Pokemon Art Academy hits North America in October
Pokemon Art Academy launches on October 24 in North America, digitally and in stores for 3DS. This follows the game's launch on July 4 in Europe. Pokemon Art Academy trains players to be master Pokemon artists, starting with basic shapes and working up to blending, shading, and special lessons in drawing Mega-Evolved Pokemon. Now is when you use your Pokeprowess to tell us which 'mon is the hardest to draw. Ready....go! [Image: Nintendo]
Pokemon Art Academy opens Euro branch in July [Update: NA this fall]
Pokemon Art Academy brings Skitty-sketching to Europe in two months' time, when the 3DS game hits the region's store shelves and eShop on July 4. The game that's putting the art into Articuno provides step-by-step lessons for drawing 40 Pokemon, as tutored by the probably white-coat wearing Professor Andy. To be honest, we don't know if Skitty's one of those 40 - sorry - but Pikachu, Oshawott, Charizard, Fletchling, Fennekin and Torchic definitely are. Maybe Skitty's one of the 100 templates artists can reference in Free Paint mode, and if it's not you can scan in an image of the critter or whatever you so wish using the 3DS camera. And when you're done etching your Fletchlings, you can share your creations via Miiverse. Update: Nintendo confirmed Pokemon Art Academy launches in North America this fall, and it'll be available on the eShop and at physical retailers. [Image: Nintendo]
Gotta draw 'em all in the Pokemon Art Academy, Japan enlists in June
Nintendo's latest crossover is Pokemon Art Academy (alternative name: Farfetch'd A Sketch), a 3DS game that's coming to Japan on June 19. As Gematsu reports, the new Art Academy features detailed lessons for how to draw 40 Pokemon, and templates for over 100 of the critters to use in the Free Paint mode. You'll also be able to share your artistic triumphs on Miiverse. The game's only been announced for Japan, but the Art Academy series traditionally makes its way overseas. Last summer Nintendo brought the Art Academy Sketchpad app to North America and Europe, so there's reason to hope for any of you budding Poke-artists. [Image: Nintendo]
