DS Misc > Using the pokemon game keyboard for apps ?

Well... I recently found out that there is this one pokemon game:

It's aim is to teach children to learn typing.

Since it seems to use some periperial to connect to the Slot 2 I wondered:

Is there any homebrew that utilizes this yet ?

It would seem like a neat addon for DSORganize (Remember... DSOrganize is open-source:

Anyone knowing anything ?

Thanks in advance for a reply.

Slot-2 would mean it wouldn't work with 3DS or DSi, so I don't think it uses a slot2 peripheral. I thought it was a nice-looking bluetooth keyboard with the other bluetooth radio in the actual Pokémon Typing DS cartridge.

Yes, it wouldn't be working with the 3DS, DSi etc., however, there are still enough DS Phats and Lites around, right ?
