Pokémon Battrio Update

The Japanese toy manufacturer, Tomy, has a created a new Pokemon arcade game called "Pokémon Battrio".

Pokemon Battrio is similar to Pokémon Battle Revolution, but will feature cell shaded graphics and 3-on-3 battling by using poker chip like discs. The arcade game will use a sensor to pick up the data from the discs and show the Pokemon on the arcade's screen where players can battle it out. There will be 36 different Pokémon available when it will be launched, but more will be added on later on. Players can arrange the different Pokemon in different formations, which is an important aspect of the game play. Players can battle against another player, or can play a single player mode against a CPU opponent.

Pokémon Battrio will be available in Japan in July 2007, and will cost 100 Yen per play (which converted in US currency, is about 83 cents).
