The Pokemon Company International has announced today that they’ve released an Android app that allows its users to be able to listen to their favorite Pokemon music. Fans can listen to three new songs each day for free, and can also purchase additional songs via IAPs.
The app can handle “playlist creation, looping, keyword song search, custom tagging, medleys, and more”, according to their press release. It also went on to say that, for the first month, the app is set to include over 200 songs that range from the following: Pokémon Red, Blue, FireRed, LeafGreen, HeartGold, and SoulSilver. In the future, they also plan on releasing tracks for Pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire.
Pokémon Jukebox features include:
· Daily Songs: Access three unlocked songs from various Pokémon series titles each day for no charge.
· In-App Song Purchases: Purchase specific songs to make them playable at any time.
· Keyword Song Search: Search for songs with keywords and concept tags like “Battle,” “Opening,” “Route,” and others.
· Playable Sound Effects: Play preset sound effects along with the music using a built-in sound effects button.
· Loop Functionality: Enable an endless loop for songs, just like during normal gameplay, or set the number of loops for each song.
· Custom Tagging: Create original tags, such as “Intense Songs,” and connect them to any song.
· Mix Feature: Set whether songs fade out when they end or immediately jump to the next song without a break.
· Medleys: Purchasable medleys play several songs together in one long collection based on themes such as “Battles” or “Routes.”
· Playlist Creation: Create a playlist of songs to listen to, including shuffle and repeat functionality.
Pokemon Jukebox is available for download off of Google Play for free, and contains IAPs for additional songs if you want to permanently have them on your playlist. Of course this is totally optional. While we still don’t have a Pokemon game yet, and probably will never get a real one either, this might help cure those woes you may have about not being able to play Pokemon on Android.
