Before the Pokédex 3D Pro came the free Pokédex 3D, released on June 7, 2011 in Europe on the 3DS eShop. Limited to the fifth generation, it was removed from the European eShop on October 1st, 2012. Here is how it worked, according to Poképédia.
Completing your Pokédex
At the start, only sixteen Pokémon are available: the three Unova starter lines, from Snivy to Samurott, plus Audino, Scraggy, Minccino, Emolga, Foongus, Axew and Hydreigon. The others arrive:
- through SpotPass, at random, up to three per day;
- through local trading with friends;
- by scanning AR Markers: Victini, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Reshiram and Zekrom can only be obtained this way.
Keldeo, Meloetta and Genesect are not programmed into the Pokédex 3D.
The features
Movable 3D view with attack animation, entries (height, weight, Egg Group, Ability, evolutions, moves), an augmented reality photo shoot, a sticker album and favorites. The Pokédex 3D is available in six languages, including French.
