Pokemon teach computer skills

Posted by Peter Smith on 06-06-20

Kotaku is reporting that the Pokemon will be teaching Japanese children computer skills in Pokemon PC Master. The original source is in Japanese, but a trip to Babel Fish later and we find in the midst of broken English it seems the game will be made up of 10 parts located in a place called P City. Players will be able to gradually learn how to apply soft skill knowledge of IT devices, like keyboard and mouse use. This will be done through mini games such as paint battle and typing battle. All this will be learned for a monthly fee of 1,890 Yen, with the first month being free. Also, all your base are belong to us.
