Pokédex 3D Receives Last Update

For all you 3DS owners out there, Pokédex 3D has received it’s last English update today. Coballion, Terrakion, Victini, Reshiram and Zekrom now can be downloaded without the need to scan their respective AR Markers that previously were only available through special means. This update also lets players download Pokémon that they have not unlocked yet, like alternate forms and those requiring trades. In Japan, players will be given until October 1st to complete it before the app will be removed from the eShop, presumably to be replaced by Pokédex 3D Pro. And also it should be noted it’s an in-app update unlike most games or apps on the 3DS.

Getting Back Into The Rhythm Of Things

It’s been a hectic few months at Broken Fuse HQ with commitments outside the site. I know that we’ve posted less material for the past few months due to this and we’re gearing up for a new season and a fresh start in September. Our podcast has been on a bit of a summer hiatus so we’ll be getting it back on air in the next few weeks! Hope everyone’s had a great summer and is gearing up for the end of the games drought and the annual flood of games at Christmas!
