And in so doing, it ends up creating a software package that may not be a game in a traditional sense, but is ultimately very highly recommended for people with any interest in drawing and image editing, or for enterprising young artists, who will find learning to draw their favorite Pokemon a good enough guise to actually learn the ropes of something a whole lot more complicated. In the supreme irony, the Nintendo 3DS, which is hardware that has often felt to directly hinder and contradict the nevertheless amazing variety of games that are available on it, seems to enable Pokemon Art Academy, which is essentially a non-game, a lot.
The fundamental question one must ask when one buys Pokemon Art Academy is, is it even a video game? And that would be a very good question- though it features characters from Nintendo’s popular Pokemon franchise, and definitely features some gamey elements, it is very hard to shake off the feeling that this is essentially a very full featured and powerful drawing and editing suite wrapped up in a Pokemon skin to appeal to an audience that otherwise wouldn’t be interested in coughing up the cash for what is basically a drawing instruction software.Īnd while that sentiment would be right, there is something curiously alluring about Pokemon Art Academy- something that transcends just the charm of seeing a little Pikachu that you drew up yourself come to life on the screen, something that somehow makes you feel empowered as you draw away some extremely detailed and intricate images, using a very powerful suite of image editing tools.
