A few readers have written in to ask how the Pocket Pogo games will be able to transfer the tokens and badges they earn to their Pogo accounts. We’re not entirely sure, and even the FAQ is a little fuzzy (at least on how we’ll be able to transfer tokens, if at all), but we do know that the badges (a.k.a. “in-game awards”) will have a code associated with them that you’ll be able to enter.
(For what it’s worth, we tried to register using that registration number up there, and it came back with an error. Don’t bother trying it for yourself. *smirk*)
At this point we still don’t know if the advertised “earn tokens” means you’ll get tokens for just registering the device or you’ll also be able to earn tokens by playing the games. We also don’t know if the badges you’ll earn as “in-game awards” will count toward your badge total or if they’re just a separate entity confined to the Pocket section of your profile. Time will tell!
If you’re interested in owning one (or a few, or all) of these handhelds, we’ve paired up with Entertainment Earth and they’ve got all of the handhelds — both touchscreen and not — available for you to pre-order. (Reminder: the touchscreen versions are the only ones that have the “earn badges and tokens” feature.)
