Thank you. Iirc, they were the main hub for the pokemon in rpgmaker frameworks, and for all the games based off of that. Shame.

Nintendo is on their way of becoming one of the worst companies of the year for the fans. Fucking hell…

This is not even remotely new for Nintendo, and is exactly how they have always reacted to fan games 🤷‍♂️

I saw a docu i think about smash bros. from nintendo, very cool docu serie btw, and the guys that organized the first tournaments got a letter or something that they where not allowed to organize such tournaments (mind you just fans playing the game in a bigger room nothing more) because, and here it comes, the game should not be played like that! Wtf.

(Ah yes The Smash Brothers 2013)

That doesn’t make it any less vile.

It’d honestly be hilarious if all the creators just started rebranding their fan projects with Palworld Pals (or any other similar IP). Start shifting the discourse away from Pokemon. I’d love that.

it makes it more ridiculous that people who don’t like this kind of behavior support nintendo at all.

Nintendo has kind of always sucked as far as passionate fans are concerned. Their products are some of the best out there, sure, but they are ruthless.

Playing devil’s advocate, they’re just protecting their IP. Problem is they can’t spend resources or time figuring out who is or is not profiting from their work, so they just stamp out all the bugs in the house that get big enough to be noticed. I guess, I really don’t know.

I would ignore Nintendo even if no one else did, they stink and their orbiters are annoying and shallow. At least the Disney adults go outside.

It’s the highest grossing media franchise of all time, what sort of question is this?

this is what baffles me. its already a huge hit, why bully fans for even more money?

im sure a big part of this success comes from fans doing things like that for free out of sheer passion for it, and nintendo just comes along to stop it…

Yeah it’s literally free marketing for them and they’re crushing the community.

It’s called a “rhetorical question”. Glad to be of help.

Thank God it wasn’t PokeMMO. I feel like they don’t have long, though…

I’m confused as to how that one wasn’t shut down years ago, but others like this have been.

They tell all of their users that they must have a legitimate physical copy of Pokemon Firered, which is what PokeMMO was hacked from

They are very clever in how they handle Nintendo IP. Firstly, you must bring your own legitimate copies of the necessary titles:

Fire red Black/white Heartgold/soulsilver Emerald Platinum

Then they don’t sell any Nintendo IP. Anything that is sold is either loosely based off Nintendo IP, or custom in-house design.

Granted, I’m still surprised it’s not been taken down somehow, but I’m over 1k hours into the game and I’m loving it.
