Well no shit, it's copyright infringement. That's what DMCA Safe Harbour provisions are there for.

There are plenty of Pokemon mods for other games on Nexus, as well as other mods that incorporate copywritten content.

I’m guessing they just got scared off after that guy got a dmca for making a Pokemon mod, even tho part of why they did was because they were paywalling it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

This is currently a very high-profile game where the focus is being "gritty Pokemon," so mods like that would be far more noticed.

Yeah, it's hard to blame Nexus Mods for not wanting to poke the world's most litigious bear.

Haha, OK fine, how about "a particularly litigious bear, though not as litigious as Oracle, which is the world's only known lawsuit-seeking jellyfish: a completely mindless creature that instinctively sues anything that touches its tentacles."

Someone made a mod to fuck the pokémon, or if they haven't already, they will. People are fucking weird.

[–] taladar 34 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, some are even weirder, some made a legal department to fuck over their own customers.

I didnt know Weird was a pokemon name.

Since Lickitung is a perfectly normal pokémon, I am a bit worried about what they'd call "weird".

Game kinda already has that implied. One pal's description says that pal is looking for a night of love and at first it was only going after other pals, but eventually started chasing humans too. I'm not kidding.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Even real Pokémon has things like humans marrying Pokémon in its lore. Not at all a surprise that the "Edgy Pokémon" would push the boundary a little further.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I mean there's a literal playboy bunny pokemon. Gamefreak is definitely aware of what they're doing
