Nintendo has reveled one of the first apps for the Nintendo 3DS eShop. This app titled Pokédex 3D will allow you to view all 150+ Pokémon that appear in Black/White.

Function wise, it is essentially a "deluxe" Pokédex and shows a fully rotatable 3D model of the Pokémon. You start off with 16 Pokémon and can aquire more through QR Codes, SpotPass, or trading with others. In addition, it can also be used with the 3DS's cameras to add the Pokémon into your pictures much like the Augmented Reality cards. And the best part, this app will be free!

Free?

I was expecting to pay once I read the first two sentences. And I would have.
The models in the screenshots look really nice and detailed - reminiscent of PokéPark Wii's ones. Too bad it's only Unova Pokémon, I'd really like a whole Pokédex that I could take around with me!

This is AWESOME.

I WANT THAT!

A 3D free Pokédex? Do want! I'll be sure to pick it up when I get a 3DS.

Edit: Wait, that's a REAL Pokédex, with move levels and all! Now it actually has a use!

This is pretty cool. This gives me another reason to look forward to the eShop release! Free stuff is sometimes the best kind of stuff.

Beautiful, I hear the eShop update will be on June 6 for US and I am pumped from this ;-;

And it being free makes it THAT much more certain to get ~

The font reminds me of Zelda: Windwaker. If I ever get a 3DS, you can be sure this will be one of my downloads.

This looks cool, but it's probably going to be a while before I get a Nintendo Points card anywa-OMG FREE!? I love you Nintendo.

But when's the eShop launch? This and Link's Awakening DX are the two apps I'm looking forward to the most right now

Can someone tell me when the eShop will come out? Not only am I excited for this, but the virtual console games, which Nintendo finally put in after the stupid DSi shop.

Yay for me not paying attention.

If I ever get a 3DS, this is gonna be the first thing I get from the eShop.

Well, apparently, Japan and Europe get this on the 7th, we get it on the 6th. We get something first for once

This maybe be like Picture Dojo for the DSi, just free for a little while then switch to you must buy.

its nice to see the new unova pokemon in 3d before they get into a game in there 3d forms.

Man, this makes me want the 3DS even more. This'll definitely be my first eShop download.

Also, I think this shows that the handheld Pokemon games are becoming more and more like the console games, as this is I think the first time a 3D Pokemon model has hit a handheld system.

Wow. For once we beat Japan and euorope at somthing! That also looks sorta cool.

That is really cool! Im going to the VGCs so if I win and get that 3DS then I will definatly download this Pokedex!

Good news everyone!

Eshop's open, just opened at what I'd estimate to be 10PM California. Totally downloaded this <3

I got all the starters and evolutions, making nine.

Then I've got...
Audino
Axew
Emolga
Foongus (ew)
Hydreigon
Minccino
Scraggy

EDIT: Kay yes, everyone starts the same. Serebii's already got the hammer on the screw:
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex3d/pokedex.shtml and http://www.serebii.net/pokedex3d/obtain.shtml

Got it today, it's terrible. I wasn't aware that you collect Pokemon through street pass? Would rather an actual Pokedex, I don't like the menu's ether. Overall i feel it's pretty useless, it does looks very nice in 3D though.

And here I was expecting an ACTUAL, Pokedex app. Thanks for crushing my hopes, Game Freak.

I got:

Snivy
Servine
Serperior
Oshawott
Dewott
Samurott
Tepig
Pignite
Emboar
Audino
Axew
Emolga
Foongus
Hydreigon
Minccino
Scraggy

So I'm going to have to walk all around town until i pass by 600+ people that also have this app?

Greeattt...

For everyone who wasn't expecting there to be only 16 Pokemon at download:

Uh... You can get up to 3 Pokemon a day via SpotPass, and then there are QR codes.

Besides, knowing the internet, there'll be people posting QR codes on some pretty database or something.

Not to mention there's nothing wrong with scavanging for other 3DSers with Pokemon you don't have... :c

edit: woops, missed this whole new page, Lite beat me to it

Still it's a terrible Pokedex, what's up with the Bar stats? Horrible and will defiantly turn off Street pass and silly notifications.

How is it terrible? It is great if you need help with Moves certain Pokemon learn. And I see no problem with the stats, other than it not giving an exact number, but then it would have to label it for each level, and it isn't like it knows what IV and EV you choose.

I am curious if it will have more than unova

The Pokédex looks really detailed and cool, and I didn't expect them to offer it for free. However, it's of no use over here since not many people have a 3DS. So yeah, even if I bought a 3DS and downloaded the Pokédex, it's going to be more or less useless for me. =/
