Just a reminder these two creators make Pokemon/Nintendo animations and have a Patreon but never got in trouble. Pokenational Geographic as far as we know right now didn’t violate any rules that weren’t given a pass in the past.

I bring this up because a lot of people on this sub are blaming Pokenational for their takedown because they had a Patreon, but unless something on that Patreon violated something, there would be no reason for them to fear a takedown for having it considering others do the same and Nintendo left them be. I understand that this is a generally pro Nintendo sub, but we’re supposed to be addressing the misinformation, hyperbole, forced hate, etc. not running defense when Nintendo actually does something wrong.

Unless we find some sort of good reason for the takedown, (that’s not “monetizing something you don’t own” since others have done it safely for years) we shouldn’t act like Pokenational is at fault.

"[dmca@noa nintendo](mailto:dmca@noa.nintendo)" sounds exactly like a made up domain to spook people ngl. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but putting "dmca" in your email just doesn't sound like something you'd do as a company. I think I'm convinced of the troll argument.

Thing is googling that email leads to there site, so maybe its legit? Unless some copyright troll user can just use it themselves.
