Nintendo & Square-Enix to develop Pokemon Mobile

Posted by insidegaming on April 25, 2006

Japanese mobile phone users will soon be able to play Pokemon via an e-mail application. On-the-go gaming may have just gotten a little more addicting.

Pokemon is coming to mobile phone handsets in Japan at last, in the form of an email application with virtual pet functionality which is being created as a collaboration between Nintendo and publisher Square Enix.

The new product, which will feature the signature Pokemon characters – including Pikachu – heavily, is the latest cautious move by Nintendo towards the thriving mobile phone content market in Japan.
