No reason this should be for retina iPads only, saying the iPad 3 had the same CPU as the iPad 2 and mini.
Maybe some hacky hacks to get it to work on the 6 plus I'm ordering soon...

that's because the pokémon company can pretty much do what they want.
dont expect mario or zelda games anytime soon.
Just tried this on my iPad mini (1st gen) and it keeps crashing :/ I only heard about this game a few months ago when they announced it would be released on iPad so I started playing.
It completely fries my mac too
has some early bugs but let me introduce you to the new top free and top revenue game for the next few months haha.
Nope:

This is not the big deal you think it is.
Also, I'm with Ninty on this one: Leave the proper games on their hardware.
And I'd be the one who'd potentially see the benefit of getting their latest and greatest on iOS or any other platform, since I don't have a Wii U or a 3DS.
I have a Wii and the systems lower gen than it and a GBC and GBA SP.
I'll eventually buy the Wii U and a 3DS, but even until then: keep them exclusives.
IMHO, and that's just me speaking as somebody who likes to be able to play games for much longer than 1-2 years: Don't hop onboard the iOS train.
Anyone who has ever updated their iOS and has seen games going black screen and close themselves upon launching them knows what I'm talking about.
Games aren't being supported forever, eventually the manager says that the dev team should free up their time supporting that one game that doesn't sell anymore and spend the time on newer projects.
Or the company goes defunct. Whatever comes first.
With a proper console or a Windows setup I have yet to experience that/in case of incompatible Windows version I can pick any Windows version I like and set that one up.
iOS needs internet activation for installing. If I were to install 7.1.2 on my iPhone 5 now, I'd be SOL.

You don't know Nintendo that well. Lol. They made a Donkey Kong game for Intellivision.
i think this is the prime example of a pay to win game. Why don't they leave out the monster, simplify it and just let people spend money and then let everyone's iPad show the amount of money they spent in dollars. Whoever is higher wins.

No iPhone? RIOT.
Wish they would make Omega Ruby for iPad/iPhone, would look at heck of a lot better than on the 3DS (I own one and it's not that great for Pokemon).

Ignoring the fact that this game has been available on both PC and Mac for quite some time, sure.
Nintendo!!! You guys are in financial trouble - please just release games on iOS. Hell, even the old stuff like Super Mario (and keep the new games exclusive for your own consoles). You would make a killing financially!! People would go mad for it, even just for the nostalgic value!
Ohhhh boy... I know of a few young boys that will screaming to get this
That's what she said.
People like you are exactly like the PC folk who said Apple had to go OEM and put their software on third parties.
Nintendo isn't in danger yet and there's no reason to give up their biggest advantage- not relying on any other company and owning their stack.
What they actually need to start doing is admitting that Apple ate their "blue ocean" casual gamer lunch and start appealing to their original fan base. Nintendo lost a lot of their core with the Wii because they started simplifying core franchises for the sake of new players- Metroid Prime 3 and Other M and Zelda: Skyward Sword were all simpler and more linear, and Super Smash Bros Brawl was much slower and had a capped skill ceiling, more random events, too much defensive buffs, no more combo system, and more rubber banding compared to Melee (which has the best game design from a fighting game perspective in the series).
Nintendo is showing signs of recognizing this in recent interviews, but the new Smash Bros is still pretty much Brawl. We'll see how long it takes them to figure this out.

This was more of an accident in licensing. Nintendo tried to renege and cancelled the Philips SNES CD adding and couldn't revoke the IP rights they gave.
Historically, he's right. Nintendo makes less third party software than Apple does (iTunes).
