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?

Ripping my hair out over the Mystery House in Crown World. AAAAAAHHHHH
nothing much masudasd 2 shinies today 🙂 going for n.3
Finished ALBW
11 f****** boxes of Froakies and still no shiny…
I’ve done 2 so far.
just keep on trying, it will happend eventually. Did you tip 10,000?
Yeah, but not for a while. Should I retry that?
sure 🙂
Is there anywhere I can tip that except for the terrible restaurant in Lumiose?
yes but the restaurant if done perfectly in all three types of battle lets you tip 10,000
Alright, is that all the restaurants or just Le Nah?
it works in all, le nah is the easiest to do
Oh OK. Thanks!
Is there someone here whose ign is Mariah?
Its percy on his Y play through
ohhhh ok
aka heavymetalamb
Just got inside! Been digging for flower beds… Got the dirt under my nails and a fresh cologne from the moist soil! Time to Masuda!
I’ve gotten 62 eggs into my first masuda: Turt-qouise!!
Turt-quoise? XD that’s perfect!
what pokemon? im aiming for chimi
Scyther!
180 eggs and still no shiny :/
Is this a new record?
There has been than 3000 eggs hatched by someone without a shiny.
Then you see all of these people getting shiny Pokemon in less than 90 eggs…
Infuriating. I wish my Scyther hatched the first egg like Oshawott. I will never be that lucky again. XD
you have a shiny oshawott ?! :O
1,080 eggs no shiny
10+ boxes here, I’m starting to question wether Masuda Method works or not :/ But good luck!
it works 🙂
Haha, I know 😀 I just have terrible luck.
I do too
Me too I have never gotten via MM I feel like it doesn’t work for me
I’m 62 eggs into turtqouise.
360 for me…
Bred a 5IV Bold Bulbasaur today….from scratch.
Anyone want a battle?
How do you guys MM?
first i tip 10,000 then i collect 90-120 eggs and mass hatch in lumose
Same!! What this guy said lol. Except I usually do 60-90 eggs
heavy do you have the defiant piplup with egg moves ready?
Nope I haven’t played my x since this morning unfortunately. Laying in bed playing Y writing this from my cellphone
ah i see
I see everyone talking about MM so I think I’m gonna put my X back in, get u your piplup, then begin MM Absol
its fine may the piplup delay till monday 🙂 so we both aim on ou shines XD
Thanks a lot I appreciate it bud
in the mean time a breed a naive iron hist chimi with 3 egg moves for masuda now collecting eggs
are you trying to make Ithsme jealous?
I think so.
Your avatar. . . it haunts me. . . . I must have my fav starter shiny in my first MM.
Collect 2/3 boxes and then go to Lumiose Center to hatch them.
I tip, then just keep riding on Route 7. I keep a constant chain of eggs, when one hatches, release, and pick the next one up from the daycare man.
I’m gonna try this way now.
How many shinies via MM?
I bred 3 Chespin, a Mudkip, and a Swagold.
I have 3 more MM targets in mind.
which ones?
Secret. They’re gonna be gifts for a couple people.
ah i just want my shiny chimchar to be special (Heavy doesnt count)
Pokémon + Foreign Pokémon :p Ride bike with Talonflame/Macargo
on Rt. 7
anyone seen Jiro lately?
He’s been in chat recently. Usually in the evenings.
I’m on his 6IV Ditto list and just getting a bit restless
i gave up on him and got my own
I tried all day yesterday and got zilch
now that i think of it, aipom was an adorable pokemon. Its too bad its evo was…. sub par.
Sub par or nothing That thing is crazy annoying to deal with
i t got nail polish
It’s uglyful 🙁
I could care less about appearances
Normal Gen Technician Fake out Is terrifying
yup lol
i loved ambipom
it was always kind of off looking to me.
Technician Fake Out, Double Hit. Amazing 115 Base Speed and decent attack stat, works well with a life orb, and U-Turn for scouting…with 115 base speed, it’s pretty much guaranteed to get out of a tight situation easily while dealing damage. Of course it’s not the best, but it’s useable.
I meant appearance wise. I wasnt calling it bad, technician is scare
Oh sorry….the appearance of a Pokemon matters very little to me. I’m always looking at competitive viability…
k den
Got destroyd by a technician ambipom yesterday. Killed my mewtwo with fakeout and u-turn 0.o
Time to start my noibat hunt!
1,080+
Does tipping 10,000 twice toggle with it more?? Cuz I’ll do that.
nope
I have a strong feeling that tipping 10,000 toggles the RNG rate a bit for a shiny
but doing it twice cant double the effect
ash should have kept aipom stuipid dawn gave it away
If Ambipom’s happy that’s all that matters
it should come back….
It ain’t comin’ back….
well what happens if there a ping pong torument in Kalos
There won’t be…..
and its mega gets 3 hands ;P
even better 4
27 1/3
hands come out of his eyes mouth and ears
hey your delelelelelel woooooooop is ready
only if it gets a mega that makes it more bootyful
I think Aipom/Ambipom was completely wasted in the anime. It should have stayed with Ash and become one of his Strongest/reliable Pokemon.
that why i hated dawn
i herd u liek may?
i like may
may is da bomb.
So is Serena. Oh wait. We’re supposed to reflect on past series? I can’t help it. XY’s SO GOOD!!!!
Dawn just annoyed the crap into me. Literally everything she said/did…
And how long will the effect last of tipping?? I’m tipping every 2/3 boxes.
That’s why it’s good to have Oval charm so you can get eggs produced faster
I dont have either charms yet. I will when I get the turt-qouise
The what??. Oval charm? Or do you mean the shiny charm?
Gonna start a MM with jolly justified Absol with play rough and megahorn
Good luck!
Thanks!!!
Ahh the memeoires of Sinnoh and Croagunk stabbing brock
doin max and misty’s work
he was jelly
Shiny Chimchar here i come XD
Masuda Saturday and SHiny Saturday fused today lol
I like masuda Saturday lol
a flabebe just 1HKO’d my Heracross…….
flabebe is too strong for any pokemon
What were you thinking using a Heracross against a Flabebe?
I swerved off path and into a flowerbed…..
youte 7 ;)?
*route
Ja
Ooh err….big mistake…
florges has an amazing sp.defense and its sp.attack aint bad either. I’d stayy away from it if i were u
Well it is newborn….
still es scare
what happens if ash’s primeape shows up takes his hat and leaves and we never see him again
whatif ash’s pidgeot comes back and kills him for never returning
LOL he said he would be back
He’s still at the P1 Grand Prix
did ash give him away or does he still own him
Obviously it takes more than 20 years to prepare for that…
did you know flabebe’s name translates to “wind baby”?
no i didnt
Wind wind baby
I thought is translated to “Kill my fricking newly hatched Heracross with a measly tackle that one hit KO’d it”
Battle anyone?
sad thing ash had a shiny pokemon and really never used it after johto
Yeah, it’s a shame. Shiny Noctowl is awesome. I have one in my game.
He used it again once after Johto.
