unstable software
I actually have the "red" version of this software (which Amazon does not sell) but assume the basic platform is the same. The software crashed my daughter's machine repeatedly; I had to load it on my own computer for her to finish her project. Even then, it crashed my machine as well, several times, before I finally cut-and-pasted her work into PowerPoint to get it printed. I'm uninstalling both copies - she had some fun with it, but it's not worth the aggravation.

Very good, some flaws in program.
Pokemon Project Studio Blue Version is definitely a good program to use for making a Pokemon project. When I used the program, it was very good, but had one or two flaws. If you install both versions, you can use all of the Pokemon. The only flaw is that when I tried to transfer Pokemon from one version to another, no good. It wouldn't be able to transfer. What that simply means is that you can't use different Pokemon from another version on the other version. That can be a major hassle at times. But otherwise, a very good program to use and the results are excellent. An overall 4 stars.

Good program - no support
Firstly, these programs (Red and Blue)are easy to use, and allow many creative projects as part of the Print Shop family.

However, having bought these last Christmas, I have found that Mattel (owner of The Learning Co.) no longers offers support for these programs.

Additionally, while they advertise that you must get both programs to "get all the pokemon" you can not share the graphics between the programs. This means that you must launch them separately and keep separate projects in order to use all the pokemon -- very unfriendly.

Powerful software, great for kids and others too
Very powerful software. Had all the key Pokemon my son wanted. Very easy to manipulate objects, including sizing and rotation. Easy to create from scratch, modify existing templates, or move motifs from templates to blanks. Can create many lovely items w/o Pokemon if you so wish. Easy, easy, easy to use by kids. I had trouble loading it and received excellent tech support from the publisher! A great experience overall.

Cool!
Wow! Nintendo has done it again! You can make sooo many things with this program! I own both of them, but this one is my fav. This is definately worth your money, and is the perfect gift for any Pokémon fan! ... Read more

Nothing to do!!
This CD Rom is very boring! There are only 3 things to do. You can play a trivia game ( it's very short ), look for Pokemon (It's too easy! It took me about three minutes.), and clicking on things. I even tried getting another Pokemon CD Rom but it wasn't any better. The only things different are that now you look you two Pokemon and you have a few more questions on your trivia game. Even with all the Pokemon CD Roms, I don't think it would be any more fun than with just one. Save your money and buy a better CD Rom. PS Sorry Pokemon fans but this game is a let down. Try looking under Pokemon figures, and Pokemon video games. They are much more fun to play with!

Beware
I just bought this for my 4 and 6 year olds. They love Pokemon and I thought it would be great for them to explore and print out the characters. Even though the age is geared towards 1st-5th grade I thought there'd be enough to print and watch. Not so. Beware if your buying for young children you'll be disappointed. It also doesn't have a lot on it. It's quite limited.

learning
Learning science,math,ect is hard for your kids to focus and they can focus on pokemon then they should use this software to makelearning easier. Since they love these pocket monsters..... so to make learning easier....buy this software! ... Read more

Beware! Only old-fashioned tray-type CD-ROM drives for this!
I bought about 7 of these cool new Pokemon CD-ROMs for my son, and after I got them, I discovered that they will not play in the newer, slot-type CD-ROM drives (i.e. an iMac). So, as long as you have the old, tray-style, you're all set. But we were pretty disappointed because we can't play them on the computer with the best graphics.

PokeROM
PokeROMs are mini shape CD-Roms that feature a different character.Each PokeROM lets you play an educational games. One of the coolest features is a multiplayer game that holds over 200 question based on Math,Science,Reading and Social Studies. The more PokeROM you have the more Pokemon you can spot in the Lab.If you need some advice just click on Profesor Oak

Doesn't install on Windows XP
My 8 yr. old son received Pikachu PokeROM for a gift, and we were unable to install it. When it prompted us for the location of the Pokemon Sanctuary files, it complained that there wasn't enough disk space (our system has 20 GB free). He is very disappointed and it is too bad that Mattel did such a terrible job testing this product.

A world never seen before!
As I first explored the Pokerom, I thought WOW! This is the best in the world! It's awesome. A pokemon sanctuary too!!!!

Pokerom
My son received a pokerom as a gift for his 6th birthday. Every time he tries to enter the Pokemon Sanctury, we get a message on our computer that there is an error on the disc and the program shuts down. The message also states that if the problems persists that the vendor of the program should be contacted. There is a phone number on the package, however, it is not a toll free number. I do not believe that I should have to pay long distance charges to discuss problems on such a small program.

I have been trying to locate customer service on-line but I have been unsuccessful.

This has been very disappointing for my child who is a very avid Pokemon fan.

Disappointed. Lacks variety and enjoyment
My son, far too young at 4 loves pokemon. This has disappointed all of us because It is far too difficult to even facillitate guesses. The levels are very difficult and lack fun. Its too bad it isnt more animated. Normally, children of all ages can at least guess at these answers. But there is no room for mistakes. Im sorry that I bought two of these.

Pikachu PokeRom
The various PokeRoms (Pikachu is my son's favorite) are a wonderful way to combine a child's interest in the Pokemon phenomenon with a simple introduction for a child to the use of a computer. It is a wonderful way to play with your child, while at the same time helping the child become interested in a learning game. The most fun part, however, is simply the process of collecting the many Pokemon characters in PokeRom form and adding them to the Pokemon sanctuary. The program is very simple and easy for a child to use. While I agree that it would be an excellent idea to change the questions with each new PokeRom, I still give this product the highest rating for any parent who wants to share the fun of "Pokemon" with their child in a creative computer environment. ...

Amazon.com Review

In a medium that often sees cheap, poorly done releases to capitalize on the latest fad, Pokémon Project Studio is the real deal: a great creativity toolkit for any child fan. The software is much like an adult's graphics application, with a look and feel like that of Photoshop. The difference is that Studio is drenched in color, with vibrant characters available to insert into every artistic project.

For anyone who's been circling planet Earth rather than living on it, Pokémon is the rage with the elementary-school set. To say that it's a hot fad is a rabid understatement. Kids love the Japanese Anime characters, based on a Nintendo pocket game. The same sensibility permeates this licensed product, and it's sure to satisfy.

The software offers both preconstructed projects and the ability to start from scratch. The menu lists are dense with text, so for younger kids, parents will need to be there for the first few hours of play. (After that, kids can easily orient themselves to the corresponding colorful, icon-based buttons on the interface).

The main drawing board offers a wide variety of things to make: birthday cards, stationery, postcards, and calendars. (Teachers and parents may want to get this software for themselves--included are achievement awards and banners that can easily be personalized.) Also included with the software is Avery sticker paper--which can be refilled--and more substantive plastic paper that can be baked in the oven after it's been printed (a process similar to making Shrinky Dinks).

A superior graphics package, Pokémon Project Studio has the added luck of featuring the hottest characters around. While kids will just love to play with their favorite animal friends, parents will appreciate the thought and planning needed to execute these artistic endeavors. ... Read more
