The Pokemon Company has announced that it’s bringing the Pokédex to iOS devices in Japan. The full, official Pokédex will contain all the 3D character models and animations available in the 3DS eShop’s Pokédex 3D Pro. The application is coming to Japan on November 16th, and will be available for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. There’s no word on a Western release at present.
Told you nintendo would surrender to mobile domination!
Can’t beat them? Join them!
Told who? lol?
Nah,Nintendo realize that Mobile needed Pokemon after the 100th Pokemon Knockoff.
Nintendo aint surrendering to Apple or anyone else dumbass, they want additional cash.
It’s hardly like that! This is merely an app released by The Pokemon Company!
This is not Nintendo releasing a main-stream Zelda or Mario title onto another platform! They have by no means surrendered, Nintendo will continue to operate as a Console manufacturer.
Nintendo owns 66 percent of gamefreak. Majority my friend
That is quite right my friend! But Game Freak and The Pokemon Company both operate as separate companies. I think that we can all come to the decision that you were well and truly wrong on this one! And as the majority states, you were wrong!
Exacly is like the pokemon traiding card game for pc
thank you tell people this is not the first time
you mean pokemon company
The Idea of Pokemon was presented to Nintendo.
Miyamoto work on Red and Blue alongside the creators.
There Nintendo owns them.
Except this isn’t the first time that an official Pokemon app has hit iOS.
Naturally, as it’s such a big deal for companion apps to hit the app store, you should already be aware of that….
Those pokedex apps on iOS devices are not officials made by The Pokemon Company.
They are made by people in other countries just for idiots who don’t know thr difference pay for the app.
One of those apps pops up on the App Store time and time again after its taken down under different names and everytime it has an asking price that keeps going up, last I saw it it was at 5.99
Yeah I know about the fake ones, but I’m referring to an official one that was released last year…
this is not the first nor the last time official pokemon stuff have been on other systems
Its a Pokedex
Now everybody will be jealous of my Pokemon Swag.Watch out world,Cause…..I’M GONNA CATCH’EM ALL!!!
Traitors!
It’s a pokedex you idiot. Do you know what it is?
not the first time the was a beep app last year
was bound to happen
Pokemon Yellow anyone?
It’s not like they released a game. It’s just a Pokedex. People can use it while playing their DS, since the DS and 3DS have limited multi-tasking.
Makes sense. A profitable compromise that maintains control over the IP.
Please it is not a game. There have been pc stuff and other ios stuff. The pokemon company are just doing what they do best merchandising. thats there job toys, arcade name it
Official Pokemon related games/”apps” have been on the internet since i was 10.
It’s out now on the Japanese iTunes store for about $2 American/Canadian. Don’t know if I should get this on my 3DS or iPod.
I’d say go for the iPod one so you can have it side-by-side while actually playing Pokemon on your 3DS.
The 3DS has all pokemon when you buy it. I read on serebii that the iOS version only has the Unova pokemon the other generations have to be bought separately :T but for convenience I would get the iOS version since its difficult to use my 3DS version while playing the game. I would have to save and turn off the game to use the app and that just sucks.
by the time pokemon gets a 3ds game, they might have an update that allows for two applications to be open at once, so that you wouldnt have to save and turn off every time. but thats just a maybe, and iOS would still be more convenient.
Well I have the Japanese version of white 2 and a Japanese 3ds so I am thinking about getting it on my NA 3DS.
Quite surprising really. This isnt a “sign” of Nintendo going software only or any dumb shit like that, but its still surprising
that’s surprising. i never would have thought an official one would ever come to iOS. but it’ll probably be quite nice. i’ve had an unofficial pokedex app for a while, but it ended up getting removed from the app store for legal reasons. i’ll probably end up getting this new one, if there is a western release. or hopefully this will cause pokedex 3d pro to have a price drop, because $15 is just ridiculous.
please let us know if it ever releases in the west, as it is expected and very much appreciated.
Nintendo simply owns majority part of the Pokemon company, therefore the other part can do whatever.
This sounds pretty cool, I hope they can have it on Android systems eventually, though.
The western release must be soon since in the Japanese app store, all the screen shots are in English.
