First 3DS Pokemon Game: PokeDex 3D

The first Pokemon 3DS game has been revealed: PokeDex 3D, a free 3DSWare game which will be available through the Nintendo eShop when it opens this Monday, June 6th. The “game,” which is more or less a basic PokeDex app, allows you to view fully rotatable 3D models of all officially revealed Black and White Pokemon along with their general information, PokeDex entries, and movepools. You will also be able to use the 3DS’ built-in Augmented Reality to superimpose the Pokemon models into photos you take with your 3DS camera. Click the thumbnails below for larger screenshots of the game.

When you first download the application, you will only be able to look up information on 16 Pokemon. The rest of the PokeDex entries can be unlocked by scanning QR Codes, using StreetPass (when your 3DS passes by someone else’s 3DS and they trade data), or by using SpotPass (when your 3DS downloads information when connected to Wi-Fi; you will only be able to download three random PokeDex entries per day through this method).
