iOS is better on many things, whereas Android is better on many things. It all depends who you ask. My mom for instance could not stand her Bionic, so we switched it for an iPhone 4 and she says it’s the “best computer I’ve ever owned” to quote her exactly lol

What I don’t understand is how anyone can say you can’t like something because I don’t like how it works, so you can’t either. Complete stupidness. What does it matter to you if joe shmoe likes iOS? It changes nothing about android except for google wanting to try a little harder on the next update to convert mr shmoe. Competition is good, get over it lol

It would make them plenty of money if they charged a set amount per game downloaded and offer it on all platforms, not just iOS. And if it’s like you said, game freak makes the game, it wouldn’t cost Nintendo anything to do this, but would make them money. I’m 22 and would download an repay for almost every single Pokemon game again if it were to come out on ios for $10 a pop.

When it all comes down to it, you’re right, not that much month would be made off of it, but I fail to see how it would do anything in the way of costing them more than they would make.

It’s actually only legal if you get them yourself, downloading them from a third party is illegal. Very common misconception.

It’s always amazed me how people can be so stupid as to think these are actually real apps.

A title as big as Pokemon would not just randomly show up one day on the app store for a dollar. Really people? I think you deserve to swallow that dollar lol

Its wrong to make generalizations, I’ve owned both, I currently own a Jailbroken 4s. I wont be going back to Android anytime soon. There’s nothing wrong with Android but I personally prefer iOS Jailbroken or not. Anyways like I was saying, Nintendo needs to stop bullshitting and bring Pokemon to mobile OS’s. I dont care for their hardware anymore.

Not illegal if you have purchased the game legitimately at some time.

emulators themselves are not illegal, its the ROM’s that are

Do you know what Android is? I generally think people that have you used both cannot possibly say iOS is better…..

Nintendo makes the hardware and (in the case of Pokemon) Game Freak makes the software. Nintendo makes almost nothing off the system (if not selling at a loss for new systems) and makes all of their money off accessories and game licenses. Pokempn for iOS or Android wouldn’t make nintendo anything. That makes no business sense at all.

Going by your logic Apple should stop making hardware and focus software!

Sometimes it just makes sense to sell both the hardware and the software. By the way, of course you’re only going to see kids with 3DS’s, but who do you think are going to buy pokemon games? KIDS!

Cut out the cost of making your hardware and focus on software which is already popular (I only see kids with 3DS’s, I see everybody with an iOS device’s and for some reason Android device’s lol. They’ll make even more than they are now.

Let’s see. Nintendo sells consoles and games. If they require you to buy their console to buy their game, then they have just made even more money off your fandom. Not only that, but now that you have a console you’ll need other games for it. Created by developers who pay Nintendo even MORE money. How is that a stupid business move?

Its up to the company that owns the rights to sue or get the app pulled. Not Apple’s job.

Nintendo would be stupid not to bring it to iOS. They would make so much money off that. I guess they dont care about that.

What happened to Apple’s vaunted review process? If you can get a fake Pokemon game through the system and it rises to #2….what’s the chance of other undesirable stuff stalking unsuspecting App Store users.

Search app store for pokemon… 55 pokedex fair use type apps..search market… 571 sound boards, emulators for GBC… etc… mostly infringing.

Funny… Cant find any YouTube downloaders in the market… Is it possible the only IP Google gives a crap about is their own?

Edit: nope found another similar junk app in the app store, pokemon attack.
