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?

After you two are done trading, I’d like to trade with you too please. I have something to give you that we mentioned yesterday.
😀 thanks! may I ask what you want in return?
I’m all good with legendaries. Do you have regular Bank Pokémon?
Don’t have any banks apart from starters 🙁
That’s fine. Have you been breeding your starters? If so, then I’ll take one of them. If not, then I’ll take anything you have.

It has been discovered that in the last couple of months Nintendo, Gamefreak and Creatures Inc have filled a couple of trademarks, these were:
“Pokkén” (ポッ拳) – Register March, 2012
“Pokkén Fighters” and ”Pokkén Tournament” – Register August 20, 2013
“Battle Simulator” (バトルシミュレーター) and “Card Gyms” (カードジ) – Register December 10th, 2013
“PokéTouch” (ポケタッ) – Filled November 14th, 2013 and Published December 14th, 2013.
“Phantom Gate” (ファントムゲート) – Register January 14th, 2014
phantom gate :O
mystery dungeon i bet
Nice thinking, it certainly sounds plausible.
Phantom gate? new mystery dungeon? i hope so. the last one was really underwhelming compared to the gen 4 ones.
Hopefully if it is a new Mystery Dungeon, then it can be comparable to Blue/Time/Darkness/Sky.
I really missed the friend zones from Red/Blue rescue team. Made it more fun for me.
i loved friend zones 😀
and the plot lines
i hope they bring back actually playing as the pokemon in towns and stuff. It was so cool being able to fly around as zapdos in treasure town (or what ever it was called)
yep reasure town was one of them
im really not a fan of them
It’s possible that it could also be the firs Ranger game for the 3DS.
Who knows, maybe it could have a plot where gates take you to certain places where Pokemon can only be found there etc.
shadows of almia Phantom Gate same theme
does 1 foreign pokemon make a masuda?
one foreign works if the other is from adifferent region
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Don’t mention it. always nice to help someone out. :3
If you ever want a pokemon ill get it for you!
Shiny Scizor is so cool~
Only took 355 eggs.
with or without shiny charm?
Which is why I’m Masudaing one. :3 it reminds me of a Sprite can.
Mega Shiny Scizor is even cooler
I haven’t used mine online in a long time
Mega Scizor is so awkward looking. It looks like it focused on claw days instead of both claw and leg days.
it looks like one of those things you close bags of chips with.
XD I never thought about that.
that bullet punch takes a nice chunk out of anything though!!
OMG yes. FluffyDragagle and I were on showdown and we both had one. His took out my team with ease.
Anybody knows where this is from
“I, who stand in the full light of the heavens, command thee, who opens the gates of hell. Come forth, divine lightning! This ends now! Indignation!
I know I’ve heard that somewhere. an anime maybe?
yep its from a video game thats also an anime
tales of the abyss
I like that Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: The Phantom Gate
or Pokemon Ranger: Phantom Gate
Giratina as a major villain?
darkrai/yveltal?
maybe giratina or yveltal cause darkrai already made an appearance as a main bad guy in sky/time/darkness
imagine primal xerneas/yveltal or primal giratina
HOOPA
if i recall doesn’t hoopa have a move that opens dimension portals? I can’t really see is being a major villain though
Yep! Hyperspace Hole is what it’s called, I believe.
Gates to infinity sequel were its all about quagsire.
@Lelouch Vi Britannia:disqus ready!

but these kalos pokemon would be a nice touch to the game
I hope not. god that game was disappointing.
i mean they should us more kalos
i didnt even consider buying it
I didn’t either that demo was all I needed to see what kind of game it was
How do you get Level 3 O Powers?
use the o power a lot not give
use them 30 times
Use them over and over
Just use O-Powers a lot and they’ll level up.
Don’t they go away?
Mother Nature is having an emotional breakdown.
That time of the month?
Pokemon MD logic: Caves and Forests have Staircases
It’s better than Sonic The Hedgehog Logic. FRIGGIN’ SPRINGS AND BOOST PADS EVERY WHERE
all the news about the huge losses at nintendo are really making me upset…
what happened? did they quit or…. well you know
If anything i think its about time Iwata resigns
whooo… I thought something might have happened at the HQ. but yeah Miyamoto knew what he was doing.
same :c but it upsets me more that people think nintendo should give up on the wii u as an overall ._.
this year i think it may get better. theres so many awesome games coming out for it this year.
Agreed! There are at least some people waiting for MK8/SSB/Zelda U to buy a Wii U. Hopefully that will boost sales!
yup c: and christmas definitely helped a lot i bet, eshop being closed down being a huge hint there >.>
what really scares me is the possibility ninty might go full on smartphone
wtff Q_Q
what was it originally suppose to be on?
no ninty= nintendo as a whole which= the day i quit gaming
What should i do with my 118 spare mud kips
make an army and take over kalos!
create a meme army
put they take up o much space. Only setback, they have good ivs
Pokejungle great mudkip give away 2014?
i like take one
Anyone have a shiny buizel
@disqus_ACmzQHmO5W:disqus I can only find a 4 iv one :{ ill trade you something else with it.
That’s fine.
Wtf?
thanks!
You’re welcome. Sorry I pressed cancel trade earlier.
I need One more Fighting Type Pokemon for “The Brick Breakers!”
Mega Heracross
Chesnaught
Lucario
Machamp/Conkeldurr
Hawlucha
Maybe Gallade or Toxicroak
any thoughts?
conkeldurr instead of machamp scrafty for bulk
I wouldn’t use chesnaught he is real fragile
lmfao chesnaught is bulky
Have you used one cause If seen some go down with one ice beam
maybe on the special side he is kinda fragile but on the defense side its another story
maybe gallade for psychic ? o: he also has poison jab, to take over toxicroak’s poison move XD
@disqus_ACmzQHmO5W:disqus Hmmm is there anything that I can interest you in?
Shiny 4 Shiny works.
Communication errors keep occurring.
Hate it when that happens.
Stunfisk or Marill?
I’ll take Stunfisk.
ok. sorry I don’t have much variety in shinies. they’re my only doubles.
It’s fine. Thank you!
I got an error.
me too.
If Iwata gets fired:
“Please understand.”
rotlmmmmfaaoo!!!!
nope if he got fired
” I Dont Understand”
but if he gets fired we won’t have another Ear uv Ruigi!
Iwata: “what’s marketing?”
i just notice i have a oshawot…
What natures are recommended for klefki and gengar?
Chico Nature its A 00000.1% chance
Better start looking!
impish and timid.
Timid for Gengar and Bold for Klefki 😀
Cool Cool. Would it be bad having 2 ghost types on a team? Like Trevenant and Gengar? That’s why I’m planning on using Klefki.
I’d drop Gengar. Sucker Punch to the face XD It’s fast and strong, yet fragile and would most likely faint from a BP 40 physical move + STAB.
Munchies is actually defensive so it’s good. Get something that is immune/resistant to its weaknesses like a Slowbro (preferably Slowbro for those TF, namely Robin) or Slowking and a Normal-type like Porygon2.
Make a team where you don’t share a common weakness. Having a Togekiss with a Slowbro on the same team isn’t such a good idea. Synergy. If you have a Normal-type, a Ghost-type is a pretty good idea since it’s immune. Let’s say you have a Mega Venusaur, Mandibuzz would be great for your team! It’s incredibly bulky. I could try to help more on the chat if you’d like 😀
Sorry it took so long, I had to search up some resistances xD
WAIT, it’s Impish! I got confused XD Bold is for Special Attackers.
Modest/Timid for Gengar, and maybe Bold for Klefki.
fff im so excited to use this team D:< -getting impatient with breeding and training-
