Pokédex 3D, featuring all of the new Pokémon from the recent Pokémon Black and White games, will allow users to look up information about more than 150 Pokémon and their moves, all for free. It will make use of SpotPass and Augmented Reality.
Players start with 16 Pokémon and can unlock the remaining Pokédex entries by scanning QR Codes, using SpotPass (up to three random Pokémon a day), or by trading data with friends, likely via StreetPass.
Users will be able to view each Pokémon in 3D, and rotate them a full 360 degrees. The Pokédex features filters and bookmarking capabilities as well.
The app will use the 3DS' built-in Augmented Reality capabilities to display Pokémon in pictures taken via the 3DS Camera.

Hmm, since it doesn't say, I guess not all of the Pokemon are in the app? At least not yet?
Still, quite nice for a freebie. I was worried that this needed to be bought when I read the headline.
This is pretty cool. Too bad that's it only B&W Pokémon or I would instantly buy this.
I hope they do something so you can view other generations of Pokemon.B&W is free to get you hooked. Then you have to buy Per Game Expansion packs to get the rest. This will lead to a tie in to Stadium 3DS which will only allow you to use Pokemon you have in your 3DS Pokedex. Which will also lead to an AR Snap title which will only allow you to capture Pokemon in your 3DS Pokedex. It would print money.
