Fun fact: nintendo can't take down mother fan games because the ip is owned by itoi. They also never took down any kirby fan game, probably because that is made by hal, and the only fan content they took down was a +18 card game of chef kawasaki in a bikini


Gogan_Studios

They took down the WHAT.


Filon73

WHAT THEY TOOK DOWN SORRY


KingstonDaGamer10

Dude I was literally just thinking about the Kawasaki game a few minutes ago before I saw this post! WHAT ARE THE ODDS


Elcalduccye_II

>kirby fan game, probably because that is made by hal, But they had taken down also Pokémon fan games (Pokémon is made by Game Freak ) so I think they can


Miserable_Assist_951

Iirc it's usually game freak/pokémon company that do that


Moon_Dark_Wolf

If I remember. When they struck down Pokémon a brick Bronze. The developers said it was directly from the Pokémon Company and not Nintendo.


DDoodles_

Isn’t mother also Hal?


Miserable_Assist_951

Yes, but the ip is owned by itoi


Memegamouth

You guys remember Super Hornio Bros and Oversexed Eeveelutions? Still mad about it.


KikonSketches

Is super hornio bros that flash game of princess peach?


Turbobist28

Nah, it was a porno Mario movie that Nintendo bought so no one would publish it.


KikonSketches

Ahhhh gotcha


Breadbugtheepic

They bought it?


ToxicPoizon

Yk they can't really take down SF, SF2, or SM64 R96, because those are also downloadable. If they were to take it down, somebody is bound to reupload each time (maybe from different sites, like google drive, mega, dropbox, etc.)


CJAdams1107

Nintendo also mostly only takes down fan games when it's very similar to a game they're working on


Wubbzy-mon

True, like (unfortunately) AM2R


BOty_BOI2370

Besides am2r, what other games did they take down that was similar? I'm genuinely curious.


DannyBright

There was some Mario Battle Royale game that was very similar to Mario 35


Toy_Bonni

Five Nights at Wario's


Elixir_13

What're the two Pokémon ones?


Wubbzy-mon

Pokemon Insurgence is the most popular fangame currently, and Pokemon Showdown is competitive Pokemon made by fans, with a large community.


Elixir_13

Does Insurgence play like normal Pokémon games?


Wubbzy-mon

Never played, but it takes the general idea of Pokemon, and makes a bunch of new Pokemon, and takes the pixel art of Ruby/Sapphire and Black/White to mix it.


Elixir_13

Thank you


Moon_Dark_Wolf

Big Pokémon Insurgence fan here. Plays like Pokémon. with a story that far exceeds everything. It’s also not like difficultly rom hacks that shove competitve BS down your throat. Notable things of interest: Brand New Megas (Eevee, Marowak, Flygon, and Hydregion) Delta Forms of OG Mons (Ice and Electric Ralts, Fairy Psychic Bulbasaur, and Fire Grass Greninja) Armors for Pokémon (Tyranitar, Leavanny, Zekrom) NEW PRIMALS (Arceus Regigias and Others) And the villains are amazing. Even New Moves


Elixir_13

Now you have my interest. But is it still a turn based game?


Moon_Dark_Wolf

Yes, still the same turn based Pokémon game we all know and love. The difficulty options do determine the future boss battles. Like I think on normal mode after gym 4 everyone starts slapping Items on their Pokémon. But on Hard mode they have more competitive balanced teams earlier and their much more difficult. Personally, I’d recommend new players start with Eevee because it’s by far the best Pokemon in the game thanks to its Mega Evolution buff, and the only downside is carrying eevee to gym 3. But by then you get access to a move tutor that makes it comically overpowered. The game is incredible, and I recommend playing on Dark Story Mode. The story even extends to the Post Game and there’s so much to see and do in the game. You also get a secret base to help with training levels in later parts if you’re a nuzlocker playing their dedicated nuzlocke mode.


Elixir_13

Thank you for all the info. Turn based games bore me to tears (I need a bit more engagement than just hitting buttons and watching things happen without further input), but I may still check it out.


Moon_Dark_Wolf

Don’t blame you, but this game more than made up for clicking the button in turn based action because you never know what people are going to do next in this story. I never thought a Pokémon game where people fucking die and cults run rampant would be such a fun idea.


Jack_Of_The_Cosmos

It’s still a turn-based game, though the other person is hyping the story of the game up a bit more than I would. It’s serviceable and on par with other Pokémon games with darker, but not necessarily mature themes.

Bros never played pokemon brick bronze!

Just_a_Soundwave

Pokemon Showdown is an online battle simulator that lets you customize teams (you iust pick pokemon and their moves; no breeding, TMs, etc) and battle other players. Buncha different options if you wanna experience competitive battles, or less serious goofy stuff.


M64bros

No matter, whenever Nintendo takes down, something that creation still remains available and so do the re-uploaded videos. Which leads me to very interesting theories about Nintendo's DMCA bot/team in Japan


meelosh96

For every way gamefreak/tpc sucks, I gotta hand it to them: they support their competitive scene and seem to appreciate fan projects (evidenced by gen 9 seemingly taking inspiration from romhacks etc)

BLESSED MAN REMEMBERS THE POKÉMON INSURGENCE!
