There's a cure to this "Pokemon" problem...
Posted on: 09/30/25 12:11PM

Pokemon (and to extension, Nintendo) is in hot waters recently, they didn't just made dogshit games, but also had beef with their competitors who beat SWSH in term of sales. But I found a way to stop all of this, and I'm not asking for a boycott.

Please watch these videos fully before casting a judgement. I'm not usually shill something, but I think this is the most effective answer.

And look, let's not say that it's "impossible", all while using anecdotal fallacy or other meme worthy horseshit, I know what you say. Because this isn't the first time that Pokemon or even Nintendo lost a case. They lost the case against Germany for the whole refunds fiasco, they also lost against a supermarket smaller than Nintendo in size of budget, and the whole ICE situation. They're not a unstoppable force despite what many people will tell you, don't inherit such thoughts or else you have teenagers crying on a SMB fangame that this will take down. You HAVE the right to do this, you HAVE the power. As consumers and fans who doing this for the sake of criticism against a bunch of people who abuse the industry for the sake of fiscal results. If fucking EA allows fangames and mods, like, see the entire CaC and PVZ category, then you know the true evil in this world.

I know this isn't me, I'm not usually do this entire preachy revolution or whatever, but I don't want everyone in the industry, even the indie scene will be hit by lawsuits after lawsuits over the most basic stuff you could think of. And that I also don't want the entire monster capturing genre to be "just Pokemon". The Pokemon Company is the true cancer behind all of Pokemon, with their lack of care with their developers to snake behavior. And that Nintendo is an gaming fascist doesn't help this case at all.
Let's stop bury our heads in the sand and actually dare to speak up. Even if you don't want to participate out of lack of care, at the very least you can recommend this to anyone.

Sorry, I'm not watching 4 videos, but Nintendo being litigious is not new, they've always been that way. They even tried to get the Game Genie removed from the market, but the court said "nope, it's not infringing!" ( See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lew..._Nintendo_of_America,_Inc. ) They also included a lock-out system to prevent anyone making cartridges for the NES except Nintendo and filed a lawsuit when someone did it anyway. I'll give them a pass on the lock-out system for the NES, if they'd let anyone and everyone make cartridges for it the video game market may have never recovered from the crash brought on by all the companies shoveling out absolutely shit games for the Atari 2600.

I'm not defending them, I think they go way, way overboard and from the outside looking in Nintendo seems to hate their most loyal customers and fans. Just pointing out that this really isn't new for them.

They won't delete it, but they might close it to new replies.

I'm aware of that fact, to add to this conversation, afaik they were also taken a part of the "vidya causes violence" group to take down Mortal Kombat from the market because Sega had a way better port than them. It's how ratings were a thing in the first place. To prevent a situation like this.

I mean, as long as the discussion in hand is civilized, there shouldn't be any issue. I think.

Legal Mindset, seen some of his stuff before. Will check them out on my commute to work tomorrow.

4th video was taken down

Do agree on the issue of license holding. Copyright would inevitably fall into the issue that everyone owns everything at some point. It'll eventually be near impossible to innovate and create without stepping on some grubby companies prepaid gameplay idea. I'm looking at you, Warner Bros and your "nemesis system"

This serves Nintendo right for lacking in they're recent games and charging for DLC of all cases. Them being in hot water is instant karma for them. Also Donkey Kong Bananza like really? The game wasnt even that great.... that's all i can say for them. Wait Swsh sold?....tbh last time Nintendo were great was on the 3ds........

if this is about praising Palworld,I ain't gonna be involved...all all I care for Ninty to change for the better is a change in the global president's position...Furukawa isn't what I hoped for after all the things he's done up to this point...I also think of that vacancy at the american office, Bowser's leaving at the end of this year,but what's their next move with their new, yet to be named future top person?


I'm still considering to work directly with them,so I will NEVER incessantly bitch about the things that are illogical/unproven (even before that,I don't like to bitch about them badly, as I'm a loyalist to pokemon and animal crossing)..and blind hating ninty like a lot of ragebaiting youtube commentators do is about as bad as their entire life (seriously,their keyboard warrior shit is harming the entire economy more than anything else)


the main problem here is ninty's senile investors and shareholders...I think a large majority of them only hand out the free billion dollars,and not pro-consumer (the real investors and shareholders)

I'm probably gonna watch the videos later, but these seem pretty informative.

Nice job.
