Apple's App Store (and many other digital storefronts, to be fair) hasn't always had the greatest reputation when it comes to quality control. Sometimes it's not really Apple's fault, like in the case of one company cloning a popular game with enough tweaks to make it not an exact copy and releasing it to the App Store. In those cases I don't expect Apple to be fully aware of every game concept ever invented, and generally the more egregious clones get publicly shamed by the community as a form of punishment. Not that that prevents the cloners from becoming rich in the meantime, but I digress. However, oftentimes there are situations where I blame Apple completely.
One of the most famous examples of what I'm talking about is when a fraudulent Pokemon Yellow was released on iOS. The game literally did not function past the title screen, and obviously used art assets illegally. It wasn't until it had reached the #2 overall position in the App Store charts that Apple finally pulled it from the store. Even before the explosion of popularity brought on by Pokemon Go [Free], the Pokemon name and Pikachu in particular (who was featured prominently in the fake app's icon) are among the most well-known brands around. Even if you didn't watch or play Pokemon in any fashion, chances are you've at least HEARD of Pokemon and would recognize that iconic yellow rabbit/cat/squirrel creature, no" So how exactly did that Pokemon Yellow get by Apple in the first place, and how did it man...
