probably understood a "no". Simply tell it to repeat the question by saying "go back". Sometimes it still won't understand and you'll find yourself shouting at a plastic ball but I was able to collect over 20 Pokemon in a day. For that reason, I'll update my 3 star to a 4 star. Enjoy!Cute and promising but keeps misunderstanding yes vs no. Either fix the issue or install yes/no buttons for better accuracy.

I bought this for one of my son’s friends who is a huge Pokémon fan. He loves it and says it’s easy to use.

CONS:Errors - You have to know the weaknesses and the strengths against each types of Pokemon. You can find a printout online or just study them, but the latter option is not ideal for a 6 year old, (even if he was a Pokemon Master lol)So if you want to sit there for hours banging your head in frustration but remain calm with your child. Have fun! Because the second con is the voice recognition.Voice recognition - There is a little voice recognition issue, though. It's a little sensitive but it's no Alexa nor Siri. You can say phrases like, "go back, repeat, say it again," or start all the way over by turning it off.Volume - It's loud, however, I didn't check for a volume adjustment.PROS:Fun - My son is 6. He has a lot of fun with it. I thought it was cool seeing how excited (extremely) he was after adding his first Pokemon to the Pokedex. 36 Pokemon later, he was still going.. it drove me a little insane because of how loud it is.Cute - My son is an only child... and he calls it his little brother. Considering that during this COVID-19 pandemic, it's close to the only responsive interaction that involves what he's interested in. (Again, going insane because all I hear is the Pokemon theme song lol)Price - I rather pay $20 for an electronic device that keeps my son engaged, rather than $40 for a Booster Box that essentially is just... CARDBOARD PAPER.

Arrived timely in good condition

My nephew loved this for Christmas especially since he is a huge Pokémon fan.
