    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.

        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.

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

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

          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.

          Visability and liability.

          No one cares about 10k downloads to turn Fallout ghouls into Gengars, but turning a Pokemon knockoff into an actual Pokemon game is a bit different.
