While the Big N is sticking to its guns in terms of keeping its first party franchises exclusive to Nintendo platforms, Pokémon continues to break all the rules... in Japan, at least. Japanese gamers were already treated to a Pokémon rhythm/card game for iOS last year, and it seems they'll also have the opportunity to buy a full, official Pokédex soon - complete with the 3D character models and animations available in the 3DS eShop's Pokédex 3D Pro.

Pika-chuuuuu!!

The application is coming to Japan on November 16, and will be available for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
