Talk:E-Reader

Um...what. What is/are the e-reader thing(s)? This does not make it clear to me, and I can't rewrite it if I have no idea what's going on. Anyone have the knowledge/want to rewrite it themselves?GP

It was a "Card Game" like Pokemon cards and you would hook a scanner to a Gameboy and swipe your Pokemon/Pikmin/Etc. and it would give content like sounds and stuff, there was even a Mario Party-E where it would give minigames... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

What does the article mean, 'supposed to unlock' in Pikmin 2? You said Game Boy - was it only for GB games, or was this a whole separate 'game' that linked to the GCN, or what? And it was never implemented, or just never in Pikmin 2?GP

It was only on GB so I figure it was mini-games based on Pikmin 2 for the Gameboy, I'll upload a Pokemon E-Reader picture, m'kay? And it wasn't a game it was a scanner and you swipe the cards and it would temporarily put the data on the E-Reader... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Okay... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

BUMP!!! I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

Ugh. After my holiday.GP

I dunno what you mean by that so... errr... um... yeh... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.

What else could a holiday be? I'll get to it after looking through the rest of the recent changes...GP

The information here may be useful. In short, the article explains that only JP-NTSC Pikmin 2 had e-reader support, and it's got some screenshots and basic info from or regarding each of the small mini-games associated with the Pikmin2 e-reader cards. (Also explains the differences between models in various versions.) vc^TC

Notes about the Japanese in the e-cards

While trying to fix the size info of the enemies as they're listed on the e-cards, I reached conclusions about what the different words mean. Thing is, they're so tiny and vague that it was really hard to understand what the card meant. So before I forget – and because I'm sure this'll be helpful in the future – here's what I have:

• 体長 = length (body length)
• 直径 = diameter
• 脚幅 = leg span
• 高さ = height
• 羽幅 = wing span
• ?丈 = roller length (not quite sure, but similar-looking words mean "cylinder" and "wheel" and such, so it's likely the rollers)
