So I can't delete my own post, that's a weird rule.
Please some admin delete it.

There are still Pokemon fans around there? I thought kids these days were through with Pokemon and already behind the next big fad.

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.
You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.
Is it at least open source?

well, you are right.. Pokemon is just a game with silly monsters you have to beat.... Ohh wait o_OCrush wrote:There are still Pokemon fans around there? I thought kids these days were through with Pokemon and already behind the next big fad.
It can't be open source because Nintendo would sue them. ( I think.. not really sure)
Isn't it a problem anyway, regardless of the license, because you're using the Pokemon intellectual property?Keio wrote:well, you are right..

It would not be allowed to create an (open-source) Zelda game or a game featuring any of the other Nintendo characters, simply because they're copyrighted.

You wouldn't be able to create a closed-source game either. Unless you have permission, which is unlikely. If doing so, you would have to be very careful, or at least come up with a very good Fair Use defense.Simeon wrote:Isn't it a problem anyway, regardless of the license, because you're using the Pokemon intellectual property?Keio wrote:well, you are right..

Yes, it applies to closed-source as well of course - I don't think fair use covers such significant use of the intellectual property of others; after all, a lot of the game depends on that artwork.Falcata wrote:You wouldn't be able to create a closed-source game either.

It really depends on the manner in which it is used, but the defense will usually fail in these cases. Parodies, however, usually succeed in the fair use defense. It also depends a lot on copyright laws, which are different in each country.
