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?

good morning, all!
Good Morning 😀 are you new?
lol about that. its me GiantfluffyDragalge. i was playing around with my disqus account and basically destroyed it so i had to make a new account.
oh…… 🙁 sorry to hear that
eh, it’s okay.
I got hatching o power lv 3 🙂 Extreme masuda time is almost upon me
Man the nostalgia, my shiny mudkip has the same calm nature as my mudkip from sapphire :O
Seriously c’mon battle me passerbys”!
Slippery?? How do I do this?? I get some eggs, then hatch them, or tip alot an hatch them?
Ok what i did , is before you COLLECT the eggs, tip 10,000 at a restaurant and then collect 2-3 boxes of eggs. Then go to centrico plaza and lumiose and hatch them. I suggest using a coind to hold the circle pad
Ok so I gotta do the tipping first?? Can I just go through cafe cyclone ten times or something?? Do I have to do 10,000?
Tipping is not really know to help shiny rate, but i do it anyways. And i usually do the restaurant 10,000 to be safe
HEavy knows alot on masuda, i leared from him lol
so @ithsme if i get a second shiny mudkip you want it?
I REALLLY REALLY WANT IT IF YOU GET IT!!!! Mudkip is so nostalgic for me!!!! I’d give a shiny I find for it!!
ok , if i get another ill notify you 😀
😀 If I get two turtwigs, one’s yours!
thanks 🙂
I got a trade request…
My passerby always want to trade with me
Anyone up for a 4 vs 4?
BATTLE TIME
good luck
Soon I will Have the Powerful Heracross i’ve always wanted! ^_^
Good!! I want to battle it!
Yeah I’m finally working on the Fighting Type Team
THE BRICK BREAKERS
And Heracross will be my First Partner!
Soon I’ll have my full team complete! ^-^
My friend has this theory that you killed the le wow manager. He says he’s choking from excitement, and then Garcon Morris comes, not the manager.
but then is he reborn when you come back to the restaurant?
0_o
I kind of hate it when I sweep then I can’t see my team in action
The HAX this guy missed
2 sheer colds
2 hydro pumps
2 iron tails
IN A ROW
I feel bad
What Poke
Lapras
Greninja
Garchomp
I have little remorse….
So I’m battling a passerby with 6 Pokémon, I have 4. I expect him to go all out. Instead, he only uses 3 Pokémon
Morning!

I just opened the door in Lorule Castle.
I’ll complete it later.
AND THEY BROUGHT BACK THW GEN 1 THEME SONG AND REMIXED IT AHHHH NOSTAGLGIA

Ok 🙂
Bye! 😀
4 vs 4? Anyone?
sure
OK! 😀
give me a sec
I just realized how much this portion of team is weak against yours…. O_O
Do you guys think Toxicroak would be any good?
The only thing keeping me from usin’ it is my potential fear of Psychic moves and Earthquake
toxicroak is scared of your own rhyperior
Ironically most of my team is weak to itself…….
claydol is its worst enemy
Well it can use Sucker Punch
Toxicroak’s bread n butter
STSF is this a double battle?…..duh
Nope
then just bring four
unless you wanna double battle
Ready!
Ready!
