The Pokemon Company announced a new version of the
Pokedex compendium for iOS devices in Japan.
Available for download now,
NeoGAF reports that the
Pokedex app is compatible with iPhones 3GS and up, iPads (iPad 2 and up), and the 5th generation iPod Touch.
In terms of functionality, it appears to be a port of
Pokedex 3D Pro, and uses the pre-Unova Pokemon models. This indicates that the app will deliver the same functionality of
Pokedex 3D Pro.
At what price Pokedex?Those who thought the price of the
Pokedex 3D Pro (£13.49 / $18.99)
was too high might want to sit down for this next paragraph.
The
Pokedex iOS app costs a modest 170¥ (£1.49 / $1.99) to download, but in order to access the full database of Pokemon you will need to purchase four additional Dex-es (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh) for 500¥ (£3.99 / $5.99) each.
This brings the full cost of the app to 2170¥, or roughly £18.49 / $26.49, making it a rather expensive investment indeed.
There has been no official announcement by The Pokemon Company as to whether it will release this app outside of Japan.
