One of the cool new additions to iOS 10 is the ability to use Stickers in iMessage to give messages a bit more visual flair. Super Mario Run already led the charge on these, and now it seems that Pokémon is getting in on the action.
If you look here on the app store, you can download a set of Pokémon stickers for $2. The popularity of Pokémon GO has made Kanto Pokémon much more popular now, so the set is oriented around sprites from Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow. Perhaps if this collection does well, we'll see more generations added later on.
What do you think? Will you make use of these? What other Nintendo franchises would you like a sticker collection for? Drop us a comment in the section below.

I would be all over this if I had an iPhone.
Add virtual console of Pokemon Red and Blue, then we'll talk.
@Pikmin22 I've been running the beta since July and upgraded to the full release last week (a reward for beta testers) on a 5C and it runs perfectly. I haven't encountered any glitches.
I don't know what it is —
I'm a sucker for this stuff. I took the bait. I don't regret it but I think it should've been .99 not 1.99.
This is like the badge arcade!
@HyrulianOfHyrule They HAVE been on Virtual Console for a while, where have you been, locked in a dungeon?
I recommend them if you have an iPhone. They are awesome! Can't wait to see what Nintendo and apple come up with next.
@PigmaskFan FYI I meant on Mobile, and thanks I've been out of that dungeon for awhile since the Legend of Zelda. To reiterate I would like some classic virtual console on my phone just saying
I miss that version of gengar
@HyrulianOfHyrule we have already on 3DS eShop. I have bought the three of them.
Ugh... part of me really wants these and the other part feels like $2 is a lot for the little over a dozen stickers it comes with... guess I'm gonna mull on it...
I've downloaded the Mario ones for my own enjoyment, and then some free Cat ones to use with my girlfriend. Doubt I'll get any more than that. I'm especially not paying for them
I don't have an iPhone, but if I had, this would be the most irresistible rip-off! I would have to buy this.
@PigmaskFan It was clearly about smartphones lmao, why would anyone be talking about 3DS VC on this article?
I agree to be honest, imagine Pokemon Red/Blue where you turn your phone horizontally and it has a d pad and buttons on the sides of the touch screen with the square game boy screen in the middle and the ability to switch between the original graphics and more colourful, FireRed type graphics at any time.
You could put it up for £5 a download and still sell millions after the Pokemon Go hype. Tbh Nintendo needs to start doing this with NES/SNES games too. There are so many Mario clones on the app store they need to take control, people would always rather buy the real thing.
iOS 10 is the smoothest update since iOS 7 from my experience.
I'd be keen for high-res images like I see in Pokemon Go, but I'm not that keen on the 8-bit stuff. It's cute, but not enticing.
@Pikmin22
Wise decision to wait a day. The OS itself has been nice, I was also on beta, but the over-the-air update process did give some people some alarming trouble yesterday. It was fixed yesterday apparently. When there's 100's of millions people downloading I guess these things happen
@Tendogamerxxx are you able to use them in facebook messenger at all, by linking it to iMessage somehow? I never use the iMessage at all, just facebook messenger
@HyrulianOfHyrule "Virtual console" is a feature on the 3DS and Wii U that let you play old games. I think you just want to say the words "video games" to be more clear in the future
@Pikmin22 I would wait until at least October to update. Personally, I'm still on the fence about updating to iOS 10 on my 5. Probably not.
@YouSeemFRAZZLED They think that Apple sells overpriced hardware, which their design and simplicity contributes to, has no gaming support, which is actually the developer's fault, not Apple's, and that the fanbase is entirely comprised of foaming, gullible idiots.
This is why I look down upon most Windows/Android people. They think they're better than everyone else.
@HyrulianOfHyrule Uh... What? There already is Virutal Consle of Red and Blue. Yellow too. You can get the on the eShop, and you've been able to since around February or March
