Pokemon Demo

Software development firm Saltmine Creative Inc. is developing an online demonstration of Wizards of the Coast's Pokemon trading-card game, based on the video-gaming phenomenon. The demo won't be an interactive version of the game, but rather a demonstration of how to play the trading-card game in face-to-face, person-to-person, real-life mode. The demo will feature a multimedia presentation including a walk-through of the game, complete with representations of trading-card gameplay. Gamers will play against the computer, which will provide explanations of gameplay and hints on how to better your score.

Wizards of the Coast released the trading-card game on Jan. 6 and says it has already gone through three print runs.
