Many people probably want to try out PokeTap, although it really isn’t that *amazing*, so I’m making a quick and dirty “how-to” guide for those of you who want to know how to download it for your American, European, Australian, etc iOS device. One of the biggest requirements is that this game requires iOS 4.3 at minimum, so only the 3rd / 4th generation iPod Touch and iPhone 3GS / 4 will work. I don’t know about iPad.
In order to get a Japanese iTunes account you can follow this handy guide. They say to copy ニコニコ, but instead we’re going to be searching “the pokemon company”. You’ll find ポケモン言えTAP? right away and you can push ‘Get App’ just like the guide does with a different one. Then just fill out the form with some fake info and pay attention to the location and zip code they’ve checked for you. UPD: If you’re having trouble syncing the game to your device, go onto the App store from it and sign out of your usual account and login with your new Japanese one.
Then you can download it and sync it to your device 😀 Easy! There isn’t much Japanese you need to know for this game, but I’ll try to give a quick rundown:
- スタート (Suta-to): Start [the game] # This is what you’ll see on the title screen when playing the game after first downloading it
- かんたん (Kantan): Easy / むずかしい (Muzukashii): Hard # Once you beat the song you’ll be able to choose easy mode or hard mode, the latter has no energy symbols and you must simply follow the song for tapping
- つぎへ (Tsugihe): Next # This is displayed under the “GAME OVER” screen and just means “next”
- かんぺき (Kanpeki): Perfect / いいね (iine): Good / まあまあ (maamaa): So-so # The game rates how many you got that were perfect, good, or so-so on the ranking screen.
- タイトルへ (Taitoruhe): To Title Screen / ランキング (Rankingu): Ranking # On the ranking screen the two buttons on the bottom decide whether to go back to the title screen or go on to ranking screen
- すきなポケモンをえらんでね (Sukina Pokemonwo Erandene): Choose the Pokemon you like
- けってい (Kettei): Decided / スキップ (Sukippu): Skip # After choosing what pokemon you want as an avatar you can choose the decided button or go back to the title screen by pushing skip
The average person will spend more time reading these instructions and installing the game than actually playing the game 😛
**SPOILER FREAKING ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**
In the trailer for Black/White Hero, ash “dies” by falling off of a cliff. In the real movie, Ash is in a castle that is increasing altitude, making it too hard for Ash to breathe. With lower oxygen levels, and the cold of the sky getting to him, Ash begins to die, his tears freezing due to the cold. However, Victini uses V-Create to warm him up and save his life.

What was the point of this post? This update had absolutely nothing to do with the movie….

So you want us also to report when the suns shines?
New games aren’t exactly news, because, you know, we always know new pokemon games are coming.
Seems like PJ likes tapping
Your site has got to be one of the worst sites out there at the moment. It’s been steadily declining for a while now and in my opinion the whole ‘new look’ with the members section put me off visiting this dump. You’re lucky that PokeBeach has been filled with rumours of their dictator leaving, or I would go there. Oh well, at least I can still go to Serebii. And I do.

Haha, well, I just keep this site for fun. If people like it, awesome, if they don’t, there are other options for them. I am however working on a new layout because I do not like this one. :p
