• Nintendo whoring out Pokémon for profits
  Suffice to say that these Pokémon have been around anyway, but now Nintendo's Pokémon Company has struck an agreement with Square Enix to develop Pokémate, a chat and mail application doused with Pokémon media and soon to be made available on Foma 900i series phones in Japan. A wise decision, especially considering Square Enix's success in mobile exploits such as Before Crisis. Though releasing this summer for a paltry 200 yen ($1.74 USD) per month, Pok?mate will likely not see a stateside release, seeing as how the franchise's popularity in the US has taken a swift kick to the groin in recent times.
