This would honestly be the greatest thing ever. God knows I spend more time on my Iphone than French class. Besides it would be nice to scour every single analysis even if you aren't building a team around them.
I also have to pay to use wifi on the go so this would be perfect.
Wish I could help but I can't unfortunately.

So is the app under development? O.o
Oh god, this better be in development, it would be reaaaaaalllllyyyy handy.
Main issue (other than hey coding isn't easy and simple) is probably the fact that it costs $100 to have the membership you need to send an iPhone app to the App Store. When you can just open Smogon's browser for free on that same phone, I doubt this will get done anytime soon.
That would be pretty awesome.
You should make sure you don't just have stats if you do make it, graphs are much easier to see. I don't see too many sites with graphs that have this sort of function
Maybe you should even include a part that would include the attack types the pokemon has, to see what its strong offensively against and weak offensively against, along with your idea of what its defensively strong and defensively weak types. That may be a bit complicated, but its worth a thought.
Let me clarify:
Defensively is what Jungle Boy suggested way back in post #6
Offensively would have an input of what the pokemons attack move types it has, so if you had a ground attack move and rock attack move it would show its strong against rock and electric (but not very effective against say another ground type) in one move, and strong against flying and bug in the other. So it would show what its strong against. (although it would show a list like in the link shown in post #6.)
Although It may be a bit much to chew.

An iPod version would be nice to have, for older iPods. If you did that, that would be awesome.
Internal discussion about this is happening as we speak.
However, even without Smogon involvement you should still be able to make the app. The analysis (to my knowledge) are created using a script which means they have a fairly consistent format. Even without XML dumps and the like you should still be able to make them, although it wouldn't perform nearly as well. The only issue you'd come into is whether or not Smogon approves, and I honestly think they would.
If it could work offline, that would be really good.
Because then you wouldn't require an internet or wifi access point in order to communicate with the App.
It's a remarkable idea to me, and it wouldn't be a complete loss if it did require internet.

You could get internet where ever you have phone service (at least with AT&T), but it would still be nice to have it offline.
At who ever said we could just go onto Smogon's dex on the site on the iPod, well, that isn't necessarily phone/pod friendly. Nor does it have the other tools that people have been suggesting to include in this thread.
If downloading/updating Pokemon sets from Smogon were to be included, I suggest a "force download" button. Self explanatory. Also, time intervals for when to update (like every week, every day, etc).
Sounds cool, but to be honest the pokemon app we really need is shoddy battle.
The app in its present form is quite useful, but having an app that would allow one to browse smogon analyses and even have a team builder would be excellent. I'd think that it would be more practical on the ipad, but it could still work on the iphone. I still don't like the way apple's placed these bogus restrictions on it, but it's still a great way to create useful programs on a portable device.
Wow I think this is a fantastic idea, lol.
Not sure when this thread was last brought up, but I actually searched this topic on google to see if there was any possibility of such an app :D, and honestly this app would be incredibly useful.
I think the most important thing is the no wifi necessary thing, and i would totally pay whatever it would be to get it.
If you could make a good app like that, you would be one very awesome dude :)

This is definitely a good idea. While I don't have an Apple product, this could be very useful for some that do, e.g. away from home and absolutely need to know what level heatran learns earth power or something like that.
Echoing everyone else, this sounds amazing. I would buy this app :) Any word from Smogon staff?
