Who’s that Pokémon? It’s copyright strike!!

Everyone: Nintendo, no! Nintendo: What? Everyone: Sorry, force of habit. Pokémon Company, no!

I really wish KZfaqrs can start suing these companies for abusing the Copyright System.

Imagine being a KZfaqr and getting a cease and desist letter from Pikachu

reminder that the pokemon company considers a harmless self-imposed challenge to make your experience playing a pokemon game harder (nuzlocke/ironman challenges) to be on the same level as romhacking the games and they are 200% against you playing pokemon in the way you enjoy

I don't condome this behavior from the people behind my profile picture

Pokemon Company is literally trying to get no KZfaqrs to play their games Honestly I'm a fan of Pokemon but ever since Palworld exist, I just immediately gave up with Pokemon cause the games nowadays they make are bad and get less sales than other games

Japanese have stricter copyright laws and companies over there sue anything US fan-made.

The truth that nobody wants to hear is that there is no reason. Some guy at the top was upset or just bored, and did it out of pure power and goofery. Deep down, you know it's true. It's how all this companies really operate. They do whatever they want to do.

So basically their commiting fanchise suicide. Pokemon is already in a bad light.

Pokemon is mad they can't control everything that relates to them

And yet a 1000 E-girls can stream anime uninterrupted

“Pikachu, use file lawsuit!”

Pokémon company hates fun now, no surprises there.

This is why, despite how much I love Pokémon as a series, I have no remorse for pirating everything Pokémon related after Gen 4 (Aside from X and Y because there was no way to play pirated 3DS games when they came out) Nintendo and their adjacent companies are some of the most evil, anti-consumer companies in gaming.

PalWorld being like: STONKS! Pokémon now: YOU CAN’T HURT POKÉMON THATS ANIMAL ABUSE! Peta: . . .

They’re just mad fans create mods better than their new games

Another common Pokémon L

Pokemon has already been going down hill the last few gens. They don't need this added to their failures.

Gotta love how much the Pokemon Company hates its own consumer base with such burning passion.

In Japan, there is no such thing as fair use. IRL streams are dangerous, because if somebody comes out and says they didn't consent to being recorded, that can end the channel instantly. I think Nintendo as a Japanese company is trying to use what power they have in Japanese courts on people across the world. I'm no expert, but I did a bit of reading.

Wait I thought the nintendo yakuza would be involved they own Pokémon

Pokemon committing suicide.

but like why tho?

Feeling the heat from Palworld, they gonna try their best to milk their IP before it starts dying out, especially with them dragging out Pokemon by replacing Ash with a girl.

Pokémon, you used to be cool, until you turned into a tool

They took “gotta catch em’ all” to a whole new level

if youtube had a statue of limitations system on claiming a video for copyrights. Older videos should not be allowed to be copyright claimed since statue of limitations periods would of been expired.

Your last point is interesting. I wanted to present pokemon to my little brother, but I'm so disappointed with the franchise and I don't want him to like it and get disappointed when he grows up as well.

KZfaq's Copyright System is so broken

yeah im never supporting pokemon, watching the pokemon anime, or buying anything pokemon related ever again

I adore the world of Pokemon, I hate the company.

If I remember correctly, It’s fair use if it’s unique gameplay. So Basically, Pokémon is breaking the law.

Remember they consider nuzelocks (which traditionally doesn't even alter the game's code in anyway) modded gameplay. Yes, self-imposed challenges that don't even alter the game's code are not safe because players aren't playing the game in the intended way. What is the intended way to interact with an interactive piece of media even if we decided not to alter it's code? They can't even keep their officially licensed game guides accurate. I don't even know if they published guides for the newer games. Don't even get me started on the moves and item descriptions that straight up lie or fails to properly inform the player exactly what it does. It's not like we should expect much from a company that doesn't even know how to properly organize a tournament to stop players from using cheated in Pokémon. Which the players should do, because it's pay-to-win or at the very least an overly complicated time sink. All they had to do is give the players a rental team considering players already submit their team in advance to the tournament organizers. How hard can it be to make an officially licensed Showdown for competitive players to use for tournaments? They already made the Stadium games, this is the most logical way to expand upon the concept.

ah yes, Coppiritestryker, my favorite Pokémon.

