Pokémon Dash Details - DS

7th January 2005, 2:42pm
Pokémon Dash will debut on the Nintendo DS some time this year. It is a racing game in which you control Pikachu by moving the stylus in the direction he needs to go. There are various ways of completing the course. Lapras will be on hand to take you across the water, and you can fly on a balloon if you can find one.

An exciting connection is made when you insert a Pokemon GBA cartridge into the the second slot on the DS. You can download a Pokémon into the Dash game, and it makes a new course shaped like the Pokémon (think Yoshi in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!). There have also been rumours about a character called 'Munchlax', who is supposedly the pre-evolution of Snorelax (finally!). My guess is that there will be a Munchlax course, from which you can download him onto your GBA game.
