UPDATE: September 27th, 2010
Pocket Frogs was recently updated with a new feature for frog collectors: the Froggydex. This tool allows you to pull up a checklist of every frog you've collected. This addition is likely to have completionists obsessively breeding amphibians to fill up their Froggydex for a very long time.
Other improvements to the game include bug fixes and the ability to change the background of the Nursery habitat, plus a new frog type. These incremental updates are exactly what keeps social freemium titles alive and so far Nimblebit is on the right track with their Pocket Frogs approach.
Up to this point, social gaming has mostly been about keeping your farm healthy. Nimblebit duo Dave and Ian Marsh decided it was time for something new. Their answer is Pocket Frogs, a spiritual successor of sorts to Dizzypad.
Pocket Frogs is all about collecting, breeding, and trading frogs with friends. Whether you want to sell happy frogs for a big profit, collect rare varieties, or fulfill orders from various computerized customers, Pocket Frogs has something for you.
Hanging out at your pad.
The variety of frogs is nearly endless. From the get-go there are many colors and designs, but when you breed frogs (giving you one out of a random pool of up to eight different frogs), the possibilities become endless. Luckily, once you own a frog it can be cataloged for purchase down the road.
A big part of the game is the “pond”, a Dizzypad-style microgame where you try to eat dragonflies by catching them in the air as you jump between two lillypads. Occasionally you’ll come across another frog to breed with or gift box, containing money, a free full-grown frog, accessories for frog habitats, or a stamp.
Pocket Frogs’ freemium model is as optional and non-intrusive as they come. From the in-game store you can purchase stamps, used to send frogs to friends or speed up the delivery of an item bought from the shop, and potions, which instantly grow frogs. These are also available by other means as well. All in all, you aren’t at a disadvantage by going the free route.
Half of those are probably poisonous.
Besides the ability to send your friend a doodad for their habitat and frogs, Nimblebit also made it possible to visit another player’s habitats. While we found that some habitats weren’t available to visit at times due to server issues, this is a great idea.
Another awesome feature of Pocket Frogs is that you don’t need to be online to play. Once you connect back via a Wi-Fi or 3G connection, the game automatically syncs your progress.
One disappointment was that we couldn’t cross-sync data between platforms. We’d love to take care of our frogs on an iPad at home and iPhone while on the go. However, at the moment you must have a separate game going on both devices.
Pocket Frogs certainly holds its own against FarmVille and Ngmoco’s We Farm and We Rule, and it's also far more creative. Plus, it doesn’t require you to be attentive every second of the day or suffer the punishment. In other words, Pocket Frogs takes the obligation out of social gaming for a more enjoyable experience.

I play a lot of different games since I got my phone and I loose interest pretty fast in a lot of them. I got this game last night and thought it was going to be the same as everything else for me. I would play for a few and the move on. I was soooooo wrong. I could not stop playing haha. I went to be 4 hours later then usual.
Of all the freemium games that are out there, I certainly like this one the best. Once you get to start playing with a multitude of frogs and different genetic combinations, it's a pretty rewarding game. Honestly, though, I'm pretty much over the whole freemium model. I absolutely refuse to perpetually shovel real life money in to things like virtual stamps, and I get frustrated by only being able to effectively play a game for five minutes at a time - so these games don't have enough consistent satisfaction for me. I wish they'd make a pay version of Pocket Frogs that retains the genetic manipulation sandbox aspect of the free game, while dispensing with the frustrating bits.

Okay, I love this game, but know I'm not playing it right. I've a question or two. Number one, how do we get the frogs that are in the awards sections (the collections)? Must we breed them? and if so, how do we know what to cross breed with to get, example how do I go about creating a "pretty in pink collection". Or do we just find them in the pond? Help, like I said, I love this game, but don't think I'm playing it right..
You breed the frogs, you don't find them in the pond.
