Story/Information:

Players run through a variety of courses such as forests and water levels and can encounter Zorua and Pikachu as well as 400 other Pokémon like Victini. The game is a touch typing tutor which utilizes Pokémon to make the learning experience a lot more enjoyable. Children can work towards the goal of being able to touch type but also have fun with many of the new 5th Generation Pokémon. However, the game is not just targeted at kids as adults will also find the game challenging even for those that already have good typing skills.
