"The original Pokédex 3D app wasn’t anything particularly mindblowing but it was free and for that, you couldn’t complain. The app allowed you to view all the Pokémon from the then recently released Pokémon Black and White Versions in full 3D (both in the model and pop-out-of-the-screen sense) and view data including moves, Pokédex entries and more. It was basic but it was free. Fast-forward to today however and we have Pokédex 3D Pro, a new version of the previous app (which has been deleted now) containing every Pokémon to date including all of their formes and variations. Unfortunately, this version isn’t free and comes with a stonking £13.49 price tag. Is it worth it?"

As the free Pokédex 3D application retires from the Nintendo eShop, Nintendo dutifully deliver a replacement in the form of the Pokédex 3D Pro.
Whereas the original saw users receiving three Pokémon a day through SpotPass, all content is available from the get go with its successor. Yet, at such a stomach lurching price point, is Pokédex 3D Pro worthy of your cash?

Welcome back to IGN Nintendo's monthly round-up of all the hottest games to hit the 3DS eShop. This month was pretty eventful in terms of great eShop titles, so check out the guide below for an idea of which games you should buy, which you should consider, and which you should avoid at all costs.
Let’s get right to it, shall we?
"3DS owners might remember the release of Pokédex 3D, a free app that was available three months after the launch of Pokémon Black and Pokémon White. Included in the app was all 153 Pokémon from the Black and White series, but with a catch - everyone who downloaded the app was given 16 randomly-picked Pokémon. From then on, they had to download three random Pokémon from SpotPass on a daily basis or trade them with other 3DS owners to be able to complete the set. One of the coolest features of Pokédex 3D was the fact that all the Pokémon included were fully-rendered 3D models, showing off what the 3DS could do to bring those 2D sprites to life. Fans wanted to see more, so Nintendo has followed up with Pokédex 3D Pro, a paid-for app containing all the Pokémon the series has spawned over the years." (darkzero)
