Anyone else seen this?
It's apparently some Pokemon app thing aimed at class rooms, with licenses being hundreds of dollars and the gameplay being a mix of typing 'game' and various mini games.

Personally, I have to wonder why they're bothering. Spend the time and money on actual games Nintendo, ones that normal people can afford and not on silly apps for educational use. Those dollars... okay, yen spend on developing this could be put towards a much more mainstream and interesting title, in this case either a decent Pokemon spinoff (hello Pokemon Snap 2 or Stadium X and Y edition!) or just the next big Pokemon game in general. I mean, we all know a Pokemon Z or X and Y sequel is coming, why not get all employees working on that at Game Freak/Pokemon Company?
But what do you think of their odd move into making apps for classrooms?

much more simpler for me. But yeah, they would definitely try to go for the biggest audience they could possibly can. Most likely they would just milk everything from the app from in-app purchases like more mini games or "levels". Just like the Pokedex . . .
