Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I'm so behind on Pokemon that I genuinely can't tell if this is a Pokemon or a Pal.
Issa pal
As someone with minimal pokemon knowledge, only played two due to being older and not having Nintendo consoles really, I thought this game was a spin off till I realized no big pokemon or Nintendo logo anywhere. They must have threaded the needle to avoid that copyright infringment.
As long as the mods are free (can't monetize on IP) most mods should be legally safe from copyright. But I'm not a lawyer so not sure how this works.
Nah, once you start distributing the mod, be it free or not, it's copyright infringement. They can't sue you for the profits made, but they can still force you to take it down and pay reparations for any potential damage to their IP, as stupid as that may sound.
So the pokemon mod for minecraft can be sued and taken down?
It actually had been, yes.
