Spin Off Pokemon Art Academy

[ErixSan]

I don't have more information yet, but his new retail game for the 3DS XL would be another new Pokémon crossover. And it's for draw them.

I will start doing some investigation so I would be able to publish a full article.

UPDATE:

So, what is already confirmed for this game?

• The release date will be on June 19th on Japan
• The game price will be 3,619 yen (around $35 dollars)
• There is no 3D effect on this game.
• There is over 40 lessons.
• You can use the camera to draw.
• There is a free drawing mode.
• You can make cards and an album.
• Miiverse compatible

No words about a western release yet, but we can easily know it will cost $30 once it’s here.

Also a cover of the game has been leaked:

Well that was unexpected.

I expect this to go the way of Pokémon Typing DS and Pokémon Tretta Lab. It ain't coming West.

 

[D4rkDragon]

That's also unexpected.
They should have made a Pokémon Picross instead (wait, there was already some in Picross NP 1). At least, I'll be able to improve (in some way) what I'm planning to do on Miiverse: Drawing ! (Yep, the screen doesn't give you the same feeling as paper, I can't focus on it !)

Not confirmed yet, but at least we can know what price it can have.

I hope that it gets released to the West, I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy it ! And maybe it would help the ones (like me), who have trouble drawing on the screen.

I didn't say it was confirmed, I was just saying based on other spinoffs of this nature it's unlikely.

Also, 30$ for a game with only 40 lessons based on one series seems a little steep.

Maybe it will be cheaper to buy on Amazon, a few days after its release ? I know (at least) in Europe, that it's cheaper to buy from them.

I know, I was just telling you

Mmm... Maybe $20 dollars but I suppose Nintendo would prefer to do a eShop release only instead,

This. This game looks like it was MADE for an eShop release.

I can't see them giving this a retail version and not Battle Trozei.

Well, if there's a retail version, I'll be getting it through Amazon, I don't like that much Nintendo's bad 1:1 currency system, so I'd prefer paying 20€ (= 30$) than 30€ (=40$) instead. But if it's an eShop only game, then, I'll have to get a cheap eShop card on the Internet.

I wouldn't wait for the NoE to do a promotion. Since I am not at good at drawing (on the 3DS), that would be a chance for me to improve my drawings on Miiverse. Also, you can post what you draw on Miiverse, so more people would use it, maybe?

if pokemon art academy is easy i might do it

I mean i dont see many people buying this actually, especially in eshop, this will be pretty cheap compared to other pokemon games, miiverse actually makes sense in this if it did not have this feature who would buy it anyway :?

 

[dominiquet]

so will pokemon art academy come out any where else or just japan?

People seeking to improve their drawing skills ? I mean that's why the Art Academy series was made...

 

[ErixSan]

what is pokemon art academy

It's an Art Academy game based on Pokémon.

if pokemon art academy is easy i might do it

I don't know, but it's made for learning, so it must be easy to play.

A lot of people like to draw on their free time, and this is the perfect way to do it if you don't have access to paper.

Thanks, you also found what I wanted to say and another reason of why I want to buy the game! I have access to paper, but I always forget to draw...

With the Update that Erixsan confirmed, I'm definitely hoping it's coming to the West. We (might) also have some hope, since Nintendo has been planning to port some games that were Japan-Only to the West (Tomodachi Life, etc...).
