Nintendo Announce Pokémon Dream Radar And Pokédex 3D Pro For The 3DS eShop, Release New Unova Map

The Map above is Unova from Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2. interestingly, under the ice you can just make out landmarks which leads me to suspect that the ice may recede later in the game.


 Nintendo have announced Pokédex 3D Pro for the 3DS. it will be an upgrade option for those who have the original free Pokédex 3D app on the 3DS. this Pro version includes over 600 Pokémon, indepth sorting, and comprehensive details on what abilities each Pokémon can learn. all known Pokémon are unlocked from the start. This app will be coming to the eShop, but no release date or price was announced.


Nintendo also announced Pokémon Dream Radar, another eShop Pokémon App coming later to the 3DS. This AR game lets you catch Pokémon around you that can then be transferred into Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2. the Radar will include some rare hard to get Pokémon. Nintendo haven't revealed a price yet for Pokémon Dream Radar.
