Play Battle & Get! Pokemon Typing DS (J) Online

Battle & Get! Pokemon Typing DS came out for the Nintendo DS in 2011, developed by Nintendo. It was a late-era DS title that used a physical Bluetooth keyboard peripheral, which felt novel at the time, even if the setup was a little clunky. The game was only released in Japan, so most players outside the region had to import it, adding to its niche appeal.

You play as a typist tasked with catching wild Pokémon by accurately typing their names as they appear on screen. The main goal is to complete various levels by capturing all the Pokémon in each area, which requires quick and precise spelling. Signature mechanics include using the keyboard to type out names under time pressure, with longer or more complex names like "Feraligatr" offering a greater challenge, and exploring different themed stages where Pokémon appear in set patterns. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty ramps up noticeably as you encounter rarer Pokémon with trickier spellings. It feels surprisingly intense for what is essentially a typing tutor wrapped in a Pokémon skin.
