Here's a question not being asked: when did Nintendo allow for its IP to be used outside of their platform(s)? Is this just an extension of the animated show or is it an extension of the game? From the way this works, it looks like this is the answer to their current sales woes? April Fool's joke or not, but it is quite impressive to see Nintendo's IP being used for a game of sorts outside of their own hardware.

I'm a bit surprised Nintendo hasn't released their own pokemon app for iOS/Android. Though I guess they're seen as a competitor to the DS these days...

  They do have an official Pokedex app for iOS, but it is pretty awful and has some absolutely ridiculous in-app purchases. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pokedex-for-ios/id573135437?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pokedex-for-ios/id573135437?...

  Probably that; port the Nintendo games to a non-Nintendo platform and nobody will buy Nintendo platforms anymore. I'm pretty sure Nintendo's hardly ever released any of its IP outside of its own platforms.

    Are people still buying Nintendo platforms anyway?

      They have sold more than 40 million 3DS units.

One of my friends made ‘iPokédex’ for iOS, but had to take it down… http://www.timoliver.com.au/2011/07/21/on-ipokedex-getting-pulled/ http://www.timoliver.com.au/2011/07/21/on-ipokedex-getting-p... http://www.timoliver.com.au/2011/11/01/laying-ipokedex-to-rest/ http://www.timoliver.com.au/2011/11/01/laying-ipokedex-to-re...
