Spin-Off Rumble U CAN read Skylanders figurines

So, this was a funny experiment. Since Skylanders and Pokémon Rumble U both using NFC it was worth a try.
Unfortunately you can't read them at the NFC figure reader menu, but you can read them anytime while you in a fight and Pause the game.
After pause at the bottom left corner there will be an icon that NFC is ready, so just scan a Skylander there, and unpause the game. The scanned figure will turn into a giant Pokémon and come to help you with the fight.
Apparently, you can scan a figure only once into a fight, but you can scan different figures into the same fight.
Every Skylander has its own Pokémon equivalent.
I tried Bouncer, and he turns into a Servine every time.

I wasn't the one who discovered it. It was a player named Michael. He scanned a Terrafin and it turned into a Nidoking.


So far these are the Skylanders' Pokémon identities:
Terrafin - Nidoking
Camo - Cryogonal
Drobot - Nidorina
Stealth Elf - Lanturn
Ignitor - Typhlosion
Bouncer - Servine

Heh. What about other Skylanders? Will he try those?

I don't know. He didn't post more about it, and I also don't have skylander figurines(I bought this one for a friend who lives in a city where they won't sell these kind of things)
I'm pretty curious about how this NFC thing work. Probably there is somekind of string or number what is scans from the figurines. But interesting that the maker of Rumble U let this codes in the game. I think they wanted to make lot more kind of figures for rumble, and keep these Pokemon id-s for NFC number.
Also want to know if this feature works with other NFC figures, like Disney infinity.

Heh, heh, that's funny. If it works with Skylanders toys, I suspect it may work with Disney Infinity toys, too.
