While learning to type using a Nintendo DS console isn’t the first means of learning that would come to mind… Nintendo Australia have today confirmed that Learn With Pokémon: Typing Adventure is set for release in Australia and New Zealand on the 10th January 2013 exclusively for the Nintendo DS. The release as you might be able to tell above, will come with an additional Nintendo Wireless Keyboard.
The game sets you in the role of being the latest member of the Elite Typists’ Club, where your typing skills will be gradually tested to the limit as you attempt to accurately type the names of any Pokémon you come across on your journey to help Professor Quentin Werty and his assistant Paige Down with their research.
Learn With Pokémon: Typing Adventure starts you off gently, with early levels only asking you to type the first letter of a Pokémon’s name before moving you on to much more complicated exercises as your typing skills develop. By typing the name correctly, you will capture each Pokémon in your Typing Ball, allowing your team to research it. As you progress, you will encounter increasingly rare Pokémon, including the likes of Legendary Pokémon Reshiram and Zekrom from Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version.
The game offers lessons on finger placement as well as other tips to improve the accuracy and speed of your typing. Successfully tackle both aspects to build up combos and earn high scores that will improve your overall typist rank. As you progress, you will be able to unlock up to 60 different, challenging levels, go in search of rarer Pokémon to study, and collect up to 180 medals.
The package also includes the Nintendo DS Compact Stand that can be used to position your Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL, Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system as your hands use the keyboard.
