Two Pokémon Apps Bound for eShop in the West

Pokedex Pro better not cost $15.

@Square-enixFan I sure hope not.

I'll get Pokedex Pro if it's priced right.

I'll only get the AR game if it has exclusive Pokemons or something else to offer. If it doesn't, I'm not getting either.

Hmm, what if people who register Black/White 2 within 28 days of it's release get the free upgrade? Could happen.

My son turns 10 Sept 17. Even if Pro is $15 he's going to get it. I spent this morning online looking up TM #s for him. FYI 95 is the highest Unova TM#. I think he has about half of them memorized. What he REALLY wants though is Ruby and/or Sapphire. Nintendo needs to put them on DSiWare or virtual console or something. I'm guessing there are a lot of kids at this point w/ DSi who haven't got a chance to play those old games yet but would really like to.
My 7 yr. old son likes Pokemon as well but he also likes Faceraiders so I'm thinking he'll be in for Pokemon Dream Radar. He hasn't played Black or White yet, only Pearl, so I told him to hold out for 2.

I was never concerned that they wouldn't come out in the west. What does concern me is pricing.

@19Robb92
It has a new form for Tornados, Thunderos, and Landorus, with boosted stats in Def, Sp Def, and Speed; Sp Attack; and Attack, respectably.

sweet now i need to memorize more stats, evos, moves,and names. man this is going to be fun!!

plz add me plz guys 0989-2434-6025

I can see one of these being a Pokemon Black 2 / White 2 pre-order bonus. Otherwise, I would get Pokedex 3D Pro if its priced right.

You should go to the forums TinyMario, you'll get plenty more responses there.

@TinyMario If you want people to add you to your 3DS use the Online Gaming forum which has dedicated topics for 3DS friend codes and Mario Kart 7. Please stop posting your friend code in news stories.

I'm going to get Dream Raiders for sure and I'll get Pokedex Pro if it is priced well.

Also, let's just call it what it is, POKEMON SNAP 2!

I read on the offical nintendo magazine website that pokedex 3D pro cost £11.60 which i think for app is stupid!!! it may help you with the new pokemon game on DS but no way is worth £11. 60. Its more tool then actual game i think nintendo know that because its got pokemon in name it sell like hot cakes so more money for them!!

I see a very bright future for Pokemon fans on the 3DS!

I'm still not sure about Black/White 2. I think that Pokemon Dream Gear should allow us to port the games to the future 3DS Pokemon games.

If they aren't as expensive as Japan's, then I'll most likely get them. But honestly, why not just make DLC for the original Pokedex app?

I hope the AR Searcher isn't too much. Don't know about Pokdex 3D Pro though. Depends on how much it is.

@rjejr
Kinda scares me to think that Ruby and Sapphire are considered old now. Where did all the time go? I played that game for over a thousand hours; played it until the battery died and the clock wouldn't work anymore and played it until the cartridge itself finally died and would no longer boot up.

I don't see why people think $15 is a crazy price, lol. Actually buying the Pokedex book is $20, so you're actually getting a discount. Not to mention this has awesome AR features.

This is just more proof that GameFreak is sitting on top of 400+ fully modeled 3D Pokes with animations and doing nothing with them but releasing silly apps instead teasing us with a killer Wii U title. I'll probably end up buying Pro anyway.

@Koto

Ditto (no pun intended.) Same thing happened to me with the Dodrio Gameboy on Pokemon Silver/Pokemon Stadium 2. I also spent hours collecting ash in the soot sack on Route 113 on my copy of Sapphire while trying to catch Skarmory. Collecting the flutes was fun too. Generation III will always be one of my personal favorites along with that Route for various reasons.

Not that I'd want this but £11.60 is a massive rip-off! Even at half that price, it would be a rip-off as all you can do is look at Pokemon and their stats.

I'd buy it if it was for Digimon and not Pokémon. I'm not that big a Pokéfan to warrant paying $15 for it.

I might get Pokedex Pro for $5 or less. Any more than that, I refuse simply on the principle that it is horribly overpriced. Honestly, it should be FREE with the purchase of Black or White 2.

Dream Radar sounds pretty cool though.

As for Black and White 2... still not sold on the idea, it seems to hardly add anything to the previous titles. I mean, a new town? A couple new Pokemon (that are hardly a stretch from a previous one)? I think I heard there's a couple new Gym Leaders, but that's hardly anything either. This is more lazy than titles like Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, and Platinum; yes, I guess in a sense it's the same, but they are having two instead of one (the benefit was always that you didn't have to have the story split), and usually the third title had a decent number of updates... honestly, Black and White were not that great (series has steadily gone downhill after Generation II), and at this point, the follow ups can't even distract me from the fact that Nintendo is simply milking the same cow repeatedly.

Was there any doubt?

@Onett Well, Creatures Inc (which was involved with the creation of Pokemon and sort of stil are when it comes to the main games) made Pokedex 3D, so who knows. Maybe Creatures is mkaing 3D models for Gamefreak to use in a 3DS game? Just maybe...

Awww yeah! Looking foward to these!

Currently I'm more interested in the AR game

Well, finally, a GOOD portable complete Pokedex.

More top tier franchises on the eShop please! Even if they're spin off titles, it's a start. It'll help to make the eShop start to feel like a proper place to go for Nintendo games.

@rjejr Old games? you could buy it from amazon for $20 used for no problem, but for something like red or blue ...... >.<

Now, for GameFreak to release Pokemon: Red, Blue (Green in Japan), Yellow, Silver, Gold, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald (and FireRed and LeafGreen) on the eShop. But, to make it better they should have it so each game goes into an app specially made for that generation (Ex: Red, Blue (Green in Japan), and Yellow in one app: Pokemon:Generation I). They would also have it so that you can choose which ones you want to play and have different save files for each (or, if you wanted, copy your data (Ex: copy your Silver data to your Crystal data). Lastly, there should be a thing which allows you to still use the connectivity with your own downloaded game or others, like Four Swords, but you could also connect with yourself (Ex: Battle your Ruby against your neighbor's Emerald or trade with your Sapphire to your unopened Ruby).

Give it to people for free and they will definitely want to buy Poke'mon Black and White 2.

That Dream Radar sounds like the closest we will get to a new Pokémon Snap, at least on 3DS. With the added benefit of increasing your game's dex.

The sad thing is that I can see them overpricing both downloads just because they have Pokémon in the name. While also making DS owners upgrade to the 3D system.

And I still need a whole list of catchable Pokémon in each of these new sequels in order to give them my money.

According to Serebii.net, the Dream Radar is more like Black & White 2's version of the Dream World, where you can play minigames to aquire Pokémon not available on the actual cartridge.

@samuelduh BUYING the games isn't the problem, playing them on the 3DS is. I'm not buying a DS to play GBA games.

"3D models and statistics of the 600+ Pokémon discovered by Pokémon professors so far" does this mean 3D Eevee?!?!?!?? I will buy this day 1 no matter what the price!!! eevee ftw

Really looking forward to both of these
I was thinking the Pokedex Pro would still have the fun of collecting them, and I thought initially it was rumored the Dream Radar would transfer them over, but I guess that's moot now. Its still fun just looking at all of them.

I'm on the fence about B/W 2, I didn't play B/W and havn't had the time to complete a Pokemon game for a couple iterations. Hopefully someone will make an article about if you should pick up B/W first to play the second one or just skip to it once more info is available. Is the Dream Radar going to be somewhat pointless if you're not getting B/W 2? They seem to really be pushing them together. I guess this is also their incentive for people to get a 3DS since they didn't move up with the actual game.

I still really hope Denpa Ningen will come out :<
