The game has a somewhat straightforward game progression and you pretty much have to fast travel everywhere which takes away a lot of the exploration aspects that the franchise is so known for

Probably the most ambitious Pokemon game ever

This game is truly unique within the Pokemon franchise

It was the first ever Pokemon game put out on the a non handheld console

That was considered a turn based RPG yes you had games like Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon snap but those
Where attempts at Different genres

But rather than follow the time-tested formula that people love so much they decided to go in a very experimental path featuring story revolving around a Pokemon

Thief That would steal other people's Pokemon

Game had a very solid storyline but it definitely suffers

Constraining level designs the small amount of Pokemon available and the lack of the overall charm of the franchise

Kudos

The idea of being able to travel vast distances in only a few steps is a compelling one, and it's hard not to imagine that there is at least some work being done trying to discover ways to make it happen. As such, that makes the premise of "The Fold" all that much more believable: that a team of scientists being funded by DARPA has invented a portal that bends space-time to bring 2 points closer together, allowing a person to simply step across and be any distance away in an instant. Of course, something seems not quite right about the goings-on at the lab, and Mike Erikson is recruited to head there and investigate things. I won't tell you what happens from there, and I think the less one knows about it going into the book the better. Let's just say that things don't work out quite the way they want them to, and this winds up being one of the scarier, more suspenseful books I've read in a while. If I hadn't had to work in the mornings, I would have probably stayed up all night reading this one, it's that compelling. Easily the most entertaining book I've read in 2015 so far.
