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!

DMCA incoming.
Be prepared to add this to the list of games this year (AM2R is also in this one)

What...?
*Looks over at the AM2R site*
Da heck happened? Why? I was looking forward to this. I loved the demo. Well, I hope he figures out something. Although there's not much to be figured out about legal issues. Maybe this means that Nintendo themselves are planning a new Metroid 2D game? I dunno; odds are they are just defending their IP.

I swear nintendo is starting to act like $ony it's one thing to sell the game but this isn't the case here anad nintendo hasn't been this aggressive against fan games before why don't they go after the source (Pokemon essentials)

Crystal says nothing extra is needed for wine on linux

He used RPG Maker XP, so it won't happen. :/ It's basically Windows-only software and there is no Wine for Android(Even if there were, it would be painfully slow on most phones since it would be an emulator instead).

Here's a macOS tutorial, it might be useful for Linux users too, since it's basically what you need to configure on Wine to make it work.

I am actually finding better framerates using this guide. So it's old, but it's still helpful
But the game still seems to work without the need for this guide and it could just be related to my hardware.

 

[LoganK93]

Yes, unfortunately it does. It's not full screen like AM2R, it's more of a slightly bigger window surrounded by black and shifted to the left.

Thats very dissapointing, as it makes it either very small if not fullscreen, or about as large as "medium" window size in fullscreen, but very blurry and with a good portion of the left half of the screen cut off.

 

[Abcdfv]

Yeah, I am expecting a cease and desist. Although, they could easily get around it by simply changing a few things and making it a "Pokemon inspired" game

Jokes on them, it's already released and in the wild. This isn't like someone announcing they're making a game and gettin a C&D before they even had anything worth showing off. They can C&D all they want, but it's not gonna stop existing now.

Why the heck would anyone spend 9 years making a mediocre Pokemon fangame that will just get taken down anyway? At that point, stop and put your skills to something productive like your own unique game.

But they actually did make their own unique game. It just happened to be a Pokemon themed game

 

[SonicRings]

Looks cool, but was hoping it could be played on DS. I find very little incentive to sit at a computer to play a game such as Pokemon. Feels like it was meant to be played on handhelds.

"themed" is a funny way of saying "stole the assets of", but ok. We're talking about a "unique game" which outright uses the Pokemon logo.

A unique game with inspiration from a franchise is Undertale, respectively receiving it's inspiration from Mother.

I am still technically correct. This is still a unique Pokemon game.

I would it play on a handheld hope it will be ported..

There is an RPG Maker XP interpreter at Play Store.

Well, this tutorial is nearly two years old by now. I think it should work out-of-the-box on newer Wine(Latest stable is 1.8.x while this tutorial had been written when Wine stable was 1.6.x), but if someone still uses Wine 1.6, they might need to follow that.

Last time I used Wine it was at like 1.4 O.o

IIRC Pokémon Essentials(used on this game and Zeta/Omicron) uses some weird Windows-only behavior, so it would need an update to add those hacks.

Holy crap, when was the last time that you used Wine on Linux/Mac?

Dont really remember. It was with Ubuntu though. Years ago tho. Haven't felt the need to use it ever since I use two separate computets, and one of them has Windows. And I also have a couple Linux VMs on the Windows PC and Windows VMs on the Linux PC.

If Nintendo doesn't aggressively protect their IP by shutting down all these fan games, then they are at risk of losing that IP.
Blame the shitty American legal system more than anything else.

 

[Sizednochi]

9 years for amateur designs and sprite work, cringeworthy story and bad framerates. Nuclear pokemon, seriously?

Yeah, framerate is a huge issue.

 

[Swiftloke]

Oh, wow! So this is what Electric Mudkip has been working on! I'm gonna have to play it just to hear his music
Also, I keep hearing about Nintendo taking down fan games. Why is that legal? What law is it?

 

[KazoWAR]

Why do alot of these Pokemon have copy/pasted cries from normal pokemon?
