The lights are on
[Update]
Apple has removed all three games from the App store. If you ended up buying on of them, you can request a refund through your Purchase History.
[Original Story]
Buyer beware. One of the top-selling apps today on iTunes is a fake Pokemon game.
Dubbed "Pokemon Yellow," the game doesn't even work and is in no way related to the official Nintendo product. The app was uploaded by Daniel Burford of Home of Anime late last week.
"Shoulda read the bottom comments before purchasing, this is a scam. Crashes after main screen," read one customer review. The same company also recently uploaded fake versions of Digimon and YuGiOh+.
We contacted Nintendo and Apple for comment and when or if the Apps will be removed.

That's sad:( I'm gonna go search it
People are so stupid when they buy apps (like android style lock screens) that are clearly fake without reading the reviews first and then they complain about it afterwards.
Dang, I saw the Pokemon logo and got excited. Maybe that's the effect that happened to the people who got scamed. "OH Sweet Pokemon Yellow! HERES MY MOENY!" lol oh well
The *** is the point of it
Saw this app yesterday. I think people kind of have this coming if they don't read the reviews, and in some cases when "fake" apps are put up that clearly state what they do in the description it is really annoying when everyone demands their money back in the reviews, but this time the app dev just blatantly lies on the description, even putting up fake professional reviews, and that is just completely out of order.
What a Dick.
LOL! Good thing I don't have anything Apple brand :)
Damn Black Hat Hackers... >:(
