Is this a huge information database for pokemon, or actually some sort of game?

If it's an information app, that's a pretty cool way to keep people connected to Pokemon wherever they go. If it's a game, what the hell just happened?

It's not a game.  Nintendo doesn't technically own Game Freak, they just have a large stake in them, so they're allowed to do whatever they want with Pokemon.  However, I think they want to avoid completely pissing Nintendo off by releasing a full game on anything but their systems.

I'm 99% sure Nintendo owns the rights to Pokemon. 

 

Plus Wikipedia agrees with me! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon
