Why doesn't Nintendo just take down Pokemon simulator/smogon

Because they're not that mentally retarded
Yes they are as or more autistic than most all of us here but even they're not that stupid to shut down something that lets people practice the meta.

Just like Netplay Melee.

No reason to. It's been around since forever and isn't exactly hurting the sales. Taking that down is the same as taking down a Pokemon image board.

But it uses assets from the game and infringes copyright.

The fanbase would go nuclear
Also Game Freak doesn't care about the Smogon Meta
Also this measure would be done presumably to bring compfags back to the real games, an audience they also don't care about because they will never be pleased by the games they're making

In what? Bulbapedia uses assets from games, such as models and sprites.
These things fall under fair use.

Because fanmade games hurt their sales ? Most normies don't even know they exist

Fanmade game is still a full game. It would normally fall under fair use, but Nintendo is just being a bitch with those.

-Showdown is open source which makes it 10000x harder to remove from the internet
-It probably can be argued as a fair use case which Nintendo has done enough of a good job looking like assholes over that
-Lose a lot of fans as competitive pokemon continues to grow in popularity

I imagine there have been several meetings at TPCI regarding the effect of Battle Simulators on their sales that have come to the conclusion that removing it would cause more drama with the community and alienate dedicated fans, many of whom are the type to buy lots of extra merch, which is where they get a huge portion of money.

Gets me thinking, Pokehacks uses the code from the games as a backbone right? If Prism was built from the ground-up then can Nintendo force a C&D on them?

Not surprised. I think Masuda knows about Prism and didn't seem to mind at all. Nintendo is what I believe everyone needs to watch out for.

Their own country's fanbase not playing it probably has something to do with it. I don't think they quite understand how much impact showdown has in the west.

It's pretty stupid that fan games like Prism get taken down but a game that literally copies the battles of the real games is free to do what it wants

probably because it's just the battles and nothing else.

You have no idea how fair use works. Bulbaped would probably fall under it but there's little argument that showdown does and not a very good one with fangames

Even just reading the Wikipedia article on fair use would tell you that, you should do it sometime. I think both SHOULD fall under it, but they almost certainly wouldn't outside of specific cirumcstances for the latter

Not him, but why do you care so fucking much?

It's a battle sim, it's not hurting anybody, and if Nintendo/TPCi really cared that much then it would've been taken down long ago.
