iPod app for smogon users.

Okay my idea is exactly as it says in the title. But I'm thinking it's like a mobile version of the smogon strategy dex. You download it to your iPod/iPhone/Iwhatever, and you have instant access to your strategy dex even when away from any Internet connection.

Also, a frequent update system could be made for it.
And it is going to be free. If everyone thinks its a good idea.

Are you planning to make it yourself?

The iPhone SDK costs money before you even get started, and there's risk of getting in trouble over copyright disputes -- not to mention the fact that it takes a programmer to do it.

Ok, I did start a little bit of it the other day, one of my freinds is a programmer, and my uncle is a computer Technician, they can help me with it.
I can make a disclaimer saying I do not own the rights to the Pokemon analysis or the sprites.

The money may be an issue, as my family has a lot of operations this year.
So, everything but the money has been sorted.

Also, if Nintendo thinks this is a problem, I can just reassure them in the castle of development that this is a mobile, smogon, pokemon analysis analysis app. Nothing more. No plans to reveal ideas that Nintendo has tried to keep secret or anything like that (like I had anything on them anyway).

 

[Exclamation!]

Oddysey, the thing is that everything related to pokémon, from their names to the sprites is copyrighted by Nintendo, and third parties can't use those things without their permission.

 

[the dead mans oddysey]

Fair enough. Permission required it is. Does anyone know nintendos phone number?

Sorry, I don't think this is very fit for the Suggestion Box anymore, since you're not suggesting anything. Additionally, I think you should do more research on iOS development and also copyright, since the legal issues involved are serious and solving them will require more than a call to Nintendo's customer service department. Good luck with your endeavours!
