Pokemon became the iPhone application at last

On July 15, the first iPhone application of Pokemon was released. "Pokemon Ie TAP?"
This is a music game for children. The player taps a screen to rhythm of Pokemon song "Pokemon Ierukana? BW".

However, it may be difficult for children because a tempo is fast.

Nintendo does not release social application and a social game until now. Moreover, they say that they will not release it in the future.
"Pokemon Ie TAP? "Is time-limited release until September 30. Can this application change determination of Nintendo?

For example, this hashtag is such a meaning.

Users who wants to join in this wordplay attaches this hashtag and Tweet a works. They are really funny! However, It's impossible to translate them into English...

These are my Tweets(Works)

#If "Younger sister" is put on the Japanese version title of the progressive rock number, they become like the title of the light novel 



I used King Crimson as materials :)

There are various themes elsewhere. This wordplay does not have a purpose, a prize and sponsor. In addition, we do not know who thought about what kind of hashtag. They appear all too soon and disappear all too soon.

It's a very interesting and funny phenomenon. However, I can't explain it in English. It's exactly only in Japan.
