Pokémon Say Tap? (Japanese:ポケモン言えTAP？) is a free mobile phone game for modern smartphones devices with iOS and Android, released promotionally in 2011. Its availability on theApp Store and theAndroid Market was limited from July 15 to September 30 for the former, and August 11 to October 28 for the latter. It also has a Browser version subtitledFor PC, which is indefinitely available on thePokémon Daisuki Club.

The application is a rhythm-based game based on thePokémon Trading Card Game. The goal is to tap Pokémon in rhythm to the music and sounds going on in the game. The song the game uses is the Japanese ending theme ofPokémon the Series at the time of the application's announcement,Can You Name All the Pokémon? BW.

Gameplay

The game's basic gameplay is to tap on the screen in rhythm with the song's lyrics. One Pokémon card is on the screen at a time, corresponding to the respective Pokémon of the song. As the time to tap the card approaches, the respective energy symbols of the card approach a circle; the more centered the symbol is on the circle, the more accurate the player is.

The game features two gameplay modes. One on which the cards and symbols appear, and one that the player taps based on just the sound. The player's accuracy is measured in points, and there is an online leaderboard for the smartphone versions.
