It’s April 2nd which means we can conclusively tell you: there is no such thing as Pokémon Dash Mobile (…that we know of). Moving and I decided to go for unexplored territory by creating a mock-up of a new mobile game which poked fun at Nintendo and Pokémon’s recent embrace of F2P. You can take a look at the presentation I made below. Honestly spent too much time deciding how I wanted to design it and then creating filler text for the rest of the slides:
The funny thing is, Shuffle fans actually took great interest in the slide which featured it and claimed that a two-player battle mode was coming soon. Sorry 🙁 You may also be wondering what the game images came from, because those are real. They’re from PokéPark 2 which I didn’t see anyone recognize. Not too surprising considering it is an overlooked title aimed at younger gamers.
What was your favorite April Fools’ Day prank on the web this year? Or in real life. Or one that you pulled off 😉

FEATURED DISCUSSION: What Are You Listening To?
I don’t think anyone is too upset
Well that’s good. The fakes were really good. I still want S&M news.
Wow! Since I was passively looking at the pictures before, I thought they were actually real! Good job, that was pretty impressive.
I really wanted this Pokemon to be real.
I’m not really feeling the discount Bonsly in the bottom right. Or the pink bird next to it. Or the ant next to that. The bull looks ok. The discount Seadra looks ok too. And the discount Buizel is… ok I guess. I do like the trainer though, she’s kind of cute.
These look like digimon to me. I don’t really like them. They don’t match the art style of pokemon either.
Those Pokemon are really ugly. :/
Wow. Good job. Those were pretty good fakes.
Meh. I don’t even think anyone cared tbh. If you did Ranger or a port of an old game, I think the prank would have been better. We fell for it, but didn’t care.
Totally correct I think lol
At least Pokemon knows what games to make fun of. Shows that they aren’t too keen on Dash either.
