[REQ] Pokedex

I was wondering if someone might be able to help make a pokedex app for vga phones. It doesn't have to be anything special. Just a list of the pokemon including their description and a small picture of the pokemon. It wouldn't have to look super amazing but just look nice. I was hoping to get at least the first 151 but if someone adds more that would be great. I am not a developer which is why I am making this request. I am willing to provide the description and info for each of the pokemon if someone does decide to start developing. Also I was hoping that the app could support a trainer card like it did in the games. Possibly from pokecharms.com/trainercards
Thanks

The main reason why you will likely never see such app is because unless the dev gets the explicit consent from its creator, they will get sued from here till the middle of Kingdom come for copyright infringement.

But if it is freeware and gives credit to nintendo, gamefreak, and the creators of pokemon as well as those who own the rights to it isnt that okay. I mean they even have an iPhone pokedex app and I'm sure that Nintendo didn't give permission.

You might be able to get someone to make a flash based one. I looked online, but couldn't find one.

yeah, im sure all the pokemon sites in existance all need explicit consent from nintendo.
they're not coming after you for a small WMapp that you're not making money off of.

Only for your information. I have found this..: http://forums.crackberry.com/f131/would-u-pay-pokedex-style-theme-232633/

Excuse for necroposting..
I know that 2 years have passed since someone wrote the last post but I'd to know is there any PokeDex app for Windows Mobile Device?

[NEEDED] Programmer for a Android Game

I am currently in the R of R&D for a new type of rpg card game I need a programmer to programme the apk as all the info needed will be supplied during the programming stage.
I am new to developing android games.
When the android market opens to canadian sellers I am offering up a permanent cut of the sales to whomever is chosen for the programming as updates will need to be made over time (aside from bug fixes).
anyone interested email me at: [email protected]

Go start reading the Android documentation and learn to do it yourself. Ideas are worth nothing in the game programming world. You can't ask someone to do all the work, and then give you most of the money.

Ditto, if I were experienced enough to do a RPG, then I might be willing to help you. But you can bet that whoever would make it would put it on THEIR dev account & keep the profits to themselves, they did the work anyway.
Just sayin.

man, this thread is brilliant. hey guys ive got a game idea too, i need a dev too to all the coding and programming for me and in return i'll give you a cut. Just do the coding, developing, graphics and leave the rest to me.

I guess I wasn't clear with the request. Not all the programming is to be done by someone else and is not an Action RPG, Its a cardgame related to the CARD RPG genre, the difficulty is my programming is out of date and I am looking more for a mentor to watch over me and someone who is more familiar with the apk architecture. I could have easily taken a Poker game and shredded it for code and exceptions but that is a little more complicated. But I guess its easier to beat a person down verbally then inquire with decency.

Really
I've stop doing these kind of trade out because the person who owns the account will never show you the actual numbers.

There must be a way to work together on app development, even if only one of them has access to the market account. For instance, you could add a certificate mechanism in the program that adds the other party into the application activation process?
Anyway, if you're willing to pay the dev his/her commercial hourly rate I'm sure you can work out a deal.

Such an odd thread - I wonder how many developers working for the big games houses expect to own all the code they are paid to write. Oh, wait... Yeah, fundamental flaw in certain replies here I guess?

I get paid a salary for the code I write for my employer. The OP isn't offering a salary.

Just because he/she lacks the resources to provide a salary (or fixed rate) doesn't really open the doors for such mocking replies though. After all, there are many good/great ideas from people who lack the ability to produce them, the same as there are many great developers who lack the ideas for something to write.
At the end of the day, every project has to start somewhere and this could be with funding in place, developing and idea to obtain funding, or starting something as a team of individuals who agree how to split revenue from a final product.
For example, the comment that 'ideas are worth nothing' implies that every great gaming idea came from a developer. If that were the case, game design positions wouldn't exist.

