What the fuck is 4 thousand dollars gonna do for them?! It's not much at ALL for a company like theirs. Assholes.
Re: the pokemon lawsuit thing: People make money off BioShock all the time. The thought of suing someone for a party. Sheesh. #my2cents
Why do you think the number is important, exactly? This is a message. Plain and simple. That's the bigger issue to TPC.
It's a pretty shitty message then. What about the countless knock-offs you can find on the app store alone? All this does is piss off people that actually care about the franchise.

Uh, no they aren't? The game boy didn't have 3D or streetpass. They also innovated like crazy, Gold & Silver had a shitload of new Pokemon and for the first time ever the ability to go back through a previous franchise entry.. That shit hadn't been done before or since.
Anyone can see Red, Blue, Gold and Silver had more heart than the half-assed clones they spit out every other year.
Lol at people in this thread trying to deflect blame away from Nintendo as if TPC doesn't get its directives from them or have any influence from them. Nintendo own TPC and gives them guidelines and this is consistent with Nintendo's own practices
Doesn't have the accent over the E.yah....
yah....
The Pokemon company is totally going to sue a smal business in Middle of nowhere,Indonesia.
Difference is that one used official artwork, the other one doesn't.But it totally sued a small business owner running a passion-event for fans.
It was because of the official artwork in the poster (Pikachu and Snivy) and the official artwork (same Pikachu) promoting it on Facebook.Is this because he held it in his Cafe? What if I wanted to host a Pokemon Halloween party bash at my house, I make posters and spread it around my town; the Pokemon company have the right to sue me?
The money is part of the message. If there was no money involved, it would be a toothless C&D. How people would try to get away with similar things if there was no real repercussion?
So you are saying I can't make a poster or a Facebook invite about a party I am having at my house with official art work? Wtf or am I not reading this right?It was because of the official artwork in the poster (Pikachu and Snivy) and the official artwork (same Pikachu) promoting it on Facebook.
He charging money (even if it wasn't for his own profit) was also a factor, but the main "thing" was the use of the official artwork. Like 3-4 pages of the 10 pages lawsuit were about it and even with pictures of the trading card, artwork of Pikachu and Snivy along explanation of the characters and how Pokémon Works and TPC are the sole owners of it.
This generation considered..Can you really blame them? They have been slowly losing touch with their fanbase and grasping at anything they could for control over every money making aspect of their IP's. This will start happening more. Catch enough people messing up and it could be a lucrative venture.Holy damn, $4,000
Nintendo wasn't mentioned once...
Nintendo had nothing to do with this.
TPC are separate from Nintendo.
Pokemon Company has autonomy and can sue on their own, make mobile on their own and deny things from companies on their own. They even deny Nintendo on things, so Pokemon amiibo are used less than most other amiibo. Heck, the Pokemon costumes in Mario Maker don't even get their sounds.
This is all TPC and nothing to do with Nintendo. I don't like what TPC is doing either.
nothing to do with Nintendo, Hell Nintendo couldnt even get the use of pokemon sound effects in mario maker because of the pokemon company.
TPC is a different entity.
Da fuck is this nonsense? I know TPC is technically separate but it is still owned by Nintendo so I have no problem shifting the blame to them as well. Since they've also been known to have similar shit policies, it's not unreasonable to assume where they came from.
TPC made this decision, not Nintendo. It hasn't anything to do with Nintendo.
Should Ford take the blame if Mazda sued someone for hosting a Mazda race party?Yes it does. Just like if Naughty Dog were to do something similar, it would still lie with Sony as they are owned by them. Even if this wasn't decided by the heads of Nintendo themselves saying "Nintendo is at fault" isn't the stretch people are making it out to be when the company they own is the one making the lawsuit.
But it's The Pokémon Company that covers everything when it comes to how the franchise is handled, not Nintendo. They're the reason why the Pokémon Amiibos are either not used in other games besides Smash or, in Super Mario Maker's case, why the use of said Amiibos are half-assed. Likewise, they're also the ones who handle the Pokémon mobile games independent of Nintendo (the only one that Nintendo is helping with is Pokémon GO). So yeah, Nintendo has nothing to do with this lawsuit.Da fuck is this nonsense?

Whatcha gonna do when TPC come for youI should make a Pokemon party at my house, and put some official posters every where

Learn to read before presenting shit like that as fact.The Pokemon Company is not a separate entity, its owned by Nintendo. Not sure where you guys are getting that they can do decisions on their own...they can't...it comes from upstairs at Nintendo.

Unless you go around advertising the party, charging a fee to pay (even if you don't profit) and such; and had it in a specific place and tied to another event (PAX).So you are saying I can't make a poster or a Facebook invite about a party I am having at my house with official art work? Wtf or am I not reading this right?
Read what? Other shit that people posted here that aren't facts?

Lol okCool
Anyway Nintendo does have a say on this matter whether it be through TPC or otherwise.
This is the equivalent of driving 6 miles over the speed limit and you get pulled over by an officer and get a speeding ticket. It may be technically within the officer's (TPC) rights, but it's just scummy.
I'm really beginning to dislike TPC.
I mean, I guess if you lack basic reading comprehension.Unless you go around advertising the party, charging a fee to pay (even if you don't profit) and such; and had it in a specific place and tied to another event (PAX).
Also keep in mind that Nintendo has been (and was?) at PAX. So, someone advertising a party after PAX with Pokémon artwork could give the impression that it was an official event. Many peoe are like that, just see the images, giveaways and $2 fee and go for it.
Cool

I have a hard time understanding all the people that defend companies that do stuff like this. I am not saying that they are doing anything illegal, but it still feels really petty and shitty.
