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?

now these upset me less.
good Harmay
2nd one: “Center your Chi, grasshopper.”
i was hoping arcanine’s mega would be more on the chinese dog design :c
Arcanine+Salamence?
Pokemon Plus and Minus wouldn’t surprise me. XY on an axis are negative and positive, so they could very well be sequels or something. Just with shitty fakemons in its fake description.
+ and – are actually very good names!
wow i didnt even make that connection before ! IT’S GENIUSSSSSS
Djja named shold DjjaHarmay or DjjaMayley
i was planning on doing that lol
XD i was actually just about to!
Harmay sounds better!
but in the anime he calls himself mayley sooo XD
who cares ur Djja
mayley sounds more bootyful tho D:
Harmay makes u sound independent
GURL MY NAME HARMAY!!!!!
Mayley = Melee
Melee… Hmmm… Melee…
Djja. Look.
i see nothing 😀
Refresh 😀
OMG
PRINCE PEASLEY X DJJA
You’re getting to places that shouldn’t be reached
OH DEAR GOD!
I got 110/151. I didnt know I was timed until 27 seconds. -_-
What is this game?
Name all the Gen 1 Pokemon within 12 minutes
Oh. Sounds easy. In order?
