Congrats fool a another fan project that this website is responsible for being taken down

If you get Pokemon Showdown shutdown because of this stupid shit, I’m never reading another Kotaku article.

Problem is that in the US anyway, you need to protect you trademarks in order to keep them. If Nintendo sees this as beneficial the best thing to do would be to offer a free, and narrowly scoped license, but it’s often easier for companies just to shut things down.

If Nintendo’s lawyers have never heard of Pokémon showdown by now, they either live under a rock, or have been utterly incompetent for the past 10 years.

my guy, this website is huge within the pokemon community, there is a 100% chance nintendo and gamefreak know about it already

This article was posted 3 minutes ago, which means Luo should receive his cease and desist from Nintendo and the Pokemon Company in a little under an hour.

“Twitch trying to have it both ways, and they need to understand that there must be a line, and it needs to be drawn before something stupid happens.”

Electricity is fine.

I much prefer small streamers with 3, maybe 4 viewers and a bad mic who don’t have moneybanners covering half of the screen. They feel to me like they are there for playing the game, and if someone happens to jump in and watch - cool. I get tired watching the big guns act all in your face, high on energy drinks and…

I am fairly certain that twitch makes a ton of money for amazon. Unless you are a top top streamer the money you make directly via twitch is from ad-revenue, subscriptions and bits, and twitch takes a cut from all of that. They don’t actually pay 99.99% of streamers anything.

I expected this to come in Evil Week. Are we cancelling Evil Week? Please don’t cancel Evil Week. We like Evil Week.

So... don’t watch them?

I have purchased Lego Advent calendars and opened them with my kids for years.

yet you clicked this article? virtue signaling to the kotaku comments about how you are so above these streamers?

At some point soon, Amazon will want some type of return. Then just like YouTube, the Gold Rush will be over and only a few streamers will be left, along with the corporations.

#1 is. First order star destroyer, not a speeder, #2 is not a tie silencer, it is an upsilon class command shuttle, #6 is a resistance transport, 10 is a quad hopper, 11 is a death star turret, 23 is a gonk droid, 13 is a mouse droid, #17 is an escape pod.

Really surprised they aren’t using it as a hostage to promote their store, although I imagine it’ll be like GTA V where you have to install it anyway, plus they’ll be making more money from the online aspect than through sales.

That’s exciting! Now for your next trick Nintendo, can we PLEEEASE talk to our friends in-game without a 3rd party app? What kind of online complaining do we need to do to get that signed off?

Yeah i hope they do something like this to Smash too, seriously.

Dreamcast on-line had even more features and awareness than this

They’re also still used at nuclear power plants to page important people in case of an emergency.
