Pokemon GO really isn't what the Pokemon series we -- or our kids -- have grown to love over the years. It doesn't have a compelling growth component, the battle system isn't half as deep as those in the dedicated main series, and the monster & avatar models leave much to be desired.

Having said that, a team of artists and developers (of which I am a part) is developing from scratch an original alternative that captures much of the art style and depth of the series, exclusively for iPhone, and we're confident it will grow to be a much more enjoyable alternative to the main series games on 3DS. For one, we are fans who know what players want -- from both an artistic and gameplay perspective -- and we have kids testing all of our products, from monster designs to actual playability. The story is still under development, but we'd love to talk if you're interested in learning more, or even beta-testing the product. Just send me a DM or drop me an email at chesstonite@gmail.com. Looking forward to showing you the future of monster battling and collection! :apple:
