Having worked within companies with similar leadership structures and size it is no surprise that Mike could have been totally in the dark - when you grow so large middle management will intentionally keep things from going up the ladder, and those at the bottom become powerless - HR protects the company first, and HR…

Drove around Atlanta over the weekend and every spot we found a legendary we found 0 people (5 raids). I still believe that legendary Pokemon should be rare in the WILD so there can be that excitement of being able to catch it on your own as opposed to coordinating with 10+ people and still ending up empty handed. …

Tell that to companies that spend fortunes and years creating their franchises. Developers/individuals who choose to go through the proper channels to receive whatever permission they’re seeking with an IP are amazing - they are being professionals. They might not receive that license, but they are still being…

I don’t think that my statement in any way is an absurd escalation. You’re clearly speaking from a legal perspective, I’m speaking strictly as a creator. Agree to disagree. The absolute worst thing that can happen to your properties (in my humble opinion) is to see them taken by someone and used without your…

What happens when copyright/trademark law isn’t enforced though? Let one fan game through and a multitude will follow diluting the properties in question. Do you enforce some and allow others? How do you make that choice? At that point, companies making the decision to license their properties to fans would have…

As a creator, I would never allow someone to take my IPs and do what they want with them without first consulting me/receiving my formal approval, fan or not it isn’t acceptable to take work someone else has paid for and use it as your own. I applaud them for doing their part as creators and protecting their…

In the eightish years it took them to make this I’m sure they could have given us their own original kick ass game, there’s really no excuse for using a property you don’t have the license for no matter how big of a fan you are. That is not the way you do business. It’s sad that we have such talented people in the…

I’m hoping the series has some stronger shorts, or some longer episodes. If they adhere to a 5 minute format I don’t really see this working well, they are trying to sell a story that many viewers aren’t familiar with without explaining what’s going on or having a desperately needed exposition. I definitely agree with…

amen. that’s why I requested a refund, also using timed items and having the servers go down causing nearly all of them to be wasted - I probably got 15% of the time from my eggs and lures, not to mention how many encounters glitched out and cost me balls.

understood - I would venture to say that the knee jerk response is more of a boiling over in the community, the removal of the tracking was the straw that broke the camerupt’s back, and opened the floodgates, as it were.

You’re entitled your opinion, but I will say that when the game released, I was getting together with friends/local groups regularly to play because things worked (ish). Now we don’t really have any interest in going out - we kept trying and the game became more and more frustrating to play as we began to have a…

Keeping high hopes the quality of the official release animation is as great as I’m thinking it will be from the stills they released - The motion comic look they have going for these preludes could use more time and polish - looking through the comments on their facebook page they have a legion of let down fans…
