A fraudulent version of the Game Boy Color classic Pokemon Yellow has somehow made it through Apple's approval gauntlet and wound up on the App Store. Published by "Home of Anime" with Daniel Burford listed as the author, the "game" runs for $0.99 and has a one-and-a-half star rating after 1,352 reviews. According to said reviews, the app crashes after the title screen and cannot actually be played.


as for pokemon pocket edition its only a gallery of pokemon screen shots

Milanovic’s description of the app reads: “Marking the Pokémon series’ glorious debut on the App Store, Pokémon lets you verse and play as everyone's favorite Pokémon, Pikachu, around awesome lands.”

The app description continues: “using the stylus to control your favourite Pokémon, zip across land and sea—even through the air—on a mad dash for the finish line”.

The scam puts into perspective Apple’s existing publishing guidelines and approval processes. The iPhone company’s general laissez-faire approach to content regulation has led to numerous game clones syphoning revenues from legitimate revenues.

Nintendo should seriously just realease Pokemon on the app store. It's the perfect device for it aside from a gameboy

Same. But it's pretty buggy/crashes sometimes. Nintendo is missing out on a market here, some people don't wanna buy a gameboy, but hey if it's $10 on there phone why not?

keeping pokemon exclusive to nintendo's console is probably the smartest move they did
