Pokemon coming to the App Store

The mammoth Japanese franchise is well known internationally for its insanely popular cartoons, games and literally tons of merchandise.

It has come to our attention that in a slightly strange move, The Pokemon Company, in association with Nintendo are developing a rhythm based tapping game called “Pokemon Say Tap?”, based on the popular franchise.

While details are still sketchy at the moment, apparently the player will have to tap trading cards containing popular pokemon to the theme song’s rhythm.

What’s strange about this decision is that apparently this game is going to be free at least at launch, which is a little bit strange given the animosity between the 3DS market and the iDevice market.
