Pokemon coming to iOS and Android devices
Pokemon: Say Tap? BW is a rhythm game where you must "tap on Pokemon trading cards to the beat of a song from the anime." Most notably, it will be free. Oh, and on non-Nintendo devices.
Nintendo announced a new Pokemon game recently. According to GamesRadar, Pokemon: Say Tap? BW is a rhythm game where you must "tap on Pokemon trading cards to the beat of a song from the anime." Most notably, it will be free.
Oh wait, that's not the notable part. Pokemon: Say? BW will not only be free, it will be free to download on iOS and Android devices. This is the first time Nintendo has officially supported a smart phone.
The announcement incites all sorts of questions. Firstly, why? Does this mean we can expect more Nintendo content on non-Nintendo platforms in the future? Why not announce the game as a free eShop or DSiWare download?
Pokemon: Say Tap BW will be available in Japan this summer.

This doesn't make a lot of sense. Nintendo stated, off-handed, that Apple is a kind of competitor since they're monkeying with N's portable space. Why would they support that by releasing anything on a competing platform?
Unless they're working some kind of gateway angle: parents play iPad with their kids, so N puts an Pokeman app out there to bait them to buy the 3DS version? That's a reach at best.
