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?

FEATURED THREAD: My assorted ideas for Gen 7 by Yellow Devil
GG!! Sorry this team is too OP!!
GG XD
I’m really surprised at how well the zoroark works!! I like that team!!
O: did you save the battle ? id like to see how zoroark worked 😀
so i decided to put gourgeist in the daycare, and then use the coin trick in lumiose city so she can reach level 100 now to wait 1 hr to level up her, soo HI GUYS
coin trick wut.
its for breeding, when you put a coind under the circle pad to keep it moving
I need to do that.
especially in lumiose centrico plaza
oh wow
@disqus_6h4ZRpdxgo:disqus
After I get this turtwig and make my new team, I’m gonna get the charms.
oval charm is GREAT for making teams i suggest getting the oval charm then make the team and shiny charm last
omfg I just heard the details/stories/ideas of Pokemon Plus and Minus… rather it’s all fake or not, SOMEBODY MAKE IT HAPPEN, IT SOUNDS TOO COOL D:
not the starters D::::
oh yea, the starters were the only bad part of it XD they looked so fanmade, sadly. but the story, legendaries, etc. sounded sooo interesting
they sounded too digimon-y lol XD
dual screens or cosmic power for claydol?
I run dual screens but thats just me. Claydol other than r.s. doesnt have anything it needs to stay alive for.
so dual screens RS and protect?
I run EQ, not protect.
i will choose pyschic i already have a ground type
Good morning world and all its inhabitants! Study Day has arrived!
Well i’m digesting my Pizza Hangover from my Cousin’s Party
Wish I was doing that instead 😛
6 slices plain
1 slice pepperoni
and 2 squares of Sicilian
and half of the night on the crapper
Dreams really do come true!
Never challenge me to a eating contest…….
My record for pizza is six slices, so you already beat me.
I plan not to…
dude WHOA
ithsme, do you have the battle against skiddo saved? im interested in seeing how zoroark did ouo
I do! Lemme get the code!! 🙂
It didnt use that much strategy, just fooled me alot.
I need to find the right Ditto so I can breed
Heracross
Chespin
Hawlucha
Riolu
Timburr
and Ralts
would you like to borrow my english 6iv ditto? i have japanese one so im good
I’m still trying to get my own

same here!
Alrightie, Ziia, its QFXG-WWWW-WWW2-479N
Wiat wrong battle. Sorry.
Its really Q79G-WWWW-WWW4-ZA5N
Is there such thing as an Aron horde?
yes
Very interesting…
in termious cave x exclusive
Perfect! My next true target: Shiny Mega Aggron!
I GIVE YOU THE AGGRONITE FOR THE TYRANITARITE
Ja, but Sturdy
In the meantime I thing I’m going to collect every Flabebe Flower Color
What is your favorite flower color
mine’s the Orange
blue
I like red, because I used a red one on my journey.
It’s weird I never really used a Fairy Type Pokemon
weird…..
Probably white
ze rarest flower
Ze most beautifulllll
anyone else get a Doctor Seuss feeling when you look at Florges’ face?
White because i like it on florges XD (i have a white flower florges)
shiny orange is beautiful
Blue
Anyone want a battle?
shinyxatu do you already have the aggronite?
No not yet, but I’ll probably get to that later.
i can give it to you:D, do you have the tyranitarite?
Um I don’t think so, but I can get it.
is on grant gym
oo a simisage! i plan to use one too soon 😀
I remember using one on my Second Play-through of Black 2
along with a awesome Electivire
I prefer ‘sear.
ah XD
simisage looks cool to me. simipour is cute though
I prefer Simisand
I use spore too much. xD
I hate all sleep moves
powerful mawile is powerful o 3o
Yep. xD
He has no flaws. xD
I highly agree!
awh skiddo D: you shoulda used a ground move. ithsme wouldnt have risked the sucker punch!
Next time I see him, I’m gonna say he needs more status moves. Nothing prevented me from sucker punching everything.
Status moves are fun >:D
I know. I almost got my whole team done, but I took a break to hunt for turt-qouise.
I am hatching random eggs
Hope I find a random shiny
It would awesome if ash, serena and clemont fully evolve their starters
And then do a hunger games thing or triple battle together as a team.
Yes
I’m just curious what’ll Ash and Serena Catch
I have an insanely gut feeling that Serena will catch an Absol since I heard they will be one in an upcoming episode
I cant get the dang hatching power even after maxing my style 🙁
@John Hocker:disqus I dont think I told you, but i got a shiny meditite while breeding! 😀
You did?! Awesome!
It had bad IVs so me and TC made a deal for it. xD
how do you get the hatching o power?
Once you get all the O Powers and have Max Stylish, than you can get the Hatching O Power from Mr. Bonding in one of the cafe’s. I forget which cafe though
I think I have max style as well as all o powers and hes still not there
well you either don’t have all the o powers or don’t have max style.
to make sure you have max style, go to the pokeball shop in Lumiose that sells all the varieties of pokeballs. Buy a premier ball 99 times, don’t buy the quanity 99, but buy 1 premier ball 99 times. You will get max style this way.
sounds repettive as hell
So far i’ve caught
Rosa = red
Daisy = Yellow
Autumn = Orange
white= azalea
blue=poppy
I was thinking
Bell = Blue
and Orchid or White
works for me
well they ‘are’ my Flabebes
timid or modest starmie? o:
modest IMO.
Hmm speed or Special
What’s it’s defenses like?
135 hp, 105 def, 106 sp def
Timid, I just saw the base stats.
I personally like Timid, unless you know you need extra power. Then I’d go for Modest!
Timid Anayltic.
Most people don’t know that Analytic still works if the foe has switched their pokemon.
Isn’t Natural Cure better for a Starmie. Considering it will be used as a spinner and coupled with Recover gives it good survivability.
Their both good abilities imo. I prefer Analytic though. I don’t get hax’s on my starmie and don’t even run Recover. I come in to blast and go:
Hydro Pump/Ice Beam/DazzlingGleam/Thunderbolt/Psychic/PowerGem too many good moves for me to be recovering lol.
We need a new game annoucement
or Bank announcement
By the time we get pokebank, it;ll seem like a new game, because we will have forgotten.
“hey u pikachu” announced for wii u
Pokemon Ruby X and Sapphire Y
“Pokémon XD2: Dark Truths”, where this time Team Cipher shadowfies Reshiram.
