Pokemon Rumble World

The 4th Pokemon Rumble game will be coming to the 3DS on April 8th as a free to play game.



It looks decent. Though it should have also been on the Wii U.


- free to play
- recover your Pokemon using PokeDiamond
- these can be found in game, earned via StreetPass or purchased via the in-game store
- spend PokeDiamonds to get to various new areas in the game
- features over 700 Pokemon including Primal Groudon & Primal Kyogre
- 3,000 PokeDiamonds for 4800 Yen
- select an area by using a special hot air balloon, which costs a variety of Jewels
- get a roulette of several stages to pick
- sometimes stages are visited by rare Pokemon and this is indicated by stars on the roulette
- collect more Pokemon and your adventure rank increases
- this means more wild Pokemon start to appear
- when using a balloon, you have to wait for it to re-inflate before you can use it again
- you can also use PokeDiamonds to speed it up
- spend PokeDiamonds to get various bonuses
- bonuses include an increase in the amount of Pokemon you can have and boosts in strength
- StreetPass for a special mission where you have to protect their Mii from a wild Pokemon attack
- they will appear in stages and give you a bonus
- bonuses include Attack Support, which boosts Attack, Defense Support which boosts Defense, Speed Support which boosts your Pokémon's Speed and Recovery Support which will heal you

It should've been on Wii U, but I guess it's fine on 3DS. Either way, it doesn't look good, and neither do any of the other games in the series. But it'll sell well because it's Pokemon.

Pokemon Rumble World will Rumble store shelves in Japan on November 19th.

I don't really seen the point of this when we already have the free to play version.

North America will be getting the retail release on April 29th.

I couldn't care less about it, but I figured maybe some of you would be interested! This seems like a very strange game to get a retail release being that it's free to play, but I guess it could work. I've never liked the Pokemon Rumble games anyway though.

The last 3DS game was retail as while and if you get the retail game you don't have to worry about paying ever again.

A retail version sounds strange but it could work. Are the in-game purchases removed from that version? I don't see a reason for someone to buy the physical copy if it doesn't. The digital version is free to play after all.

In-game purchases are removed in the digital version once you buy 3000 diamonds. This game makes you start with the 3000 shop items. So my guess is that there is no diamond shop.