Gotta sue them all!

Why did i immediately think Nintendo had something to do with this

PREPARE FOR TROUBLE! AND MAKE IT DOUBLE!

Considering the legal system, there’s a dicey take on games modding as free expression of creativity, but we’re starting to see lines drawn in the sand. Another reminder to back up your videos and files… the probability of getting snitched is now bigger than years past.

This 1 dislike was most likely provided by a Pokémon Company Employee, or a Stan.

I just got an ad for a Pokémon Minecraft mod on a video talking about Pokémon with Minecraft gameplay in the background

Weird way to call a pal, "poke-mon" ?

Pokémon!! gotta strike em all

And this is why we don't feel bad for pirating Nintendo games

imagine being a youtuber or a content creator for years, and some day years down the line, because for some arbitrary reason, you get your career taken away from you or threathened because of content that is super old and nobody had a problem with in the first place. this is literally just corporate version of diggigng up the N word people said years ago type of bs

welp, both this and the fact that they took down a fangame site has solidified it, I'm not buying Legends ZA or ANY OTHER NEW POKEMON GAME THAT COMES OUT

And then the Pokemon company wonders why people liked Palworld so much

ah Noahj456 a name i am well familiar with now in present times i don't watch him anymore but back in 2016-2017 i watched so much of his streams mainly BO3 Zombies with some custom zombies included in general i watched alot of the COD Zombies community back then but that's long time ago now he moved into games like Fortnite and Apex which i had 0 interest in and moved on i think he still does custom zombies sometimes sigh pokemon is just wack sometimes

Gotta strike 'em all!

Glad to see you back Optimus!

do the Pokémon Company believe that they got fans

Remember forum, Pokemon, of all places and programs, buys $250,000 worth of ESG/DEI and SBI hired employees to make the franchise WOKE. And there I thought the hush reaction on Palworld by TPC and the copyrights couldn't get even more worse...

It's def nintendo doing it

It took me way to long to realize what Optimus was building in this B-roll.

NoahJ!? I remember him. He had the worst zombies tier list of all time. Until he no longer has the worst zombies tier list

I see it from their respective, they don't want Pokémon associated with guns and if it really was Call of Duty zombies but with Pokémon I totally get where they're coming from to be honest, neither do I, I couldn't care less about people adding Pokémon to a game to shot at them so of course they gotta claim and take down those mods basically they don't want you to go around with a gun firing bullets at Pikachu and other Pokémon, they're very protective on their fransies after all

captain sparklez Pixelmon is definitely next

And these clowns wonder why pokemon is stagnating and Palworld did numbers

Again? And for mods made almost a decade ago? I feel like every year, some company who has a stake in the Pokemon franchise gets all mad when creators talk about Pokémon, play Pokémon games or games with Pokémon mods, or even write Pokémon fanfics on KZfaq. Them striking these channels without any real reason doesn’t help them at all. It only makes them look greedy or petty.

It's not just Nintendo sadly. Shopro does this too.

Vanoss and his friends have played on multiple COD Zombies maps with Pokémon mods so we'll see if they in particular get hit by the Pokemon Company.

Another W for Palworld enjoyers

Nintendo isnt targetting people but their subsidiary/partner (too lazy to google the financial relation but I know there is one) is

Digimon is better.

I really miss the gameboy/OG DS pokemon days ive seen vids on the new pokemon games all the new features dont really appael to me at all

Pokemon company cast harden

"seeing palworld exploding in success, Pokemon also decide to explode" -news title probably

"yooo i got a chariz-" BAN

Well this is BS. They need to stop this nonsense their doing to creators.

