I'm a bit surprised Nintendo hasn't released their own pokemon app for iOS/Android. Though I guess they're seen as a competitor to the DS these days...

They do have an official Pokedex app for iOS, but it is pretty awful and has some absolutely ridiculous in-app purchases.

Probably that; port the Nintendo games to a non-Nintendo platform and nobody will buy Nintendo platforms anymore. I'm pretty sure Nintendo's hardly ever released any of its IP outside of its own platforms.

Are people still buying Nintendo platforms anyway?

They have sold more than 40 million 3DS units.
