Tips for Pokémon Dream Radar



Pokémon Dream Radar is a new companion app that launched alongside Pokémon Black Version 2 and White Version 2 on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. The final purpose of the game is to capture the Therian Forms of the Kami Trio: Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus. 


You do this by scanning your surroundings with the 3DS camera and shooting the Dream Clouds you find around you in the Interdream Zone, where Pokémon live. You can transfer any Pokémon or items found here to your copy of Pokémon Black Version 2 or White Version 2. The game costs $2,99 and you can find more info here. Or you can take a picture of the following QR Code with your Nintendo 3DS.


Let's check the tips!

Tip Nº 1: Catch the Dream Clouds in the right moment. And do the combo!



Dream Clouds float around you peacefully and change size with a noticeable pattern, what you need to do is catch them at the moment they are the biggest, that way when you shoot them, you can get four or five Dream Orbs at once. When you do this, after shooting the last Orb you will get 3 more as a bonus, but now you must be fast, the Orbs will stay alive only the exact amount of time you need to catch'em, your movements need to be quick and precise, if you do it right you can get up to fifteen extra Dream Orbs.

Tip Nº 2: Upgrades!



The game presents 3 upgrades for your visor: Beam, Energy and Scope. The last one is the one you need to focus on, this upgrade increases the amount of Dream Clouds you can find at once in increments of five, and since you start with only 10 Dream Orbs, you will need this a lot. Besides every increment gives you one more chance to catch a Pokémon or get an item because you get one extra black cloud (that contains Pokémon) every time. 
The other upgrades are not necessary at all; the Beam upgrade gives you more power to catch Pokémon, you can do fine with only one upgrade, you will have enough time to catch the Pokémon even with a low-level beam; the Energy upgrade gives you more time to catch the Pokémon, here I recommend no more than one upgrade, even for the special Pokémon you will have more than enough time to catch them.

Tip Nº 3: Support items!



When you have trouble (sometimes double) sometimes you will need something extra to help you catch the Pokémon (and find in disappointment that the thing so hard to catch was a Revive) and here is where the Support Items come into play, you have three available: Vortex Charge, Dragnet Charge and Energy Recharge, each costing 100, 50 and 50 Dream Clouds respectively, for one use. The Items are placed in the touchscreen and you just tap them when you are catching a Pokémon in order to use them.
There is only one Item that works: Vortex Charge, this one holds the Pokémon in place so you can shoot them with your capture beam more easily. With a couple of these, even the Legendaries will be a matter of keeping the A button pressed long enough. The Dragnet charge slows down a Pokémon, but why would you want that, when you can hold them in place? And the Energy Recharge just restores some energy used to catch a Pokémon, the energy being the time you have left to catch it, you could have trouble with that because some of the hard-to-catch Pokémon shoot you and take some time away, but again, you have more than enough time to catch, even with that.


That's all for now people. I hope that my Tips help you catch the Legendary Kami Trio, and as a last little tip, after capturing Landorus try putting some of the other DS Pokémon games...

Random Gaming Trivia: Foxdark22.

Hello, this is a thing I found and I decided to make one for myself

1. Very first video game.

 

Console: Super Mario World; Arcade: Rally X (It's the first one I remember)

2. Your favorite character


I was gonna say Fox McCloud, but Falco Lombardi takes the prize, his ability to be a dick even when he is being saved by someone is amazing, but, in the end, you know that he cares about the people he ''hates''.


3. A game that is underrated.


Vanquish. Vastly overlooked for being ''too generic'', it's one heck of a fun game. Probably my favorite ''pure'' 3rd person shooter.


4. Your guilty pleasure game.


Band Hero. As much as I like the music/rhythm games, Band Hero has a very distinctive set-list and man, you can hate the Spice Girls as much as you want, but Wannabe is one catchy tune.


5. Game character you feel you are most like (or
wish you were).


Falco Lombardi. Again. I said that he is a dick but he cares about his friends, a lot. That is pretty much me.


6. Most annoying character.


Fi. From TLOZ SS. GO DIE IN A FIRE! I think everyone has complained a lot about her/it so I will too. If you pick a key she will tell you that there's 89% probability that the key goes in a nearby door. YOU DON'T SAY! But she loses annoyance points for being a hawt robot thing. HEHE.


7. Favorite game couple.

Link and Zelda. Because he goes through all the trouble to rescue her. And that's pretty much the ultimate fantasy: Kicking tons of ass to finally get some ''thanks''.


8. Best soundtrack.


Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It has a collection of all the awesome Nintendo music plus great Sonic and Metal Gear music. Just awesome.


9. Saddest game scene.



Metroid Other M / Super Metroid. When Mother Brain kills the Baby Metroid that comes to help Samus.


10. Best gameplay.


I don't have a favorite but the Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock engine it's almost perfect.


11. Gaming system of choice.


Wii. I love the games on the system plus I don't need the SNES or NES to play the classics.

12. A game everyone should play.


Rhythm Heaven Fever. A game so happy and colorful.

13. A game you’ve played more than five
times.


Resident Evil 4.






StarFox 64.


14. Current (or most recent) gaming wallpaper.



15. Post a screenshot from the game you’re
playing right now. 




16. Game with the best cut scenes.


Resident Evil 4. It was a very close decision between this and Super Smash Bros. Brawl but in the end, Ada Wong moved my wang... sorry...

17. Favorite antagonist.


Can't let you do that Star Fox!


18. Favorite protagonist.


 

Samus Aran from METROID PRIME. Link from TLOZ TP. Judy Nails from GH.


19. Picture of a game setting you wish you lived in. 



20. Favorite genre.



I play everything and from every genre, but I have to say that Rhythm/Music games have given me the most satisfaction.


21. Game with the best story.

The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. I love it.


22. A game sequel which disappointed you.


Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 Wii. Nothing changed from 2011, almost nothing from 2010. Gosh, I have played it so little, and I got it on launch.


23. Game you think had the best graphics or art
style.




The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. It might not have the best graphics, but the art style is great.


24. Favorite classic game.


If I need to tell you the name of the game, then I will take your gamer card away.

25. A game you plan on playing.



Assassin’s Creed III... ON WII U BIATCHES! Also CoD Black Ops 2 because I loved Blops 1.


26. Best voice acting.


Assassin's Creed II. I dunno, I guess I don't hear the games enough to give an expert opinion and I really like most voice acting here.


27. Most epic scene ever.



The great invasion in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I get the chills everytime I see it. The most awesome pilots in the universe join forces for the first time to KICK SOME ACE!


28. Favorite game developer.


Why? Because of the stellar job they made with the Wii versions of Guitar Hero. Also count Treyarch for the great Wii Call of Duty games and, of course, Nintendo my favorite developer since I was a child.

29. A game you thought you wouldn’t like,
but ended up loving.



When I played it FPS' weren't as big as now and I was kinda reluctant to play them, but this game had something in it that made me love it. It's in my Top 3 of N64 games.


30. Your favorite game of all time.



 

The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask, probably without competition. Also I want to mention International Superstar Soccer Deluxe, THE BEST FOOTBALL GAME EVER. I used to play that game so much on my SNES. And in current gen I will say Alan Wake.




That's my stuff. I hope you enjoyed and stick around for more awesomeness... coming soon...
