[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

In all fairness, if Nintendo and Game Freak didn't defend their copyrights, they could easily be losing money because of that.  It's the big projects that are in a grey copyright area and that catch their attention that they end up shutting down.  Uranium was one, Prism was one (they were partially riding off of hype for Go/SM as I recall).  AM2R was another (and Samus Returns was also just around the corner when AM2R was released).

I personally don't begrudge Nintendo and Game Freak for defending their copyrights.  At the end of the day, they're a business, and it also shouldn't be a surprise that they want to make sure they're getting the proper credit for their hard work. It's entirely within their rights to do so, even if it does seem a little pushy on (semi-rare) ocassions.

That's just my two cents on the matter.
