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.

What a jerk. I hope this dude gets hit with at least a fine
Well at least people are now getting there money back.
Hmm thats a very mean thing to do i can't believe he did that.
I want to know the legal ramifications on Home of Anime and Daniel Buford. There is bound to be some.
What does the guy get out of this? Hopefully everyone will gets a refund.
[Update} No surprise it was pulled, still waiting to hear about a lawsuit.
The latest episode of Family Guy was right. People don't read much nowadays.
I herd Nintendo has assassin ninjas...
There is nothing that makes me madder than seeing a great product which lots of time went into making being renamed and run through the mud and sold by someone who is to lazy to get a life and earn their own money
thank goodness, these where insults to the real ones. good riddance
Wow. I wonder how much money they got.
Fuc#$% lame, who would do this, that company should be black listed as well as everyone working for that company. Get those a-holes out of the industry, they should go sell street
drugs, thats a pretty shady business, they seem perfect for it.
Take That, Apple. That's what you get for open-sourcing your platform and then doing poor upfront moderation of the contents.
That's why you should always read reviews.
That's just screwed up to take advantage of people like that, Hopefully people get their money back and things are taken care of.
dang what a rip off
