They've infected our REAL life, it's Agent Smith, RUNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!
First up is an AR Game that will be released via the eShop on June 23rd in Japan for $300 (about $4). It’s called “Pokemon AR Searcher”. In this little AR Game (Alternate Reality, games that use the 3DS two cameras to make it appear that you are interacting with a game character in the real world) you simply use the 3DS camera to look around the room and spot Pokemon hidden in your environment. They will appear as shadows or silhouettes. You will then need to point your 3DS at them and capture them by shooting a beam of light at the Pokemon.
Now you can keep great tabs on ALL your Pokemon!
It’s not known if there is more to it than that, I would assume there is. But any Pokemon that you capture this way can then be transferred to Pokemon Black and White 2 for your DS. Nintendo says this will be a great way to catch some rare Pokemon in an easy manner. It’s not know if you will be able to tell what Pokemon you will capture by the shape of its silhouette, and it’s also not known exactly WHAT Pokemon, the bird Pokemon, appears in that Pokemon AR Searcher screenshot. Seems like it may be a new one.
In addition to Pokemon AR Searcher, Nintendo announced an upgraded version of “Pokedex 3D”! Except, this one won’t be free, you’ll have to pay for it. It comes out in Japan on July 14th and cost ¥1,500 or about $18 (Yikes…, the American version may be cheaper than that though. Let’s hope). The big deal here is that the Pokedex has been COMPLETELY updated to contain EVERY.SINGLE.POKEMON. That’s right, not just the Unova Pokemon but every Pokemon. Obviously, this will make Pokemon fans extremely happy.
Here is the initial gameplay trailer for Pokemon Black & White 2.
