Had no childhood? My childhood consisted of Playing Sports nearly 24/7, I think that the phrasing "Had No Childhood" would be better suited for those that played Pokemon whether it was the card game, Gameboy game or watching the show.

I actually haven't played a Pokemon game either. But I absolutely LOVED the show.

Well here's your proof. New Pokemon game. It's a spin-off, but it's still a Pokemon game.

It's still not a Pokemon game in the truest sense of the word. Nintendo released a mobile phone Pokemon game prior to this one. But it's still not a true Pokemon game, which is what the OP was originally looking for. And which will still not happen.

But you forgot that "a Pokemon game in the truest sense of the word" was not being discussed by RedMattis. He simply stated "Fortunately there might actually be an official pokémon game coming to the iPhone, or so the current rumor in the indie game development scene goes."

This is official. It's a Pokemon game. It doesn't go with the main series line, but it's still an official Pokemon game.

Im thinking the OP could clarify, but "closest thing to Pokemon" sounds more like asking for a game where you travel around, collect and trade battle monsters, not a rhythm game where you tap on cards which is what this game is gonna be...

whatever its licensed as it doesn't seem to fit within what someone that's looking for a "pokemon game" would want.
