Pokémon Art Academy, the 3DS game that teaches you to draw Pikachu and other creatures from the popular series, will launch on October 24, Nintendo announced today.

The game, already available in Japan and Europe, was announced back in May. It will be available at launch in stores and through the Nintendo eShop for $40.

In Pokémon Art Academy, you can take part in 40 different lessons that teach you how to illustrate characters like Pikachu, Charizard, Oshawott, Fletchling, and Torchic, among others. When you’re finished, you can share your creations through Miiverse or save your work to an SD card and print it out.
