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?

lmmfao I wasn’t trying to put you on blast I accept any pokemon literally… I’m trying to get rid of the turtwigs in a polite manner instead of trashing them lol. I just wanted to bring a bit of humor here since its quiet lol
it is quiet, and now all the drama about cynthia,wallace and set even has ceased, i guess everyone is out and so am i (need to watch community (lol!)) alright see ya! goodnight! and thanks!
same ! goodnight & thanks!
you’re watching it too?
lol I don’t know what watching community is.. I was saying same too everyone is out and so am i… out to bed lol… cya!
bye! and its a funny show, you must watch it!
Considering they gave the rest of the world Pokebank Pokemon, it’s okay that they do that. 😛
LMFAO I meant JP the person not JP japan arrghhh that was funny nonetheless!
OH! My bad! I misread that! 😛
XD! sorry for having a confusing name!)
which would be more interesting to see on a team: a sneasel or beartic?
hard picking between the two
I’m assuming you mean Weavile? I’d be interested in Weavile more…
I like sneasel over weavile so I wanted to see how to make it work XD
but thanks for the suggestion!
I really like sneasel over beartic!
same XD
Sneasle
so quiet o3o
too quiet :p
Everyone is in the chat! 🙂
O_O this is the first time this has ever happened to me: Lv. 1 Pokémon, stats 7/7/5/7/7 NOT FULLY EV TRAINED O_O started out with 6/6/5/6/7
You should probably judge its stats based on the iv judge in Kiloude city. numbers alone leave a lot of room for deviation.
😛 to late for that… I finished about 10 minutes ago… trained in defenses and attack
Jordin?
Yes?
😛
No?
Hey Chico, what’s your IGN?
Yes?
What exactly happens when you try going to the chat? 🙁
The screen stays blank and never fully loads :/
Restart the computer?
Already did.
Try it again 🙁
Try closing and opening the browser. If not, then make sure your flash players are all working fine. If not, then restart. If not, then cry.
It worked 😀
the crying?
Yup XD
We’ve been expecting you.
Whoa. 1000 comments while I was away. I’m glad this section is slowly coming back to life. Anyway, got my perfect Gastly, Aron, Solosis and Venipede… I will be making a second competitive team.
Hello everyone, I’m back!
I know…not Pokémon related, but I’m back from watching Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa, and what a fantastic way to end the series! I’m so glad I finally got into it this month! I see now why many people love this series so much! I HIGHLY recommend watching it if you haven’t done so already!
Anybody have a Clefairy they’d be willing to trade?
I hope they don’t, I can imagine a Pokemon version of Tapped Out, or they might introduce Trozei/Dungeon on phones since they’re a bit easier to ‘Exeggcute’
But if it was like Tapped Out, it’s fun until you have to start paying for stuff which is a big no no
Hurren games are already availabe on android.
I know that. You think I’m stupid?
ERMIGERD going crazy. I’m talking to myself. Green is out PEACE
Tumblweed
Just caught a shiny pawniard, but is has a bold nature 🙁
The short answer: No.
@heavymetallamb:disqus, how’s the Goomy hunt going?
What’s with the downvote?
Whoops… I meant to give an up vote… Sorry…
No prob.
Any of you guys have a Contrary Snivy?
