I wasn't sure the wii version worked. There is a portal made for iOS. I could be wrong about the wii version, though.

That is correct. The Wii portal has never been a Bluetooth portal.

I haven't got a PS3, but don't think that is a bluetooth portal either. You need the iOS specific portal to connect to an iPod or iPad.

You can pick them up on Ebay for 15ish bucks last time I checked. Most places still have the whole battlegrounds pack for 30 or 40 bucks.

Gamestop has it for $40 last I checked and that's the only way to get Royal Double Trouble and the platinum treasure chest.

I'm fairly certain the Toys R Us by me has it for thirty bucks. So that's worth checking out, also. Does the platinum treasure chest do anything different than the regular treasure chest from the pirate adventure pack?

Also, if I use an adapter (generally called an On The Go cable (usb a female to micro-b adapter)) will that get a portal to work with the games on my android device? I don't want to have to buy a mobile pack since it comes with an IOS game and I have an android device..

So far, there is no portal that works with Android. The bluetooth portal only works with iOS and, as far as I know, there is no other way to connect a USB portal to a mobile device. I don't know of all the Android devices, but is there even a way to connect a USB for input from other sources? I figure that even those that have a microUSB port is only for charging and/or syncing with your computer. It would be able to read data from other devices. And even if it could, I'm sure there would have to be drivers involved. The only portal that ever worked beyond the console was the XBox portal. It was supposed to work with the PC if you could get the driver for it, but I never could get mine to work. I'm not even sure if it would be supported, anymore, now that Skylanders Universe is shut down, although someone may have the driver out there, somewhere.

The Android apps don't support a portal at this time. It's not a matter of getting the hardware talking, the iOS portal pairs to my Android tablet just fine, but the apps don't even try to talk to it.
