A new spin-off *game* for the Nintendo 3DS has recently been announced called ‘Pokémon Art Academy’. It features lessons on how to draw different Pokémon utilizing the touchscreen, although I can imagine someone using the non-XL/LL version may find the experience a bit cramped. There are different brush styles as well for more unique drawings. There are over 100 Pokémon included as far as instructions go. Drawings can be sent to friends via Miiverse as well. The game will be released in Japan on June 19 and retail for ¥3,619 (about $35 USD or 25 euros).
What do you think?!

I absolutely love this *o* this is going to be a cool spin off being able to draw your favorite Pokémon just makes it even better.I’ve been practicing the past few months on drawing some and this game very well could help 😀 can’t wait to see more 🙂
This sounds like a great game. It’s always to to expand one’s artistic skills!
It’s a bit… pricey. And this thing will be way better on a tablet because of a larger screen.
Nintendo, please either make an iOS version, or make your own tablet happen! (Knowing Nintendo’s strategy, none of these are likely to happen, but I can dream!) XD
I know. $35 for this??
I have some new Fakemon and a quesntion. So, this guy on dA, his name’s Kyeato-Region has watched me, and he faves my stuff and all, but whenever I’m thinking of changing the way I do things, he’s always really blunt and just says no. “you should finish all ten then put them into one page” “i dont like the painr splosh on the back” I’m wondering whether or not to block him.
Oh, and the fakemon.
Can I ask what program you use? Like do you draw, scan then use the program or directly on the program (I fear I’ve used the word program too many times now it sounds weird….program)
I was about to ask the same thing XD but I saw the comment and thought just wait x3
I alternate between Photoshop CS6 and Paint Tool SAI.
Nice Fakemon! What’s dA?

Oh, okay.
Thanks!
Hmmm…I was always going to buy Art Academy but never did, hopefully if this comes to the UK I might (wait for a price drop tho)
You still could order an American version, it would be in the same language.
Unless I’m missing something, 3DS games are region locked. So that wouldn’t work for Reece!
I bought a louvre game in England that worked with my 3ds.
Like Moving said, I believe tis region locked
….. now im sad i missed the tournament sign up </3
also
ive just been told that smogon banned my trusted partner, Chocobo the charizard Y?
-flips tables- officially putting in the ear plugs now. never turning back
Aha, fear not! You’ll have a chance later today, sort of…
wait, tournament registration chances? sounds neat!
Soon! There are actually 2 spots left for actual competitors. Plus another 10 for stand-ins. So… yeah!
Awesome-sauce!
also ive heard that smogon banned my trusted partner, chocobo the charizard Y..?
-flips table- time to officially plug in the ear plugs and never turn back.
In OU?
bah who cares. Use whatever you like xD
The suspect test for Char x&y for OU…. was an April Fools.
Yeaaaa, it was my friend trolling me without saying it’s false >..> But after lots of mega bans, I wouldn’t be surprised if they found a reason to ban him lol;
Smogon. There’s your answer. 😉
I never liked smogon.
Since when….lol.
I’m actually willing to pay that much money! I love drawing so much!
Oh and it would be cool if there was an online mode where you could have an art contest with your friends, and then one of the people has to decide which is best.
$35 dollars?? Uhm, no. I’d only be willing to pay $5 if I was even interested.
The Miiverse drawing thing does the job for me.. Even though this is like waaaaay superior. Doubt I’ll use it all that much anyways haha
35 bucks? Is Outrageous!

$35 dollars for drawing Pokemon? Seems fun but I’m butts at drawing.
I think that’s the point, to learn ^^
Yeah, but, it probably wouldn’t be profitable time-wise for me.
Well if you don’t intend to learn or draw you may not need this game then. Save the $35 and just learn at your own time with tutorials on the internet, works too!
Want this game so bad! It looks so cool!
Ok ignore that writing(no seriously, it’s totally not important) and tell me what you think of the belly coloration?
Refresh :3
It’s a bit pixilated because disqus does that to me :(((
OH and I need to straighten out them patterns on his belly, they was rushed a bit during the blue print
Pretty good!
I may love drawing but.. why not just draw on some paper or computer..? I think flipnote was more worthy for stuff like this cause it includes animating, being able to transfer files, and a much lower price.
Is mobile chat broken? D: nothing is loading on my screen for it
I think Colors! 3D is better, way more affordable, and in 3D! I have it and it’s actually really good 😀
Hey, moving you here? I need to ask you something.
