    Yeah no shit, though. Nintendo is excessive as hell with this, and Pokémon in particular is a franchise they protect like nothing else. Is it still the highest-grossing IP overall? No wonder they are onto anyone using it.

      You mean to tell me that Nintendo don’t want their kid friendly mascot waving guns around.

      I don’t know, sounds an awful lot like 1984.

        Mario + Rabbids

        And let’s not pretend that Pokemon isn’t a glorification of actually fighting to solve things and go up the ladder…

          There’s a bit of a tonal difference between an unrealistic, brightly coloured cartoony hand cannon not unlike mega man and an AK47. Just saying.

          The thing is, Nintendo puts a hell of a lot of effort into pretending exactly this. Not to mention the similarities to IRL various animal fighting tournaments that are absolutely fucking barbaric.

          edit: changed comparison slightly. The Rabbids guns are even more cartoony than I remembered.

      Nintendo really is the Disney of video games. They had a solid idee 20 years ago and never did anything with it, except add more animals, because they know people apparently buy literally anything with a Pokémon on it. And now they are mad some nobody made a game people actually like.

          I’m not saying that it’s right and they are wrong to go after that guy. But you know very well that they heard pokemon like game that is a huge success and they have all their lawyers behind it, to find anything they can.
          I’m not big into pokemon, i played the red one 20 years ago and their game was not original at all. For me it was final fantasy 7 but you catch animals to fight with.
