Can I play Pokemon games on iOS?
No you can not. The only way to buy these games is a console release which is for the Nintendo3DS or the Gameboy Color. Now if you OWN the game and console is it legal to emulate the game on a phone or pc. But this is if you own both game and console or otherwise it is illegal. While it’s been fairly easy to emulate retro games on Android devices for years, game emulators have long been banned from iOS and were one of the reasons users actively sought third-party marketplaces. For the first time, Apple has lifted these restrictions, making the App Store open to retro game emulators.Emulators Are Legal — ROMs Are Not (Always) These apps are essentially software interpreters — they simulate old consoles but do not include games. However, the games themselves — called ROMs or ISOs — are protected by copyright. Downloading a game you do not own is, in most jurisdictions, still illegal.
