Nintendo's mysterious 3D Pokémon game is a detective adventure

[wraggster]

Nintendo's unannounced 3D Pokémon game has been revealed as a detective adventure which stars Pikachu as your sidekick.The as-yet untitled release is being designed for 3DS but may not see light of day until 2015, a report on Japanese TV revealed today (thanks, Serebii (http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml)).Previously-shown images suggested that Pikachu could creepily copy your facial expressions (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-10-22-nintendo-teases-pokemon-3ds-game-where-pikachu-copies-your-facial-expressions), but these were actually a demonstration of the mo-cap technology used in the game's development that will allow the character to speak.A special-coloured blue Pikachu will also feature in the game, possibly as its antagonist.Nintendo has yet to officially unveil the game, which has only come to light due to a Japanese TV special on Pokémon Company boss Tsunekaz Ishihar.The report showed new screenshots that demonstrated the game's first-person viewpoint, where a player holding a magnifying glass is able to identify clues in a 3D environment.http://images.eurogamer.net/2013/articles//a/1/6/2/7/8/9/7/eurogamer-aqq2br.jpg/EG11/resize/600x-1/quality/80
