Pokemon Rumble U Review
Hey guys Its Jake Here for another review! let’s get on with this and give you an insight into Pokemon Rumble U is the 3rd Game in the Rumble series and is a fairly good successor to the great Pokémon Rumble Blast game.
Pokemon Rumble U Gameplay
The Gameplay is quite different to the original two games because instead of levels it is always an arena style match, where you’re in an arena and you’ve got to keep defeating Pokemon till the boss comes… Which you will then own and get to keep it if you’re lucky!
The figures are back with a new twist however you can’t upgrade them yet. The only ones you can upgrade are the ones you purchase… At £3.99 for a blind pack (In other words you don’t know what’s in the pack). These Figures actually can be put on the Wii U Pad on a certain spot and they appear like magic on the screen, my mum really loved this part of the game.
One downside is say your favorite Pokémon like me is Dratini and you want to go through the whole game as this Pokemon you can’t because only a couple of Pokémon can be obtained, so it gets really tough in the meta-game but that’s beside the point.
On to the good bits, there’s challenges which once you complete them you get rare Pokémon like Blastoise or Keldeo or even Typhlosion!
In every Area there’s a few bosses you must beat untill you can go to the next area, so there’s also items like the Master capsule which makes whatever it hits a 100% catch rate and then there’s the time missions which are challenges which have to be achieved on a certain day or at a certain time (In Real Life time that is).
…!SPOILER ALERT SKIP FOR NO SPOILERS!…
So the gist of things are there’s a new stock of Pokemon toys in the Toy shop, when an EVIL Pokemon (Black Kyurem) somehow drop’s the cargo making it all go everywhere,Four capsules get pulled down the river which conveniently are Pikachu Snivy Oshawott and Tepig… anyway now you must Travel through areas defeating Legendary Pokemon with the Starters and get back to the toy shop……………………..HAVE FUN!
Conclusion
This is a great game at a very reasonable price and you have plenty of extras that you can spend money on to expand the game further. You can build up a fine collection of Pokemon figures just like me.
This game missed an opportunity which could have hyped the fans even more for X and Y,in my opinion it would be great if Nintendo made a downloadable content to coincide with the release of Pokemon X and Y (£3-£4 would be good) with a new story added and X n’ Y Pokemon in the game and this would make the best rumble game out yet .
I would give this a Jake rating of 4.5 out of 5 because this game is totally awesome, this game a fun and has been really well thought out. I love Pokemon games and this is great for all ages.

I can’t believe how far pokemon has come along I used to collect the cards. I don’t have a Wii U so this isn’t something I can play which kinda sucks I had pokemon on Nintendo Advance.
Over from UK Bloggers
I know someone who would love to have a rumble 😉
This is a lot cheaper than Disney Infinity and looks just as fun. But is it as good as the originals that I grew up with lol.
Great review.

This looks really good. I also remember collecting the Pokemon cards, still have them somewhere but this looks a lot more fun.
I used too collect pokemons way way back but didn’t know about this. It’s cheap and looks awesome to play!
what a great review! my son not into pokemon but I could see this appealing to him
I used to love pokemon! This looks great 🙂
nice to see a child reviewing it himself! it does look an interesting game, im sure when mine are a bit older they would be into this kind of thing
My kids are Pokemon crazy, so we’ll have to check this out. My youngest is even asking for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for his birthday – feel like we’ve gone back to the 80s!
aaa good old pokemon x
Great review and looks like alot of fun
Great review Jake!
Gosh Pokémon’s have come a long way! How old does that make me sound?
Brilliant review, it sounds like so much fun. I can’t actually believe Pokemon is still around if I’m honest but it’s great that it is.
What fun to have an arena style match with the Pokemon. Beating the bosses might be a problem for me.
My Daughter used to play Pokemon all the time. This would be such a blast from the past for her..
Oh I know of a few 9-11 year olds would be in heaven with this game! They just adore pokeman!
Ash has this – he’s not played it much though as of yet – I broke a couple of his pokemon for it though I’m such a bad girlfriend haha.
I’m a little surprised that Pokemon is still around. I remember my brothers trading cards as a kid.
Oh gosh, I remember when my boys were little, they loved Pokemon. They still have the collectible poke ball and cards. They are grown but would probably play this.
My son used to love Pokemon. I would have been purchasing this so quickly!
That looks like oodles of fun. My granddaughter would love it. I will have to run out and buy this!
It’s so funny to me that Pokemon is still so popular, my oldest loved it and he’s 25 now. 🙂
My son loves the Pokemon games and we have most of them but only for the Nintendo DS. We have a Wii U but only have Mario games. I wonder if my son would want this for the the Wii U as well.
My kids use to collect all the Pokemon cards. They traded and all the good stuff. Wow, now its games and toys and more.

I know my son would love this!
How crazy! I’m 25 and remember Pokemon being huge when I was in middle school. I can’t believe it’s still around. Seems like a fun game!
I feel so old reading this review. I remember my friends would trade Pokemon cards.
I know some people that would love this. I will pass this info along.
My boys would love this, they are Pokemon fanatics.
I used to play with this sort of game a lot way back – brings back memories!
I remember my siblings and I love Pokemon when we were kids. Cool action figures you have there.
If it was available for the 3DS I’d be all over this but I’m not dishing out money for a Wii just to play it. I’m already committed to Playstation baby!! 😛
I missed the whole Pokemon thing, but I do love a good video game, and it looks like this is a good one!
great review! makes me want to go out and get one 🙂
My son would love this, he is getting a wiiu for Christmas. Will look in to this, looks great 🙂
Looks like a fab product, definitely one for the boys! Great review xxx
I think Pokemon toys and games are great
Both my SOn and Grandson loves pokemon games…they would spend all day playing them if I allowed it lol 😀
I remember playing Pokemon on my Gameboy so long ago
Looks a fun game and love the characters you can get – seems a long while since my 2 were trading cards (which are still upstairs somewhere!!) No Wii U here so unless I win one I on’t be getting this 🙁
Never really played these games from pokemon, always stuck to just the original series of games and well initially the cards until I grew up a bit but still with the games (currently not got the new ones til I have money for a 3ds or 2ds (undecided yet).
i played pokemon when i was a child (seems so long ago!!) and now my children are playing it, much better quality now though
This looks great!
