The game is a touch typing tutor which utilizes Pokémon to make the learning experience a lot more enjoyable. Children can work towards the goal of being able to touch type but also have fun with many of the new 5th Generation Pokémon. However, the game is not just targeted at kids as adults will also find the game challenging even for those that already have good typing skills.

The game comes with a Bluetooth compliant keyboard and the ROM cart for Battle & Get! Pokémon Typing DS also has a built-in Bluetooth communication chip to allow the Nintendo DS to wirelessly communicate with the keyboard. Nintendo will not guarantee compatibility with other devices other than the Nintendo DS but the in-house prototype of the keyboard can connect to the iPhone and Android devices.

Also announced was the fact that new Pokémon 3DS and Wii games are in development but no further details were revealed.
