>>44426662>If a fangame creator actually tried to make a copyright on any part of their fangame they would get the C&D treatment from Nintendo a la Prism.This is demonstrably false. A billion fakemon designs have been copyrighted and used for other bought-and-sold products before. You know fuck-all about what you're talking about.
>>44426724>You would have a point except for one problem. This is not a vacuum. In a vacuum, I'm in the wrong, no doubt about it. BUT this isn't a vacuum and there are other factors at play that shift the narrative.Military grade coping. No matter what additional context you want to add to it, when you take non-pokemon related artwork featured in fan games and rip it and encourage other people to use them, what you're doing is wrong. It doesn't matter what the fuck the art is for or where it shows up - you are stealing assets and peddling them.