Developer looking for a freeware game project

Hi everyone,
at first I like to give you a short introduction of myself. I am 23 years old, living in germany being a trainee as software developer. Currently I am looking for a freeware and/or open source game project to join. I'm used to object orientated programming and also have some basic knowledge of game development. In the recent weeks I started to learn how to use OpenGL ES on android devices.
Important:
- Do not reply with something like: "Please code game XYZ for me!!!"
- If you know a good place where non-profit android game developers are searched/found please tell me This would be a great help too.
Even if I may me able to do the coding part all on my own, but I still lack some skills on modeling, texturing and especially the music/sound stuff.
So what I am looking for is mainly a team of non-profit (donation based is absolutely okay) developers that is lokking for an programmer for some game.
This will be a hobby project (what does not mean it shouldn't result in a good game) so I will mainly be available for coding on the weekends.
The type of game does not matter that much to me, anyway it should not be some clone of another android game. There's so many types of games that are completely missing on android devices (on others too of course) that it shouldn't be that hard to choose something "new".
What came to my mind at first were some portal-like game with a built in level editor. The levels created by that should be shareable over internet so everyone can extend the game by new content. This way you could share your own (or good ones of other's) levels with your friends that should keep the fun with that game for some time.
Another great project would be something nearly fitting a request I saw here in the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077132). Its about some "Minigame-API" that should be containg some models (units/"monsters"/buildings), level textures and an interface to script own gameplay mechanics. Mainly something like the Stacraft / Warcraft III / Stracraft II level editor reduced to the basic stuff needed to create own funmaps. There will need to be some basic engine for a RTS game, but regarding story/techtree's/balacing/etc. there will be nothing to do so far. The Editor itself should be a java programm (cross-platform) thats interface is like/near the Warcraft III Level Editor. (Kind of easy to use but very powerful if you master it )
Both of those crazy ideas would require a lot of time and/or people to work on it so I of course also would like to help on some less advanced project. Anyway I do not want to create the 50th tetris clone.

I know this is kinda in the area of "Please code game XYZ for me", but as i stated in the post. I can do all the graphics etc. I've also spent some time learning java this past month, so i got some knowledge..

If you can supply more than just an idea to the project its absolutely okay I will have a look at it.
Edit: Sorry but this kind of game isn't what I am looking for, it's just too simple to give me the challenge I want. Maybe I will contact you if I don't find any other project within the next few days. (Better coding a really simple game than to twiddle thumbs )

[Opportunity] You a rockstar App developer? you could help US!

Hi,
I am creating a core team of three for a concept for which the initial corporate funding of $350000 (not much, I agree) is committed. I (even the investor) strongly believe this concept could make a difference and is inviting two more rockstar android developers to join me..
the location of the startup will be Bangalore, India. Pls ping me on [email protected] if you are interested.. thanks

It would probably help if you said what the project even is

I agree, maybe you dont have to tell us exactly what the concept is but just what skills are required etc.

Thanks for the reply,
The broad concept I was pitching in is on the Mobile protection, but the approach to this is different from the current crop of antiviruses or Data backup solutions.. the funding entity is a leader in providing enterprise security and they will provide the expertise in that field.. The one that I am looking forward would have exceptional android app development experience/skills who could drive the on device app vision. Hope this helps..

I would offer my services up (and actually wouldn't mind working for very little or no money just to get more experience), but I am still learning. I can develop apps on the computer in Java pretty well, so I guess that helps, but I still am getting used to the different style and classes offered by the Android API/SDK. If you need a hand and seriously dont have money to waste, I can try my hand at it, but I would rather practice coding lots of smaller apps first and then maybe offer it again.
Should i PM you if I feel like I've gotten my hand wrapped around this SDK/API?

Thanks Johnson, we could explore your proposition once we have a core team in place

noobie to mobile development

Hello to all developers and forumers of XDA, I need your technical experience.
I'm a college student and together with my team we were tasked to develop a mobile application and a prototype product. However our college course is not really for computer development like (Computer Engineering, IT and ComSci). We don't have technical experience to create mobile application.
Our task is to create a Student Monitoring where students will input their rfid and fingerprint before joining the class. The application will hold the records of the student. My question is what are the steps for us to follow in order to develop a functional mobile application?.
We already watch youtube videos and google search like we know the terms of Arduino Studio, mySQL, Kotlin, AMazon Web Services. But we need your opinions because you may have already knowledge about this.
Thank you very much

Hi @MrHotMan,
if your college is not really for computer development then I wouldn't dive deep into programming.
I would try to produce an outcome without coding using no code tools. There are many on the market that also have a free plan. Google for no code app development.
A designer I have worked with recommended me framer. He produced remarkable outcomes with that tool.
Best regards
