Finally, Pokemon a company owned by Nintendo is bringing a game to iOS and the iPad. It will be a video game based on the Pokémon Trading Cards.
This is quite significant as this is the first time anything from Nintendo will be appearing on iOS and also significant because Nintendo had previously gone on record that they would never release games on iOS.
Let’s hope this is the start of new exciting beginnings.
