Pokedex 3D

[cris92x]

One of the first apps available at the eShop launch will let users view more than 150 Pokémon in 3D.

Pokédex 3D, featuring all of the new Pokémon from the recent Pokémon Black and White games, will allow users to look up information about more than 150 Pokémon and their moves, all for free. It will make use of SpotPass and Augmented Reality.

Players start with 16 Pokémon and can unlock the remaining Pokédex entries by scanning QR Codes, using SpotPass (up to three random Pokémon a day), or by trading data with friends, likely via StreetPass.

Users will be able to view each Pokémon in 3D, and rotate them a full 360 degrees. The Pokédex features filters and bookmarking capabilities as well.

The app will use the 3DS' built-in Augmented Reality capabilities to display Pokémon in pictures taken via the 3DS Camera.

Check out some pictures of the Pokédex in action below.

So I guess nintendo is going to have free aps and expand on AR for FREE. Its so awesome, every pokemon fan's dream. All nintendo needs to do is announce a pokemon for 3ds and it will print money.

Free is free - and it's a pretty cool free app. I'll download it. And I really do love the AR games and such, so I can't wait to see what these guys look like with AR.

Doesn't look half bad for something that's free (and thus costs bandwidth with no direct monetary return).

Maybe this is why Pokédex apps on the Android and iTunes markets were removed.

Free + AR + Spotpasss + Streetpass = Nice move Nintendo.

 

[shakirmoledina]

they are keeping the momentum rolling with the eshop. They could have put this earlier but since its free, its never a bad thing.

Smart move Nintendo

This sounds cool. I wonder if the starting 16 Pokemon are random.

Great! I was a great poké-fan, but haven't played black/white yet because I had to do a lot for school. But oh man, I will download this right away when 3DS Shop launches!

Thank you Nintendo!!!! You are making my life better!!!! Full of adventure!

 

[Nebz]

It's nothing too big but yet it's still something of interest... and free. I love it!

A sign of things to come? Heres to hoping for a Pokemon Stadium/Colosseum game for the 3DS

 

[rockstar99]

Over 150?
SO we dont get all the 600+ pokemon

 

[8BitWalugi]

That's kinda nice, but relatively pointless when you've caught 'em all.

 

[Paarish]

I don't see a reason NOT to download it. Free app is free

This is sooo coool. I just want to look at the pokemons in 3d xD. i hope nintendo finds a way to us AR without those cards.i rarely carry them around and when i want to use AR i dont have it with me. the NGP doing AR without a card is pretty awesome.

 

[heartgold]

wow that's sick. Do you think they'll update the dex with spotpass or release another app for other generations?

I believe you need to pay for reality fighters... It's a full game using AR.

The others i'm not sure. I hope some AR for the NGP is free as well.

But it's really a smart move of Nintendo, promoting free AR (or rather included in the $250 'package')

Thtas the new Pokemon Game?? ....Oh well at least we know that the 3D Models of Gen5 have been finished. Btw it will be only of Gen5?
