This is about patents, not about copyrights, for anyone confused. It’s not because some of the characters look like existing pokemon, it’s likely about game mechanics that Nintendo holds patents on.

Nintendo is one of the most litigious video game companies ever. I cannot believe it took them more than 48 hours, let alone this long.

Sure sure, I know Nintendo obviously doesn’t like them, but they gotta give a reason that matters.

More reasons to not give AAA corporations my money? Cool, cool.
