I am always reporting these types of projects and rom sites and sometimes they took weeks to notice them.
This is satire right? Did i miss a good copypasta somewhere?

No.
Really dude? Really?Finally they did something.

Yes. Why not?
You sure make the world a safer place.No.
In the past I worked with software development. So I hate this type of thing.
It's a free program where people made free games through an creative outlet they love. It even helps people learn how to make games. They're fan games, they don't eat sales of the official games and if you think otherwise that's incredibly foolish because it's Pokemon.

Not with your subjective opinion, but with facts.It's a free program where people made free games through an creative outlet they love. It even helps people learn how to make games.

Love how you think me being north-american invalidates me. Real classy.
Nice '''''''''''''''''argument'''''''''''''''''''.
Take your condescending shit some place else. If you want to make a pokémon fan game you don't have to rip off assets.
Okay.Take your condescending shit some place else. If you want to make a pokémon fan game you don't have to rip off assets.
Oh dear I'm a victim?! Abloobloo wah wah I'm triggered.Not with your subjective opinion, but with facts.
In this case, they used original assets, who are protected. So they are wrong.
And did not say that the fact that you are a north-american invalidates you, but north-americans usually thinks that they are victims on very random things, like this one.
Nice '''''''''''''''''argument'''''''''''''''''''.
Well, I made a serious post and you came trying to ridicularize me.
The problem I have is that Sega supports their fan games that use their assets. Sonic Mania wouldn't have existed if Sega acted like Nintendo.Well, I made a serious post and you came trying to ridicularize me.
It is ok to not agree with me, but please, post facts or in good faith, it is very childish the way that you answered me, and now you are generalizing and taking what I posted out of the context. And this, well, this is you acting as a victim.
You can very well think that what Nintendo did is wrong, but in the law, they are right. So...

I really don't get what the first part of your post has to do with the second.In the past I worked with software development. So I hate this type of thing.
I'm told you should "take your condescending shit some place else".You keep on reporting these transgressions, noble warrior. I mean, since asset rip-offs on play store are an issue, so must be all this!
It is ok to not agree with me, but you should not be angry because of a random stranger on the internet. You will not change my mind either.Who the fuck cares about that?
We're long past the "can they do that?" phase. It's whether they should. Whether there's an actual benefit.
But good. You were involved in software development in the past and apparently have seen the dire consequences that free fan games based on decade old titles pose for the multibillion dollar companies and fan bases alike.

You do realize that all you do is hurt the community right? Like Nintendo and The Pokemon Company gain nothing from taking down these tools.
If they didn't, then why go the route of ripping off assets in the first place? Again, all of that could have easily been avoided if they had worked on their own assets.
I'm even an expert on mods but I'm sure that's not the case.
You're telling me that all those Skyrim mods were they changed the head of the dragon for Thomas the Tank Engine got permissions from Bethesda?
My point is mods are an accepted form of entertainment that'll always be around. Fangames will always remain whether Nintendo want them to or not. I think it just created bad publicity and is unnecessary to bully smaller developers like this who couldn't possibly compete with your official product and obviously doesn't intent to.
Again it's a free game created by fans.. Free.
Do you have numbers to support this? Like, official data. I would like to see that and perhaps change my mind.You do realize that all you do is hurt the community right? Like Nintendo and The Pokemon Company gain nothing from taking down these tools.

All this talk about assets makes no sense to me.
Are you telling me that if the spritework was original, even if they used the same characters and locations, it would suddenly be ok with you?
Wow, what the fuckFinally they did something.
I am always reporting these types of projects and rom sites and sometimes they took weeks to notice them.
I expect they're going to try and take down all fan art and fan fics next? Can't have those fans using your IP, right?
Hey, fuck you.Finally they did something.

lmao
NoA is in the wrong already, why not be even more in the wrong next time? It's only natural after sinking so low.Yes this is clearly a precursor to Nintendo doing this absurd ridiculous thing. You nailed it.
I completely agree.Of course not. The same people would then complain that it's still illegal copyright infringement and NIntendo/GameFreak/TPC are still in the right to take it down. It's just that portraying this as an asset issue first and foremost makes them look more favorable for defending these corporations' takedowns.
When the fan devs would use self-made assets we would just see the goalpost move further towards "just don't make it a Pokemon game".
But these assets existing and being part of the existing Pokemon games is what makes them so appealing, to begin with. It's not like well-seasoned developers are the ones creating these games. It's largely fans with comparatively little game development and programming experience that dabble into all this and very few ever get anywhere of note. Without easy access like Pokemon Essentials you don't get a lot of people to even try. Rom hacks are another matter but just about all proper fan games are based on Essentials.
As a sidenote, a certain fan game's devs made a gen7 sprite pack which looks excellent and they let everyone else use, too, just as they do with their entire game. They only ask for credits, of course. It's rather wholesome and to think that all this is considered a major net-negative by some...

You cut off the part that directly dealt with what you were saying regarding Skyrim mods using Thomas the Tank Engine material. Which I've addressed as a major problem with mods, when people start to take copyrighted material from another company.
Looks like a more compelling story than anything Game Freak has written. No wonder Nintendo was shook.
NoA is in the wrong already, why not be even more in the wrong next time? It's only natural after sinking so low.
Whoever is making these decisions needs to be fired asap.
Why exactly I need to grow up? Because some knucklehead NoA executive went bonkers and decided that fan games need to be exterminated?lol Nintendo isn't in the wrong and nobody needs to be fired
Grow up

And you just basically said that fanart is illegal.Because you do not have the right to appropriate someone else's IP for your own designs. You are not entitled to the use of someone else's IP. If you make something using someone else's IP and they allow it to exist then it is by their own grace. You are not entitled to anything. If you want to make a Pokemon game go purchase a License from Nintendo
This DMCA craze with NoA started about 2 years ago. Someone has to be calling the shots, be it an executive, directive...
Maybe they're going to release a Pokemon version of Mariomaker in the future.I get Nintendo wants to protect their properties, but holy shit, this isn't hurting anyone, especially them. These assets are over 14 years old for fucks sake.

But without evidence, no chance at all.
