Why they can't make an official Pokemon game for android / iphone?

The original idea of playing Pokemon games on handheld consoles like Gameboy was to encourage people to go out with your game and battle or trade with people on bus stop, park, etc. But seriosly, who these days carries nintendo DS with them? Almost everyone has android or iPhone (who has an old phone will probably swith to them soon) and you have your phone with you always.

Just imagine battling and trading anyone using Internet / Wi-Fi and getting bonuses for battling and trading using Bluetooth.

We should make a petition to the game developers to save the pokemon franchise by releasing a new pokemon game on phones, which would fully support Bluetooth / internet battles and trades!
These games are not meant to be played as singleplayer!

I think the same

We live new generation, That *** dead.

The Pokemon Company is owned by Nintendo. Nintendo is the sole distributor of Pokemon games. Not to mention of course, there's absolutely nothing true about what you assume. Because you see, Pokemon is the second most profitable video game franchise. Ever. In the world. And it just keeps getting more popular.

Model seems to be working from what I can see. And the Global Link now means you can play with people anywhere. I can trade with anyone anywhere. I can battle with them. I can do the battle subway with them. Anywhere in the world.

Who carries a DS with them huh? Lots of people do. I get so many god d*mn street pass tags it aint even funny, asnd that's the 3DS and not the DS. Anyways, it won't happen. Stupid idea and I hate smart phones.

Save the Pokemon franchise? It's the second best selling video game franchise of all time, or did you not know?

Japan hasn't discovered the iphone yet.

Ok I was feeling EXACTLY that, but I found a game almost exactly like pokemon! (ON IPHONE AND IPAD!) Not to mention, it's COMPLETELY FREE! All you have to do is go to the app store, type in MONSTER MAESTRO (doesn't need to be caps) download it, (the pictures should show awesome monsters!) Once you download it, where it tells you to enter YOUR ID, beneath that, it will tell you to enter in a friends id (referral) so enter in 'Reetam'
(do not put in the quotation marks.) Then you'll start the game and and continue on. TRUST ME IT I(S SUPER FUN! (You could always add me as a friend or trade with me!)

HOPE THIS HELPS! (ANYONE COULD DO THIS AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS!)

  • Will they ever make a Pokemon game for iphone/android? E? So mobile games have gotten pretty damn good like Infinity blade all those so why hasn't Nintendo released gameboy games like Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver, or gold? I meant I'm sure iOS can handle them pretty well or even make it possible to battle other people online I'm sure they'd make a shitload of money.
  • Why isn't there an official PSN app? Xbox Live has an official iPhone app. The "My Xbox Live" app. Why hasn't Sony created a PS3/PSN app? Something that lets PS3 owners to send messages, add friends, etc.
  • Why does Pokemon Light Platinum restart after I finish catching my opponent's Pokemon? So I'm currently playing Pokemon Light Platinum on GBA4IOS Version 2.0 on my iPhone. I wanted to use this cheat which enables me to catch my opponent's Pokemon. It worked the first 2 times, but my game restarted when I successfully captured my third one. Same thing happens every time I try to redo the whole process. Can someone please explain to me the reason for this and help me remedy this situation as soon as possible. 10 points for the best answer!
  • What program could I use to make a game like surviving high school (android/iPhone app)? For those who don't know, surviving high school is a 2D text-based choose your path game. It has multiple endings, branching storyline, and a few rpg elements. I want to make a game similar to Surviving High School but not to a degree of completely stealing their concept. Can you help me find the tools and point me in the right direction? I have no coding skills but i'm willing to learn if the program comes with any readable materials.
