PokéPark Fishing Contest DS (Japanese: ポケパーク釣(つ)り大会(たいかい)DS(ディーエス) PokéPark Fishing Contest DS or ポケモン釣(つ)り大会(たいかい)DS(ディーエス) Pokémon Fishing Contest DS) was a fishing mini-game that was only available via DS Download Play. It was first made available in Japan on May 16, 2005, and in Taiwan on June 23, 2006. As it was only obtainable via DS Download Play, it disappeared after shutting down the Nintendo DS system, and had a 12-hour time limit.

Downloading

In Japan, PokéPark Fishing Contest DS was first made available for download at PokéPark 2005 from May 16, 2005 to August 31, 2005.[1][2][3] It was later made available for download as Pokémon Fishing Contest DS at Pokémon Centers from July 17 to August 31, 2005,[4][5] and at Pokémon Festa 2005 from July 17 to August 21, 2005.[6] In Pokémon Centers, the distribution machines also displayed the high score list.

In Taiwan, a Traditional Chinese version of PokéPark Fishing Contest DS was made available for download at PokéPark 2006 from June 23 to September 24, 2006.[7][8]

Gameplay

The game is set on a river flowing into the sea. After a certain amount of time, the area that the player is in changes. In every area there are several different Pokémon to catch.

On the top screen there is a water area, with shadows of underwater Pokémon occasionally visible. The floater also moves back and forth until the A button is pressed (or the touch screen is tapped), at which point it is cast into the water. Once the floater is pulled underwater, the player must immediately press the A Button repeatedly.

Caught Pokémon are displayed on the touch screen, while their score is displayed on the top screen. The score is determined by three factors: size, level, and rarity. If the total score of all five caught Pokémon ranks in the top 50 scores, it will be sent to the master high score list, and can then be viewed on the Pokémon Fishing Contest DS machines in Pokémon Centers.

The player can store up to five Pokémon in the game, but all data other than the high score sent to the server is lost upon shutting down the Nintendo DS system, as the game is only temporary.
