History YMMV / PokeParkWii

* PeripheryDemographic: A pretty good chunk of the fanbase are older gamers who like adorable things. It helps that there's a surprising amount of GeniusBonus in there for the older fans of the main games, such as Audino being the one to train your HP (Audino gives HP [=EVs=] in the main games), LampshadeHanging of improbable move users (Primeape knowing Iron Tail can happen in the main games) and other fandom jokes (such as Gothorita's [[spoiler: UnsettlingGenderReveal, referencing the fact that, in the main games, the [[ElegantGothicLolita Gothita]] line still has a 25% chance of being male]]).

* ContestedSequel: ''Wonders Beyond''. Some people feel that the decisions to make the Pokémon you befriend more like interactive {{Plot Coupon}}s and reducing the amount of unique minigames from 10 (14 if you count the reskins) to 5 make the game feel like there was a lot removed compared to the original. It also doesn’t help that virtually the entire roster of Pokémon the player can befriend are from Unova. Others say that the first game wasn't really anything special while he second game gives us the Unova starters as playable characters for more variety, a more developed plot and some new features.

** Torterra in the first game. He is immune to Thunderbolt and his Razor Leaf attack is hard to avoid. Even with maxed stats he is still difficult. The only real chance you have is if he gets too close to the river, allowing you to knock him in.

-->'''Primeape:''' I've mastered Iron Tail ''without a tail''! And you know what that means?

** On Pokepark 2's end, [[spoiler:Piplup's fight in Wish Palace. Piplup has only two attacks but he hits like an absolutely truck, and can demolish you if you haven't had HP training from Audino or you're not playing Snivy.]]
** Victini and Lucario in the Battle Colloseum in 2. Victini will constantly ram into you with V-Create and though he is weak to Oshawott it is hard getting him there. Lucario is worse- his Aura Sphere takes a while to charge up but hits fast and hard and he has a fast jab attack. He is weak to Tepig, but it is next to impossible to get him past Hydreigon.

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel:
** The first game wasn't really anything special, but good enough for what it was. The second game gives us the Unova starters as playable characters for more variety, a more developed plot and some new features.
** In regards to the other '[[VideoGame/HeyYouPikachu cute]] [[VideoGame/PokemonChannel Pikachu]]' games, these ones are a definite step up in both presentation and gameplay since instead of a VirtualPet sim, they're more action adventure games with a series of [[SidetrackedByTheGoldSaucer surprisingly addictive]] mini-games to them.
