Pokémon Battle & Get

[Badal]

In the grand tradition of such games as Mario Teaches Typing, Nintendo will soon be releasing a Pokemon typing game for the Nintendo DS.

Battle & Get! Pokemon Typing DS is a "typing action" game that will come bundled with a wireless keyboard. From the looks of it, it will also be possible to use the touchscreen, which will prepare children for the day when they begin speed texting (if they're aren't already).

As in other typing games, players will complete a course by typing in various words. Being Pokemon, it looks like battling fits in as well, though not necessarily against other players.

Battle & Get! Pokemon Typing DS will be out in 2011.

Are you excited? I'm interested in it, I hope its compatible with other DS games and I will probably get it when it does come out. Its an interesting idea!

I don't think that I'm very excited for a typing game. I already can type quickly.

 

[Coasting Wingull]

Haha sounds interesting.

I don't think the aim is to type quickly.. It probably is like, where you have to type stuff to catch a Pokémon and not just typing randomly. I find this idea pretty interesting, as finally most of us will get to put our typing skills to some use :expect:

I've never heard of a game where you type for games. All were for learning.

It's marketed as a teaching tool, its meant to teach.

I don't particularly like the idea that the first Pokemon game to touch the 3DS is this one. They could have made this for the DS :/

 

[Badal]

Thats just what one source says, I'm pretty sure Nintendo wouldn't miss up on an opportunity to make a game appealing to many different kinds of people

So you've never heard of Typing of the Dead and its sequels?

It is being made for the DS. What gives you the impression that this is going to be a 3DS game?

To be honest, I highly doubt this will make it outside of Japan. The only use for Western fans that I can see, is that it will could be useful for learning the romanisations of the Pokémon's Japanese names, so that we can communicate better with Japanese fans. I remember when Pokémon Sunday featured World's 2010, whenever a foreign person said a Pokémon's name, the official artwork of that Pokémon appeared in the corner of the screen, so the Japanese viewers knew what Pokémon was being referred to.

Once you have basic knowledge of Japanese, you can read romanisations though, and they are easily available on the internet (I was going to say "But these are the official romanisations" but wasn't Zorua referred to as 'Zorua' in CoroCoro, but 'Zoroa' in this game?).

 

[Mijzelffan]

I'm not excited. It's a typing game. Plus that wireless keyboard already sounds like a bother :/

 

[Ventias]

I'm kind of excited, but I would just like to know exactly what happens to the Pokémon you 'catch'.
Meaning are they able to be transfered to the main games, or do you keep them and train them in that one particular game?

(I was going to say "But these are the official romanisations" but wasn't Zorua referred to as 'Zorua' in CoroCoro, but 'Zoroa' in this game?).

I believe the game uses the English translations from the Japanese games, or maybe Zoroa was possibly an error?

I just skimmed over the news when it was posted on Serebii and misread it.

If this game was brought over to the U.S., they'd obviously change all the Japanese names to the English ones, like they do for every other game. Common sense.

It's highly doubtful these games will be able to communicate to the main series games in any way.
