Disappointed: Wish I hadn't spent the money.

I purchased this for my grandson who loves dogs hoping he would enjoy it as a birthday gift but decided to check it out first and I am very glad I did. He would be bored out of his mind with this game. Aside from watching the dog sleep and move around a crude lil house there isn't much else you can do with him. Yes, he does talk to you... the same things over and over. There are mini-games that can be played to earn points to decorate the house; something lil girls may enjoy. (Actually the mini-games are probably the most interesting part of this game) In my opinion if a child is old enough to read chances are they will be bored with this game.
It could have had much more potential than it does. I was VERY disappointed.

This game is pretty lame if it weren't for the puzzle games included. For kids it might be fun to buy your dog stuff but it's slow and boring. The matching dogs part is addictive as well as the picture one, those two make the game worth buying but if you are a puzzle person Tetris or Dr. Mario is a better buy.

Somewhat dissappointing.

My other dtr. has Nintendogs. We got this because it was for a GBA. She enjoyed it at first, but tired of it quickly.

I am 11 and I got this game when I was 10. The first few days were good with it, but then I got mad... because once you have a dog for a few days, the dog says that you need to let it go. So I think it is a waste of time and money.

it is not as it thought

'Pocket Dogs' is perfect for those, like me, waiting to one day get their hands on a DS/Nintendogs. I have a Gameboy Advance SP, that I absolutely adore, so while I'm waiting to get a DS I decided to pick up 'Pocket Dogs'. The price should be $10 dollars cheaper, since the graphics on this game don't excel like with Nintendog, but it is a really cute game nevertheless.

You can't intereact as much with your pet like you can in Nintendogs. IE: Petting, but it's cool how randomly your pet in this game will talk to you, ask questions or just speak it's mind. Your pet will also give you photos of other dogs as gifts for your photo album every few times that you play with him or take him out. The graphics on this game are decent. The dog moves from photos taken from real-life dog(s), so the graphics aren't something to OooO and ahh about, but for an SP they're pretty good.

The biggest flaw is that you can't buy your pet many items. Only a ball, bone and frisbee, but there are a lot of other items you can buy for around the house to make your pet happy. IE: Furniture, pictures, music, food, holiday items, dolls, plants, electronics and so on. They especially love it when you dress up the house for the holidays. The mini-games can be quite addicting and the "find it!" game is the best for winning jewels to buy items, but you can also find items you don't need to waste jewels on.

I don't think it could ever live up to Nintendogs, but at least there is 'Pocket Dogs' & 'Dogz for SP that can satisfy someone who does not yet own a DS or the Nintendogs series.

Pocket Dogs fun game

This game is quite fun and cute. First you pick out a dog then yo go to this house (which you can decorate) there are 3 mini games(which you can earn money by playing or jewels as there called) and you can chat with your dog you can tell it i'm fealing happy,sad,mad,u can sing 2 it and ask your fortune. But in this game the dog has(unfortunatly) to leave you
Then you start over. It's more like a game than rasing a pet. If you get this game i hope you like it as much as I do

Fun But Sad

I like that the dogs are really cute and it is fun. But I had a dachshund named Star and she was taken away. Its kind of sad. That was the only thing I did not like.

Pocket Dogs Cute!!

Good game overall, my son wasn't thrilled but everyone else who played it liked it especially the girls.My son wanted it so bad because he loves animals, but I think animal planet is more for him. I think this game is more of a girly kind of game, you know cute. It doesn't teach you anything it's just cute. Depends on the kid I guess.
