How big would the saltmines be if Nintendo and/or TPCi shut down showdown entirely and C&D'd the lads in charge of it to prevent it from ever being made again?

To go off of this, the creators of Showdown aren't making a profit from it, so TPCi has no real reason to give it a Cease and Desist.

I wouldn't be surprised if enough people chatting about Showdown could get it C&D'd, especially near a Gen launch, but Smogon could always just move back to PO or someone could just fork Showdown and make something new in a week that will take Gamefreak another 10 years to C&D.

VGC will still have the official ladder on Battle Spot, although it's going to be a pain in the ass testing a team before you decide to inject your mons.

Smogonbabbies are going to have a harder time finding a way to play their fan format, though it's not like there won't be any options. People used to play on irc bots back in the day, I'm sure someone will take the time to program a bot for discord that can do the same shit.

I've been in talks about the legality of it. Some people in showderp have talked about it too, and TPCi has only really said that they're watching them. It sounds like an empty threat but it's mostly in case they do something very unlawful with it or something they disapprove of. So as far as they know, it's not happening, and that was said as far back as weather wars.

They're always on shaky legal ground but I think the fact that it'd greatly anger the comp scene is what holds them back. The VGA players that use it to build and test are making them money in the long run so it serves a purpose for them to keep it around. Articles like this tend to be one of the things that pushes legal over the edge though so it'd be nice if garbage sites like Kotaku would stop propping up fanprojects in general.

Fan games have gone on for years only for a Koraku article to get them C&D'd. At this point it's become a consistent pattern, and its conceivable that Nintento lawyers look to fan projects getting press attention as a metric for when it's worth shutting them down.

This. They know that the VGC players practice on Showdown. They want them to; it makes for a better show at tournaments. Also right now Showdown is so dominant that there are basically no other simulators. If they cracked down on it, they wouldn't get rid of simulators, it would only send the players to half a dozen new ones that might actually try to sell ads or what have you, and ACTUALLY be a threat they'd need to shut down.
