The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

Pokemon Rumble Blast, the first Pokemon game created exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS system, is an action-packed Pokemon adventure in 3D! Battle against waves of opponents, connect and play with friends, and collect more than 600 different Toy Pokemon! As you advance through each stage in Pokemon Rumble Blast, your Toy Pokemon will face dozens of Pokemon at once in fast and furious real-time battles! You'll also run into giant Boss Pokemon, whose massive size and strength will make them especially tough to defeat and who can become powerful allies if you're lucky!
