Considering that App is short for Application, and programs are commonly called Applications, I think calling it an App is perfectly fine.

^This. Beat me to the punch. I was going to make the same point. Oh well.

I always figured it would be unthinkable to create a main entry in the pokemon series using 3d models instead of sprites, but if they can create 700 or so (including alternate forms) 3d models for a cheap little app, I guess it wouldn't be impossible for them to do 3d models for Gen 6. (Even though I still can't imagine gamefreak ever ditching sprites.)
@ Ryan Colby Mendenhall- That's sound logic, but I remember hearing that Apple had copyrighted "app", like how Microsoft has "achievements" copyrighted for their fake victories system. Could be wrong about that though, as there are definitely Android "apps".
Also, "app" still feels like it might be the wrong word for these two eShop titles, as the AR one involves some game-like activities (catching Pokemon), while neither have any practical application to real life, making them both feel very "game-y".
Maybe we need a word for a combination of "apps" and "games". "Gapps" maybe? "Ames"?

I still can't believe an expanded Pokedex app is going to cost $15. Nintendo's insane to price it that high.
If the Pokedex 3D Pro comes with all (or most) of the Pokemon without having to do any sort of dumb code scanning or whatever, I'll get it.
For that price I expect to be able to access it mid-game. Otherwise it becomes kind of pointless.
I know DS games don't have in-app functionality, but couldn't they make an exception for B&W2?

Looking forward to AR Searcher. I enjoyed Face Raiders and the AR Games that came bundled with the system, and an extra way to get Pokemon that isn't expensive (like buying two games) or annoying to deal with (looking at you, Pokemon Dream World) sounds alright to me.
Though it DOES honestly bother me that they would go through the trouble of developing over 650 models for two small apps and then have B/W2 come out on the DS. If you can have the DS game communicate with a 3DS app, then you certainly can design a 3DS game to communicate with a DS game. Oh well...I just hope the next real Pokemon game is on the 3DS.

A full 3D Pokédex sounds awesome, but for that price? No thanks, I'll just endlessly stare at sprites in my White Dex.
Almost 20 bucks for a Pokedex app? I might have spent 10 or 15 for an old strategy guide back in the day, but at least I could use it while playing the game.
Oh God, what if they release a red Pokedex edition 3DS? Shit, I said it out loud!

I'm okay with the AR one not being free, but it feels like the new Pokedex should be. I know they need to be paid for development time and all, but it feels like we're being asked subtly to pay for the development of a real 3D Pokeman, considering they'd have to have made all those monsters 3D for that any way.
