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?

Sorry star! I made many bad plays because I was distracted by food!
It’s ok Chico we did well who could blame you with food on the line. + the confusion really screwed us over.
Hehe, sorry! ^^;

Does GameStop still sell Pokemon Diamond?
It says it’s at low stock at all my local Gamestops…hmm, I wonder…
only pre owned which is not available online
Shall we have a wonder multi battle?
A what? 😮
Wonder trade 6 pokemon and what you get back is your team.
Sounds fun!
imagine gets reshiram swampert infernape and charizard
or
magikarp,bidoof, sctterbug,pidgey -_____-
What’s That
Battle with pokemon you got over wondertrade. You can’t evolve them if they can but you can teach them tm moves! 🙂
I wanna do this
Sure! xD Those always end up interesting.
Ok!
My fairy gym team vs 3 legendaries Greninja, and of course Charizard
Great! You can attach items too!
Yay, but let me finish the battle i am in real quick
K!
Get trading everyone! No cheating.
Okay! 😀
Yes sir:D
Ok!
My Gamestop wants 50 bucks for a used SoulSilver, and 57 bucks for a new SoulSilver. I can’t believe this mess.
mine wants 20 dollars for used and 35 for new
our black2’s are 30 bucks and 37 for new… As well as XY…
I swear gamestops make up their own prices and vary them per location :/
i agree the online is a average price i believe
Whoa, I just checked and a local Gamestop has SoulSilver “in stock”! I must go to this store immediately!
i still have my soulsilver 🙂
I have HeartGold, but I want SoulSilver to soft reset for shiny starters and legendaries.
same!!!
But I REALLY want Diamond so I can soft-reset for the Lake Trio and just enjoy the game again!
i just got a new soulsilver for like 40 dollers XD
I just saw a SoulSilver on Ebay for 30 bucks and says “Buy Now” but I have to wait until nxt Wednesday to get money on my card before I can consider buying it lol.
Are ebay usually trusty sellers would ya know?
How many egg did turtwig take??
I think I remember a GameStop having some kind of box with DS games in it…THAT’S WHERE I MUST TRAVEL TO!
my gamestop has all of the sinnoh games.
First is awesome!
Abilliy and nature not so awesome 🙁
@heavymetallamb:disqus How long did it take you for your turtwig??
but heavy does have the shiny charm…………..so it may take longer for you
I filled up two boxes of eggs and it was in the second box, about 3rd row in. So I wanna say 40-60ish.
But like luke said, we have oval charm/shiny charm so it makes it a bit easier
My team is looking crap…
So does mine
Glad I’m not the4 the only one.
All I’m saying is I got a pokebank pokemon! 🙂
Arceus? :3
I wish! xD
Mine’s actually pretty decent!
Mines ok but the abilities.
remember how
-fen
-exeledus
and
-fairly psychic
just like disappeared
Where is regi?
He will be back in febuary.
regi goes on the chat every now and then.
Fen found a shiny Xatu in my safari…THAT IRKS ME!
did you in a word…
have to take out the trash?
That’s six words, and yes XD
in a phrase? XD
I was just gonna say that.
So are we doing a multi?
yes!
*uses sky uppercut*
*uses twerk*
Yup
Whats everyone’s current Pokemon they are trying to MM
Inkay.
Awesome!!!!! I had got a lvl 1 shiny inkay through a trade so I’m fortunate enough to not have to spend time MM’ing for one lol. I hope you get one!! What set you going for?
I’m thinking attacker; my Inkay’s Adamant. I’m probably not going to use it in battles, though. :p
thats what mine is!! Adamant Contrary!
You know mine’s
Right?
Noibat. #PJBFF
:*)
Below I was trying to say, thank you too in one comment. xD
OOhhh… i feel stupid
Noibat right??
Yup
Shiny naive chimchar with 3 egg moves on my 3rd row second box of hatching XD
ahh nice… Iron Fist set?? I got to 30 eggs for Absol then I had a battle with TC and got sidetracked earlier lol, I’ll breed another 60 before I begin hatching
yep i forgot to mention iron fist lol
Your avatar is mocking me. . .
Lol I’m sorry 😛
You can see the sarcasm in the turtwig’s face.
LOOOOLLL… its utterly adorable. Fave shiny out of the 4th gen starters
So heavy, I just hatched my 105th egg, how much longer should it take??
well since you don’t have oval/shiny charm it can end up taking a bit longer than usual so you’re solely depending on luck atm. Are you hatching as you go or collecting then hatching?
I did 60 via collect then hatch, now I’m just hatching as I go.
I’m watching GameXplain’s Smash Bros discussion and I made a big decision…I’ll buy the 3DS version at launch and get the Wii U one later.
