    I really don't think they will be any contender against the Pokemon games. But man, I use to love Crazy Bones growing up!. I would trade with my friends at school and battle with them. Of course they got banned which sucked. But Crazy Bones were awesome!

    Seriously?

    Anyway, they've got a long of ground to cover if they intend for these kinds of games to go compete with Pokemon. Nintendo have practically a stranglehold on that market as is.
