ohSwervo Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I was watching a YouTuber earlier today discuss about how PokeMMO is the only Pokemon game to ever survive a cease and desist, is that true? It's really interesting to hear about Link to comment

Jaden Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I'm not sure if they did receive a cease and desist letter, but they would probably have someone research pokemmo before sending it and they wouldn't be able to find anything that infringes on their copyright awkways 1 Link to comment
RealMak Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Ironically, Brick Bronze was more popular than any other fan game and now its gone. I hope this isn't the case for MMO Link to comment
Lacei Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 The game operates in a legally grey area. The user is providing the ROM's and therefore the user is providing the copyrighted material. Everything PokeMMO provides is their own work and isn't copyright infringement. As for the cease and desist - not sure on the accuracy of that however it's possible considering PokeMMO doesn't break any laws. Andr3a281093 1 Link to comment
Quakkz Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 AFAIK it happened a lot of years ago and they were forced to change the names of a lot of gift shop items because of it, which happened like I dunno 2014 maybe, way too long ago to remember exactly. ohSwervo and Andr3a281093 2 Link to comment

I don't recall the video but it was something among those lines. Shawn3K 1 Link to comment
FighterChamp Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Well I also played PBB and it was the only reason I joined roblox back then coz it was very popular. But you shouldn't take it sadly.. Nintendo can't just let others use their stuff without their permission. Same happened to Pixelmon Mod Iirc and Some Mario type games too. PokeMMO survived it because it acts like an online emulator at the basic looks, it doesn't provide any copyrighted stuff, so we can play this game for years and continue our Boaring Grind as long the Developers are willed to continue their Emulator. ohSwervo 1 Link to comment
