3DS


With official backing from Nintendo, Marvelous AQL created “Pokemon Tretta” for the Japanese arcades. It has players collecting different “Tretta” – take a look above for some examples.

What exactly is Pokemon Tretta, you ask? In it, players scan different Tretta into the machine, call out the appropriate Pokemon, and then engage in a 3-on-3 battle. Those who win receive new Tretta.

Pokemon Tretta is now making its way to the 3DS. Marvelous AQL has been put in charge of the project once again. Each copy will come with a Tretta reader device.

Pokémon Tretta Lab for 3DS is due out on August 10th for 3,800 yen.
