'''Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure''' (Japanese: '''バトル&ゲット！ポケモンタイピングＤＳ''' ''Battle & Get! Pokémon Typing DS'') is an educational typing spin-off of Pokémon developed by [[Genius Sonority]].

The game comes with the Nintendo Wireless Keyboard, a {{wp|Bluetooth}}-enabled keyboard that communicates with the game card, though {{player}}s may also use a keyboard on the touch screen. The Japanese version is sold with two keyboard color choices—black or white. The Japanese version uses a modified {{wp|Keyboard layout#Japanese|JIS standard layout}} {{wp|QWERTY}} keyboard (using no kana), the English version uses a United Kingdom layout QWERTY keyboard, the German version uses a {{wp|QWERTZ}} keyboard, the French version uses an {{wp|AZERTY}} keyboard, and the Italian version uses an Italian layout QWERTY keyboard.<!--Spanish?-->

==Gameplay==
''Pokemon: Typing Adventure'' is an educational typing game in which the player, a new rookie typist, travels through various routes and areas discovering Pokémon, who can be caught by correctly typing their names as they appear. The game is played with an attached keyboard. Its purpose is to teach children to type, but the developers have said older people can enjoy it as well as the levels can get very difficult. A beginner's level is present to teach players the basics of typing, while advanced courses are meant for experienced players. Quiz Courses test the player's Pokémon knowledge. The player is a member of the Elite Typists' Club being helped by Professor Quentin Werty (木内エイジ ''Kiuchi Eiji'') and fellow member Paige Down (青葉キイ ''Aoba Key''), they must collect the Pokémon, some of which are bosses and appear at the end of some levels.

[[Wild Pokémon]] will appear, and the player must correctly type their name to catch them. Multipliers are available if Pokémon names are typed fast enough. At the end of several stages, a boss Pokémon may appear; the bosses are {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Serperior}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, {{p|Zoroark}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Celebi}}, and {{p|Groudon}}. There are also some lesser bosses which are obtained by typing letters that appear on coins throughout the course. These include {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Beheeyem}} and {{p|Emboar}}. There are 63 courses, one for each key on the keyboard (excluding Enter). There are 403 Pokémon available in the game. Each course has its own features and targets required to complete them, as well as three different requirements for bronze, sliver, and gold medals, such as achieving certain point scores, capturing certain Pokémon, getting combos, and not making any typographical errors.

In the Japanese version, the player types Pokémon's names in {{wp|rōmaji}}. Various romanization standards are accepted as input (e.g. ピカチュウ can be typed as "PIKATYUU", "PIKACHUU", or "PIKATIXYUU"). Before a player has researched a Pokémon, the game defaults to {{wp|Nihon-shiki romanization}}s, modified so that {{wp|Yōon}} variants of ジ are romanized as ''j'' instead of ''zy'', and additional romanizations added for {{wp|tokushuon}} that are not covered by Nihon-shiki. If the player has researched the Pokémon before, its name will use the romanization method the player typed the last time they researched it.

==Story==
A new rookie typist, controlled by the player, meets [[Paige Down]] of the [[Elite Typists' Club]], and takes on the role of the newest member of the Elite Typists' Club, which investigates where Pokémon inhabit by typing their names on a keyboard to capture them in a Typing Ball, a special type of [[Poké Ball]]. With the player's help, the Elite Typists' Club manages to reach new areas they have never been before, and together with Key and her friend Professor [[Quentin Werty]], they investigate 403 different kinds of Pokémon, including, eventually, Reshiram and Zekrom, to test their typing skills and gather medals to become Master Typists.
