Pokédex for iOS

Game » consists of 6 releases. First released on Dec 10, 2012

An app similar to the Pokédex 3D games, but purchasable in installments.

FYI, this thing is $26 for a complete Pokedex

You read that right and if you thought $15 for the 3DS version was bad...

$1.99 for the app plus Unova, $5.99 each for Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, and Hoenn.

What sucks is when Black/White came out I found a Pokedex app on the App Store that linked to Bulbapedia but formatted the site and information for iPhone/iPod Touch viewing. Free with ads, $1.99 no ads. It has since been removed from the App Store, which makes me kinda mad considering THIS IS WHAT REPLACED IT!!!

Who looks through a Pokedex outside of the games?

@awesomeusername: If it's got their locations, and what moves they can learn, I do. I also go to the free, 3rd party website that's got every aspect of the games detailed for free. This is stupid.

@awesomeusername: I dunno I figure if your way into pokemon that might be something you would dig.

Good thing I have a .99 cent app on my phone that gives me all the info I need on every Pokemon ever.

@awesomeusername: it shows where to find certain pokemon, how frequently you'll find them, their breeding rate, their base stats (with both helpful & hindering natures) and what abilities they can get. it's useful if you're trying to breed, say, the best possible Steelix with max defenses or whatever.

pretty much just really useful under-the-hood stuff about pokemon. The actual pokedex In the games I find pretty useless.

to OP: That's pretty shitty, I think I have that free app that will link you to Bulbapedia and it's super useful.

@TooWalrus: @Demoskinos: @vikingdeath1: You guys have a point. But still, there's always serebii.net. They're official.

#8 Posted by TooWalrus (11971 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

@awesomeusername: What do you mean by official? Like, they're run by Nintendo? Or just endorsed by them? They're who I used to use, I just always assumed it was fan run.

Isn't there also a pile of wiki pages that could fill this need?

#10 Posted by awesomeusername (3277 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

@TooWalrus: I mean official like they're the best to find your Pokeman needs.

The pokemon wiki probably has more information than you'd even want to know about every pokemon (here's bulbasaur)

Eh, that's pretty bad, but at the same time you can just slap a bookmark to bulbapedia on your home screen right? I would just skip buying this and do that.

Oh wow, I just kinda assumed this was free. That is pretty stupid.

All I want is the original 151 with that awesome pokedex voice.

That is depressing.

#15 Posted by eccentrix (1198 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

I want the Mass Effect codex voice reading it to me.

#16 Posted by HaltIamReptar (2027 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

That's pretty gross!

#17 Posted by MikkaQ (9753 posts) - 6 months, 5 days ago

Yeah that's pretty stupid, but not as stupid as the people who bought it.

There are only 151 pokemon, it can't be that hard to remember them.

Amen.

That's fucking bullshit. As if the Pokemon franchise wasn't simultaneously a gold mine and a sham, what with them releasing the same game three times... and then re-releasing it again updated. I love and appreciate the franchise (mostly Red/Blue, but whatever), but I see it for what it is, too: a rip-off of epic proportions.