I'm so tired of people not understanding how copyrighted works actually function. Pokemon is one hundred percent in the wrong and are leveraging the tools that favor large corporations to strongarm smaller entities. Anyone can argue those videos are transformative, no one is claiming their copyrighted material as their own by playing pokemon-cod-zombies. But to do so is to take it all to court, and small groups can't fight that. It's just a shame there's not a class action lawsuit or SLAP equivalent for the damages to the lost time and accounts (and livelihood) interruption these people endure under a broken and biased system. Pokemon has no legs to stand on in trying to claim some random youtuber playing a game they didn't make is costing them money in any regard. It's just an attempt at a more powerful company trying to control the optics of their IP even when it's in clear parody grounds. Not that it matters, I've long since written off pokemon as worth my time given their and nintendo's anticonsumer history

It really is a whole new world we live in.

**BREAKING NEWS** Optimus has been hit by the Pokémon company

Palworld broke them...

tcpi has hired a new 3rd party to enforce things

Optimus fainted !

Look buy shares in the pokemon company and Nintendo, they copywrite your vids have a lawyer write them a letter as a shareholder/owner you can do what you want with "your" company property.

I guess they want Pokemon to die, cause between this and half-baked game releases, I think it's about to be on it's way out.

This is really strange considering how just the other day, Alpharad mentioned that they were perfectly fine with mods. At least when he was playing them so... what happened? Is it cause it's a mod for another game or something and not a Pokémon game? Is it favoring certain KZfaqrs or streamers? I have no idea...

Nintendo use copyright strike 😂

the ownership of Pokemon is split between Nintendo, creatures inc and game freak, game freak and creatures inc are the ones that made the Pokemon company with some funding and help by Nintendo but Nintendo is completely hands-off with Pokemon and let's game freak and creatures inc deal with everything Pokemon related, also, the Pokemon company is only responsible for translating the games and tcg into different languages, dubbing the anime into different languages, overall merchandise distribution worldwide and giving Pokemon their names outside of Japan for the rest of the world, so it's just game freak and creatures inc that are in charge of Pokemon overall

Idec tbh pokemon has been dead to me since S&S but i guess its the time of life again where i get to watch a company ive enjoyed over the years shoot themselves for greed then try to "make amends" with the fanbase wonder if it'll work again this time

pokemon company are beinging spoiled brats they need to grow sum balls and quit .also to the pokemon company smd and gth.

I ate some bomb taco bell rn and smoked some cali green.

This is grounds to sue the pokemon company and its an easy win for us.

Reason 3267 why i, a former NES fanboy in the 80's, won't give modern Nintendo the time of day, much less a dime. Don't feed the trolls, people.

This why it beast to move to palword

_"Protecting all pokemon worldwide. Yes that's right. You may not celebrate or enjoy what we created in any other way than we say. You the fan, are not respected. And never will be."_

This happens every so often, Nintendo/the pokémon company is such a soy boy about their copyright that they will do everything in there power to make sure their properties are untouched

I hope VanossGaming isn't next cause hes done the same.

technically still nintendo at the end of the day as nintendo owns the pokemon company

Nintendo was still involved not hard to make a phone call and tell them to start striking chanells

Another Pokemon L

I've played pokemon hacks that are on YT, links included on the vids, where they've taken old games and literally programmed new games and distributed them for free. Like I've played 100s and no ones ever had issues with copyright etc. It's weird that they'd go after this 😂😂

This is what people get for crying and pissing over Palworld and begging the Pokemon Company and Nintendo to step in and investigate them. Now they're looking with a fine toothed comb at other people's content. 😂

This why I despite Nintendo company, they have so much good IP and everything but just money hunger and garbage of a company

That just makes me want to purchase another copy of Palworld and boycott Pokémon from now on. And I’ve been playing since gen 1 came to North America

Optimus, is it possible to challenge a copyright strike?

The one big like ROFL move would be delete the video but then reupload it unlisted and just have the old videos then as a hidden archived content for the fans its like if you still get copyright struck at least you can have at the end of the day knowledge that if its a mega corp that did it they probably wasted a few thousand dollars on what chasing an archived unlisted video. XD. And its kinda proof that at the end of the day that the company doesn't actually care about their IP's if they are that desperate to burn cash.

They should stop wasting their time hurting youtubers and pay more attention to their games' horrible QA

Thats fine. Let them bite the hand that feeds them 🤷‍♂️
