(1) ‘Pokedex 3D Pro’ Release Date for North America [8/1]
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
Even though the original Pokedex 3D is free and the Pro one isn't? That kinda sucks...
Ah, at least Pokedex 3D Pro has a lot to do. I tinkered with my friend's (which translates flawlessly into English) and it's got plenty of things to do. (For $15, it had better.)
Unova Dex vs National Dex, plus the Pro version has all Pokemon automatically in it from the start. Oh, and there are some fun quizzes in it too!
Another reason to buy the 3DS. It is kind of disappointing you have to buy it, especially because the original was free, but it sounds worth it anyway.
15 bucks is quite a lot for just an "app" on your 3DS. Not sure If I'm going to buy it, the original was decent for a free price but It had, besides the 3D moving Pokés, not much to offer. Just don't see the point of it as long you can't run it at the same time of your Pokémon game.
To be perfectly honest with you I was pretty skeptical about the $15 price tag also. However, a friend of mine at league with his Japanese 3DS showed me his, and I can say it is a rather handy resource.daoneandonly said:
In my case, I do not always have immediate access to a computer/the Internet, and it helps to have a mobile Pokemon resource around with me. (I do have a rather interesting collection of strategy guides that I use for this purpose, but I don't have one for any Gen 5 stuff.) At least for me it'd be worth it, since when I play DS and making moveset ideas I am usually not around a computer.
It does have a lot of goodies, such as lightning quizzes, the entire Pokedex (up to Meloetta and including alternate forms) available immediately, voices pronouncing the Pokemon's names (in all 6 languages that it comes in, no less), and the 3D models. The 3D models are one of my favorite parts, especially when I need to know how to draw a Pokemon and get everything proportionally accurate.
So, if you think it's worth it after me mentioning everything I just said, go for it. If not, then don't. It's no big loss either way.
Well, since I do have a smartphone that's always in my pocket (note that my 3DS is not) and I can't figure out any situation where I'd get out my 3DS instead of my phone. That said, I happen to have the BW Prima guides. Two nonetheless, which one of them is a full Pokédex the other being the walkthrough. I can say that I'm well informed whenever I need to be about the Pokémon stuff.Deus: Nightmare Autarch said:
However I do like the part of the quizzes, the updatable Pokédex and especially the spoken names part. That sounds awesome, since some (BW) names are really weird to pronounce, especially when English isn't your native language. Also getting into drawing lately and the 3D models are really usefull.
Thanks for your view on the Dex, at least it has gotten some of my interest. I do have one question to you though. Would consider it a game or an app? Because I'm seeing this mainly as an app, and I've never seen an app for any platform that expensive. However should it be a game, than it's a reasonable price.
Based on what I've seen of it, I would consider it an app, not a full-on game.
The main reason I didn't get the guides is because they look like phonebooks now. I'd much rather have a source that's easy to carry around, and 3D Pro could be exactly that for me...plus it's got other goodies. Basically, it'd be like buying an inexpensive strategy guide that gives you stuff to do.
Yeah that's true. But there's a lot more in there than just a Pokédex. Not sure which would win content-wise, but the fact that the 3DS app is updatable makes it better just by that.Deus: Nightmare Autarch said:
While It's cheaper than the Pokédex book, I still think it's overpriced for just an app. Especially since Pokémon is targeted towards kids.
I do think I'm getting it at some point, but that doesn't take away the fact the app is expensive.

Ooh, really? So a Meloetta reveal within 3 months, probably? Neat.
Why would I pay $15 for an app when I can go around the internet and find all that same info.
If the games saved automatically, I'd really like this app for the convenience factor. I could press the home button on my 3DS, check out my Pokedex for info on this strange, new Pokemon, then go back to my game. But that's just not meant to be.

This just isn't worth the money. Maybe it should come free with the purchase of BW2
Can't wait for this, and it's right in my price range too. I hope the Dream Radar is under 5 bucks so I can use just one 3ds pre paid card. I was hoping the release woul be closer to the game release like Jap. was.
