Pokemon Uranium Taken Down After Multiple Nintendo Notices

So to no shock to anyone, Nintendo had to go and ruin the party by sending multiple takedown notices to the creators of Pokemon Uranium.

After receiving more than 1,500,000 downloads of our game, we have been notified of multiple takedown notices from lawyers representing Nintendo of America.
While we have not personally been contacted, it’s clear what their wishes are,
and we respect those wishes deeply.
Therefore, we will no longer provide official download links for the game through our website.
We have no connection to fans who reupload the game files to their own hosts, and we cannot verify that those download links are all legitimate. We advise you to be extremely cautious about downloading the game from unofficial sources.

We are blown away by the response this game has received, and we thank you all so much for your outstanding support.
We will continue to provide Pokémon Uranium-related news and updates through our official channels.

You are welcome to continue discussing and sharing content related to the game on our forums and Discord, where there is a very active community.

Thank you for reading, and let’s share the love of Pokémon!

I'm rehosting AM2R and this game when I get home, to keep the links alive. But mine will have a 1MB dummy file to avoid being flagged for copyright.
I already uploaded am2r to mega and my link is still alive.

This might be the only fully custom Pokemon fangame that has been finished. At least it's the first one I've heard of. Definitely going to have to try it out sometime.

I don't think you know how much effort it is making a full-length RPG from scratch. Even more so when they have to make sure they adhere to the already established battle mechanics, formulas and such. It takes a medium-sized professional team years to do, and these guys' team is probably much smaller than Game Freak.
Most fangame projects of this kind are cancelled/abandoned long before they're finished, because it just takes an extreme amount of time invested into it to actually finish it. And they're not making any money from this, so they likely have day jobs or school to worry about as well, meaning they won't have as much time to invest into it.
Do it yourself, then complain

You misunderstand. I have no complaints, I am glad it is made and released, I was just surprised at the ammount of time and dedication, usually long lasting developement of games or things don't get made cause of is long time, consumption and possibilitty of becoming less and less time able to spend on it for many reasons negativly impacting it or just cancelling it. I do praise the project and effort dedication made to completing it. :)

I rehosted AM2R to mediafire already, and it immediately had a © flag on it. I'm at work right now, so I'm helpless until I get home to fix them.

I agree. Your thread should be front paged as well if this is. And when the Mother 4 fan made game comes out, that should also.
I don't think Nintendo could take down Mother 4 because the series wasn't made by them directly.

Actually I think it kinda is since they now own brownie brown/1-up (according to wikipedia) and also probably had certain rights as a publisher but after Mother 3 English ROM hack I do not think they will take action.

BTW, there's also a gender neutral option for those who are interested in that.
Please don't derail the thread over this information
*triggered*
gender neutral, cuz you know, with all that uranium and radioativity either your character turned agender or his penis had a vagina on the head :tpi::tpi::tpi:

btw, do pokemon mutate into freaks or something? cuz radioactivity and suff

I know I will get flak for this, but I am really glad it is not a rom hack as that would have limited what they could do with the game. By using RPG maker they have much more possibilities for the game.
