Microsoft is much more strict about rip-off apps in the WP7 Marketplace, I've noticed. Funny how Apple says one thing yet shows us the complete opposite for the most part.
They may have been mistaken for those unofficial game guides, something that in itself, is surprisingly aloud to be sold for actual money on the App Store. Pretty bone-headed either way.
I still can't understand how this got Apple's approval.
A friend made an app and he had to re-submit it twice.

FUCK WHY WON'T NINTENDO ACTUALLY DO THIS. I'M ALREADY PLAYING THE ROM ON MY PHONE. I hate what nintendo has become but id have no problem throwing them some cheese from my childhood
Geez, apple, get your shit together. Also, I hate how some awesome games aren't avalible in the chilean app store. Damn you, steve jobs.
Oh god. I am literally CRYING because of how hard I'm laughing. This is hilarious! Look at the reviews on the app store. Everyone is shocked that this is fake!
"Oh, a Pokemon game not made by Nintendo but by some guy I've need heard of! Well, DURRHURHURHUR Pokemon on iPod, I'll buy it!"
"Wait, it doesn't work?! Why has Pokemon betrayed meeeeee?!?! Lol xD hbcnensud dbxj"
Yeah. This is part of the reason I hate Mobile games/gamers. Their stupidity.

I always wondered who was stupid enough to fall for this bullshit. Then I remember that I bought a "Starcraft Rom" for my iPad. Effin scam
The 'Apple Mobile Gaming crash' is long overdue.
Nobody messes with Pokemon. I hope Nintendo sue them like noone ever was.
It's pathetic Apple haven't learned their lesson by now and invested some of their ridiculous earnings into actually VETTING the content that gets put up properly...

In Britain, the Pokemon Yellow App got to No.8 in the overall App sales chart. I don't know what that says about consumers, whether they are really stupid, or really want a Pokemon game on their iPod to the point where they'll believe anything.
The game is currently off the charts now, meaning that lessons have probably been learnt, but I'm the presentation of the game on the app store doesn't give away it's falsehood, meaning that I'm gonna assume that the demand for Pokemon games is the main reason for this sudden interest.

This is all kindsa silly. I can't really see how that many people would think someone went through the effort of creating a Pokemon Yellow clone using HG/SS sprites. The whole thing looked shady. The press quotes in the description didn't even cite sources.
MOST INCRIMINATING OF ALL of course is the fact that you can't evolve Pikachu into Raichu in Pokemon Yellow, and you can't catch other Pikachus in the wild. You've gotta trade 'em.
Slightly ashamed of myself for noticing any of this.

I think the people who bought this who knew enough about how suspicious this looks deserve to get cheated their dollar.
The people who still bought it after the reviews are fucking stupid. People who thought it could be legit without reading reviews are fucking stupid.
nintendo should really take a cue from this and do it. I have a gameboy, but it's so much easier to just use an emulator and have the games along on my ipod.
If they put even pokemon red up, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

This looks like something very common on Appstore, looks like that thing is run by monkies, smoker monkies.
I actually saw this while I was randomly browsing. Friggin hilarious. I wonder who handles the acceptance process.
The fellows at Qeab are looking into the crashes, you'll be happy to hear.
For a moment, just a moment, I thought this might be legit and I nearly needed new pants. I clearly would really like Poke/Digimon games on my phone. Now I'm just crushed =[
I really want to see what this thing looks like, but I don't have an iPhone, or money. Plus, I have Blue. Suckers.
Pokemon Yellow is currently #2 on the Top Paid Apps on the NA App Store...
...
And yet awesome games like Sword & Poker disappear for unknown reasons, possibly from the developer going out of business. So many angers.

It's #2 in the UK as well. People are STILL buying it? Despite the reviews? And the improbability of Nintendo's involvement?
My previous theory is slowly, but surely, turning to shit.....

I have experienced poor quality or copied apps before but this is galling. It not only puts apple in a very poor light but is insulting to apple customers. If people are continually allowed to copy, steal, and cheat customers on the app store, I and many others will want nothing to do with it as the problem will certainly get worse without severe intervention on the part of apple. I hope quality assurance efforts are improved in the future and I will refrain from purchasing future apple products until they are. Apple, I am disappoint.
P.S. Didn't buy it, just tired of this garbage.

making actual working versions of those games for ios is not that hard you just use a emulator and make it auto load the game or something like that and you would basically have a perfectly working pokemon, it amazes me that it doesn't even do that.
I love how every review on the App Store is something along the lines of "I WANT TO PLAY THIS, FIX IT", with pretty much nobody noticing the fact that "House of Anime" is not Nintendo.
This actually reminds me that there are lot of people who know nothing about video games. They might remember names and stuff like "I remember playing this as a kid/teenager", but dont realize the company who made it would never release it on this platform.
I even had a friend who once said "Wouldn't it be great If they'd re-release those old Mario games on PS2?", and he wasnt some sony fan with Nintendo-nostalgia. That was pure cluelessness.

*sigh* again. Apple DOES NOT do copyright check for the dev. is UP TO THE DEVELOPER to get the copyright of whatever it wants to publish. Apple can't confirm if the dev managed to get the copyright or something like that. they might do, who knows? it is, however, against the iOS Dev TOS to use copyrighted material. If apple receives a takedown notice they will comply, they will shut down the dev account and the dev might get sued over it, but apple has nothing to do about it.
@ Fernando
The main issue is that Apple does not seem to do a good enough job of regulating their own marketplace.
It could almost be said that they essentially help facilitate fraud.
There are always the one or two that manage to slip past the radar for long enough, but given Apple's track record thus far, it seems more a case of lax approval process. I'm pretty sure Apple has to "approve" of the app in the first place before it can be hosted and found on their marketplace.
Even the lowly simple pawn shop has to run a check to make sure they're not accepting stolen goods.

Apple: they'll block apps with emulators for 20 year old hardware but won't bother to screen games with blatant copyright infringement.
Good job.
Good job.
@fernando with that logic web sites arent responsible for users uploading copy right suff and shouldnt try and removing them either. Yep
