Not because I don't like the games, I love them. But because it always SOUNDS so much more convoluted then it is in practice.
Thanks for the news though, Dale. I for one didn't know much about it.

Pokedex 3D Pro, new Pokemon Black/White Ver. 2 features
Say goodbye to the free Pokedex 3D as it will be removed from the 3DS eShop on October 1. Don't freak out just yet, as it will be replaced come November 8th. Its replacement, Pokedex 3D Pro, has new info on more than 640 Pokemon, and it also features a quiz game on the pocket monsters called Pokemon Challenge. With this new app, you'll be properly armed for Pokemon Black Version 2 and White Version 2. Speaking of those, Nintendo unveiled some new features for the upcoming DS games, launching this October 7th. A new area called Join Avenue will be populated by anyone that a player has tagged previously, through trading, battles or otherwise. Rare items will be sold by these players in this area, with the most rare items coming from the most populated Join Avenue areas. A connectivity feature called Memory Link lets you connect your Version 2 game with a previously played Version 1 game. Players will be able to catch up on the what happened to some of the characters over the two year gap between the games' stories. This feature will require two systems from the DS or 3DS family, or at least an internet link to a sync'd (Pokemon Global Link) copy of a Version 1 game. Catching 'em all sounds like more work than ever these days! Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I don't know why, but every time anyone talks about bridging between two pokemon games, my brain takes a huge siesta.
Not because I don't like the games, I love them. But because it always SOUNDS so much more convoluted then it is in practice. Thanks for the news though, Dale. I for one didn't know much about it. I really just want a system that can transfer over every Pokemon I have in the previous game. Having to manually move over 600 of them through something like PokeTransfer minigame in B&W just gets incredibly tedious, and will only continue to do so as they keep adding more pokemon. This app is around 20 bucks on the Japanese eshop, yeah? Seems like a ridiculous asking price. I wonder how much they're going to price this thing in NA 7:00 PM on 06.19.2013 Two more Sega titles getting the 3D treatment on 3DSSega's marine mammal simulator extraordinaire, Ecco the Dolphin, is coming to the Japanese 3D eShop next week alongside arcade classic Galaxy Force II.
