Infringement
« on: August 07, 2011, 07:23:03 AM »
I have a question, will the game get closed down shortly after being released by nintendo, or have you foun a way around that, i'm just wondering because nintendo can be protective over games.

There's no real reason for us to get closed down since we're using the money for servers, all the sprites are made by pixel artists and it's a whole different story and region.

Thanks for the reply, it's just that pokemon is such a big franchise i thought they might get protective over it, considering other pokemon games have been closed.

Like Monzta said PU should be safe because the artwork is made from scratch and there is no selling involved. The reason many other Pokemon mmo's  have been shut down by Nintendo is because either they ripped Nintendo sprites or accepted donations which Nintendo is not really fond of

 You think something like a shut down would stop the Team? Like Ez and Monzta said before, there really isn't a reason for PU being shut down, but if it does I believe there is a backup plan. So no need to worry.  :)

If i remember correctly, the back up plan is to change the name of the game, along with the names of pokemon slightly, so they would still be recognizable.

Hopefully we wont need to use the back up plan

although it really isn't that bad of a backup plan.

If the game only does a membership plan to support server costs, and nintendo is susspisious, nintendo will ask for proof, and hopefully, the game will continue. Nintendo will not screw our pokemon mmorpg THIS time.

However, they are in it for the money, not the customers, so we MAY be shut down if nintendo really feels like it.

Lets hope that doen't happen though, because that would be terrible by nintendo.
