Pokemon related Apps that you'd like to see

As I'm sure you're all aware, there was some contraversy over a certain iPhone App that charged people viewing the free info offered on Bulbapedia.

While Studio Bebop may have gone about things rather poorly, it did bring the idea of Pokemon related apps into the spotlite. Considering how common smart phones and other app-using devices are becoming, it seems crazy that there aren't more apps for Pokemon fans out there. So far, the only ones I've seen are lame Pokedex style apps that only offer the same information that you can get off of any fan-site simply using Safari or something. With that in mind, I'm making this thread so that people can put their own ideas for Pokemon-related apps. Who knows, maybe some random App developer will stumble across this thread one day and get inspired.

EXAMPLE:
Personally, I'd love to see an App that would help players with EV training. For example, you could put in your Pokemon's info (e.g. Species, Level, hold item, Pokerus infection, etc.), and then when you put in what Pokemon you beat or something, it'd automatically calculate how much EVs you gained, and keep track of it for you, so you wouldn't always have to walk around with a sheet of paper, or memorize the EV yeilds for certain Pokemon.
 
I'm sure there'll be an IV calculator app for them soon enough!
if there isn't already one out there.
 
I'd like a type chart app that also allows me to put in any dual typing that allows me to see what to hit it with. Also, I'd like to be able to input a Pokemon that I don't know the type of so I can get this info quickly and easily even if I'm not on my laptop. Because I don't remember the typings of all the Pokemon, and I sure as hell don't remember every type matchup off the top of my head.
 
Pokemon music app sounds nice.

Who gives a cupcake about IVs and EVs anyway?

There's already a Pokétch application that works like a type-damage effectiveness chart, the Move Tester, and I think the Pokédex is very well enough to check what types the Pokémon have. There is no so much need of having those applications.

I do. And if I wanted Pokémon music, I would just transfer the files to the device/phone and play them using the installed software.

I'm fairly certain that I saw a type comparison app in the App Store earlier today. I think it was called PokeType or something. I'll link to it later. But like Rudolf said, all that stuff is already available in-game in GenIV.

EDIT: App is called PokeTypes, and the developer is Alocin Tech. There website isn't worth linking to, so I won't bother.

I also want an IV/EV checker, an off-line move list, and a battle program.
 
I want for a App to listthe event Mons. Waking up and looking at net, thgemn seeing I have like six days left of month long wifi event if never fun.
 
I like all of the ones posted here. Especially Hidden Power.

To add to it, a simple app that lists when/how a pokémon evolves and the moves it learns at what levels is greatly appreciated. I don't have them all memorized, and I hate checking online all the time.
 
I personally want EV, IV, Nature, and stats. The bread and butter of Pokemon.
 
I want a Shiny app which tells you where the shiny pokemon is in the cave, tall grass, water, etc.

Uh...Shiney encounters don't really work like that. I think you mean something to help you with RNG abuse.
