Pokemon fans, wanna get good and mad?

[Shadu]

I'm not worried. Whatever. Nintendo won't let this pass. And even if they did some how, I have a feeling it won't hurt Nintendo.

 

[badreaper74]

Well, this is stupi-

Wait, is that a fucking GREEN SANDSHREW?

TAKE MY MONEY

Thats what i thought.

 

[Squidbulb]

It looks like they just redrew them with puppy dog eyes.

 

[Kriptonite]

Uh... good for them? I didn't even know this game existed before opening this thread, so I'm fairly sure they're not going to be particularly successful.

If they do succeed in this, then I fully expect Nintendo to take legal action.

Well, so much for the original thought I thought I had...

Pretty much this.

Why would pokemon fans care?

Also don't japan kinda lack copyright laws?

They won't get sued.

I agree with what was said above: If the plagiarizers are in China, then only thing Nintendo can do is have the game taken down from any store based out of Japan and most western nations. China is a wasteland when it comes to copyright, where any original IP will be copied without consequence. I even heard of people at CES this year seeing their own designs, that have barely made a public appearance, being shown as ripoffs a few booths over from their own.

Though, I don't mind anything that draws Nintendo's legal attention away from Youtube. Then again, a thing like this might put them in a a state of paranoia where they see anything featuring an Italian plumber as an infringement on their copyrights.

I don't know why Pokemon fans would really care. (They seem to be one of the more civil fanbases out there.)

I do know Japan has plenty of copyright laws. They just started seriously cracking down on anime piracy a few months ago, with some heavy punishments. Nintendo's lawyers, in and out of Japan, are probably furious they can't pick apart these guys, if they're in China or some other country that laughs at copyright requests.

I'm gussing that is from China or Hong Kong which bootlegging is pretty much a common thing over there. So overall I am not suprised by that at all (I seen tons of bootleg Pokemon merchandise when I was a fan).

 

[Auron225]

Wow. It's so utterly shameless that it's hilarious.

I sincerely hope that Nintendo can sue them into the red but I guess we'll have to see. I wanna meet the people that honestly thought they could do this and nobody would notice.

 

[Twintix]

I can't get over those fucking googly eyes on the Starmie ripoff. It's like he's begging for death's sweet embrace. Or alternately, being found out while pulling a prank on somebody and going "Aw, maaaaaan"...

But yeah, this shit won't fly. They didn't even try to hide that they were copying Pokémon. There's one thing to steal and another to steal and leave a trail back to your house.

[Danny Dowling]

there's a lot of banned users in this thread. it's interesting, strange even.

I'll give it a look, I got bored of Pokemon a few years back but I still like it to a point, could be fun to play a rip off.

Also there's a Pokemon rip off for iOS and it has glowing reviews.

 

[Aerosteam]

Please close this necro'd thread. Quickly, before I die.

Also I got a good chuckle from this, with the faint aura of "my original character don't steal" kind of thing.

 

[TristanBelmont]

Oh yeah, these cunts advertise like crazy on tumblr. And generally, when things are advertised to hell and back, it means the publisher has no faith in it. Because it's bad.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Going by recent policies, Nintendo would probably let them be for 70% of their revenue or something like that.

 

[sky14kemea]

Man this thing is old.

I'm out of clever necro pictures now too.
