Nintendo reported their third straight loss to investors, and it seems as though they may be willing to seek new ways to make profit.
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo’s president, said he would continue to run the company and added, “We are thinking about a new business structure. Given the expansion of smart devices, we are naturally studying how smart devices can be used to grow the game-player business. It’s not as simple as enabling Mario to move on a smartphone.”
As iOS and Android devices have gained market traction and improved hardware, they’ve been seen as direct competitors to Nintendo’s handheld consoles. Mobile gaming applications often cost only a couple of dollars, much less than traditional handheld games.
The Pokémon Company has released some apps for mobile devices, including their 3D Pokédex and a Japan-exclusive simple rhythm game which tied into the trading card game, but they have never released other games.
We’ll have to watch Nintendo’s strategies closely. Would you like to see Mario, Zelda or Pokémon on your phone or tablet?

Not the new updated gen 6 cries
Licki Cyrus…don’t tell me whether or not to multitask. XD
GG!
GG! 😀 I really thought you had it!
GG! I Should have kept Mamoswine alive. 😛
Yup! That would’ve done it XD
Has anyone seen a Themed Pokémon Team?
Like:
Wild Cats- Pyroar, Luxray
Counter Parts- Meostics, Shellos
Bears- Ursaring, Beartic
And so on and so forth. .. Would be So Cool!
=]
I was planing on doing a Luxray + Pyroar! :O
Can’t forget about Persian 😀
I always wanted to make one, mine would have been monkeys though
(Aipom, Simisage,simisear,simipour, primate) stuff like that 😛
and Slaking? 😛
yes, I knew I was forgetting one 😛 thanks
Infernape 😀
that works too 😛 Man, now I feel more and more like making a themed team
Turtles
Blastoise
Torkoal
Carracosta
Torterra
Not enough turtles, eh? What if expanded the caterogy a bit to reptiles? (excluding the dinosaurs)
Kecleon
Sceptile
Heliolisk
Krookodile
Feraligatr
Charizard
Seviper
Serperior
Arbok
:OOOOOO a safari/Africa themed one! Pyroar + Zebstrika + umm +…????
Donphan, maybe?
Pyroar
Zebstrika
Girafarig
Hippowdon
Mienfoo
Donphan
Maybe one of the snakes: Seviper / Arbok / Serperior
EDIT: More animals…
Liepard
Emboar
Mightyena
Mandibuzz
One of the monkeys listed below
Prehistoric Pokemon teams would also be cool
The only actual themed teams I’ve fought before (besides Mono-types) were Eevee teams with Baton Pass.
Electric mice: Raichu, Plusle, Minun, Emolga, Dedenne, Pachirisu
A Regional bird team!
Pidgeot
Noctowl
Swellow
Staraptor
Unfezant
Talonflame
Stealth Rock would be a nightmare though
Is anyone up for a battle? My team isn’t finished yet but I’ve got some pokemon I can use.
Sure! Lemme finish the one I’m in o3o
Okay, I’m not sure if I have your FC. Mine is 4442-0012-5862 and my ign is Caleb.
3995-6834-9421 I think

Lol thanks! XD
GG! 😀
GG! It was fun!
It was! It’s always fun getting to battle new people and see new strategies! 😀
Yeah. I can’t wait to finish my team.
Which ones are on your team? :3
Everything but Tyrantrum right now. I’ve got to train one more poke and then fix up the move-sets.
Really? I would’ve thought that Tyrantrum WAS on your team. It was hard to tell which ones weren’t XD
Lol no, that tyrant rum was on my team during my play through. XD
shiny hunting + leftover hunting wish me luck:p
What happens if you catch a Pokémon and have no room in your PC or party?
You can’t catch it… It’ll say if you try to throw a PokeBall that you don’t have any room in your PC
oh 😛
It even worked on Reshiram and Zekrom last gen XD
Tweet tweet.
they dissapear:O
Is anyone else here exited for Kirby Triple Deluxe? If so, it just came out in Japan!
Contests should come back for Gen VII along with the Trick House!
And maybe the PWT, Emerald Battle Frontier, and similar concept to the White Forest/Black Skyscraper in B2/W2!
I would LOVE the PWT! that was my favorite thing in Gen V!
I found that White Forest thing (cannot remember the name for the life of me! DX) to be very satisfying in battles and how overleved a became XD
Battling Cynthia made me soooooo over leveled XD
I only battled her once, to keep the tension the first time I battled her. I’m a little crazy towards specificity in Pokemon games XD
If anyone’s here, wanna battle? I’ve been kind of addicted to battling lately! XD
when i find my leftovers i will battle you:P
Ok! 😀
idk what happened Carbinkle :/
i was so close to win what you think about my team?
It’s a great team! That Tyranitar and Scolipede O_O
and be greatful that tyranitar doesnt have the mega stone yet;) lol but goodgame other wise, i would switch garchomp to rotom btw
haha ya! 😀 What did you think of my team? You met them all except for Houdini
houdini the zoroark? nice team thanks god i set up spikes and stealth rock cause that megakhan and you let me set up very easily you should have switch when infestion ended
Ya the Zoroark
Ya I guess I should’ve switched :/ But otherwise it was a great battle! 😀
