Did Pokemon even get featured on the App Store? Once your name recognition is big enough, traditional marketing is just rounding error.

I can't remember for certain if it got a banner feature but I think it did.I agree though that it had very little effect on the success of Pokemon GO as a large amount of people downloaded when it was still in soft launch phase and before it was properly featured by Apple.

Just checked and here in the UK Super Mario Run already has a banner feature and is top of the new games we love section despite not being available yet to play yet

It did, but long after it was already popular.
