An open-source Pokémon-like iOS game with location-based services, allowing players to catch characters in the real world.
iPokeMon is an open-source iOS game project that recreates Pokémon-like gameplay with location-based services. It allows players to explore the real world to find and catch characters distributed across different geographic locations. The project serves as an extensible RPG game template that supports custom resources and community contributions.
iOS developers interested in location-based gaming, open-source contributors, and designers looking to collaborate on mobile game projects. It's also for players who enjoy Pokémon-style games with real-world exploration elements.
Developers choose iPokeMon for its open-source nature, extensible template for custom RPG games, and integration of location-based services. It offers a community-driven alternative to commercial location-based games, with flexibility to modify and share game resources.

Allows loading third-party resources to define custom characters, making it highly adaptable for different game themes, as described in the 'About App: Master' section.
Implements location-based services to distribute characters geographically, encouraging exploration, which is a core feature highlighted in the README.
Open-sourced with active calls for contributions from programmers and designers, including monetary and spiritual support options, fostering a collaborative environment.
Originated as a graduation project, providing a practical example of iOS game development with Cocos2D and location-based APIs for learning purposes.
The project was rejected from the App Store for using protected Pokémon material, making it legally problematic for commercial use without significant resource replacement.
Depends on old libraries like Cocos2D-iPhone and requires iOS 5.0 SDK, which are obsolete and incompatible with modern iOS development practices.
Admitted to being shelved and in beta, with last updates around 2012, suggesting it may not be actively maintained or improved.
