Nintendo has started to promote Battle & Get! Pokemon Typing DS over in Japan with a new trailer and TV ad campaign.
The neat little software lets Japanese folk learn to read and scribble down English words... like Pikachu and Mumma. The more you type, the more Pokémon are caught, with word combos increasing the chances of nabbing those rarer critters.
The game is also the first to be compatible with the DS bluetooth keyboard for easier input and for players to try and get used to the English QWERTY setup.
