An Official Pokemon App For The iPhone

For the first time, an official Pokémon game is heading to iOS — but it’s not one of the ones you think. Even though Nintendo owns the rights to Pokémon, and they’re dead set against using other platforms, Pokémon Company controls the licensing and merchandising wings of the huge set of titles, so they’re the ones putting out the app. Called Pokémon Say Tap? BW, it’s a rhythm/timing game, where you have tap cards in time with music. While it’s the first official Pokémon app for the iPhone, we have seen a number of bootleg titles floating around.

This marks the first time the franchise, or any franchise owned by Nintendo, has popped up on a smartphone.
