Mostly, you have to challenge them to a game of 'Chase' (a cat-and-mouse kind of game where you chase them down through the area) or a battle (a duel where you have to deplete your opponent's health gauge before the same happens to you). But in order to get a Pokémon's help, you first need to become friends with them. They need some help, and that help comes in the form of the 200-or-so pokémon that inhabit PokéPark. The thing about those portals I mentioned in the last paragraph is that they can't be opened by just our heroes alone. Once you find these portals and cross over, you must then clear one of the park's 'amusements' (read: mini-game) and defeat a boss in order to rescue the Pokémon in each area. You can switch between the four Pokémon at any time, which is good since you will need to employ all four, frequently, to progress through PokéPark and find hidden portals to Wish Park's four areas. You've got Oshawott, who can swim and access areas that can only be gotten to by water Snivy, who can jump to high ledges, as well as run fast and Tepig, who can break down obstructive barriers. Joining Pikachu on his journey, are the three starter pokémon from Pokémon Black and White, each with their own special abilities. And while PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond lacks the greatest writing, the story makes for a fun little adventure that should keep you entertained. I know that may sound silly, considering it's, well, Pokémon, but there were some rather suspenseful moments. Now, what surprised me about the plot was that there are some genuine moments of suspense and drama, moments like when Pikachu is forced to leave a friend of his trapped in Wish Park at the beginning, or when it is revealed that Pikachu is destined to save the world like a hero of legend. In order to free the trapped pokémon, Pikachu travels across PokéPark, hunting down clues and learning the truth behind the proprietors of Wish Park.

However, it quickly becomes apparent that the ones running the park are trying to enslave the pokémon of PokéPark. The portal leads him to Wish Park, a magic amusement park that will allow him and the others to play forever. Sorry to those who consider him a girl) discovers a portal that fellow Pokémon have been going through. PokéPark 2 begins innocently enough, with Pikachu hanging at the beach, when he (I think of Pikachu as a guy. I shall begin with the plot, which, to be honest, kind of surprised me. Read on and see why I say that with such certainty! But don't take that as a sign that the game is a fail. I've been playing it the last few days, so now I can tell you whether or not PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond will win back those who decried its predecessor or not. Despite this, a sequel was made and is now out.

A Pokémon spin-off, it was met with mixed reviews. In late 2010, a game came out, a game called PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure.
