Doubt that as they already had one

Not too great they don't go into more detail. But good it at least got a million

How truthfully recanting can be if it keeps happening

If it is a one of instance I agree but if what is said before it true it has happened multiple times with other things. Once can happen but two of more and it gets suspicious. I d9n't follow him too much so don't know the exact things that happened. Just saying I can understand scepticism

Spouting nonsense and then recanting can only bring you so far. Especially if you are known as a person that works out every detail for your videos

I get scepticism if it happens more often. Especially as things he brought up are core terms in the whole discussion. Especially SBI being a gamergate 2 dogwhistle. It is okay to still be like: okay but do better than this.

He responded on it. Weird post to make anyway from him

It won't yet be the next day in Japan it will start at 22:00 in Japan on the 12th.

Just to show how very special the timing is :P. Especially it being the longest ever

I checked all dates for friday, saturday/sunday. Total 27 presentations (regional and pokemon ones included. Only 6 of these were worldwide and a friday. Of those 6 only 1 was a general direct in 2013 (wikipedia list, didn't check timezones).

Tbf the 35th wasn't that big either.

Definitely not just a coincidence as they could have simply done today like a normal direct. I think the only one before was when in certain areas the one from march 8/9th 2018 was broadcasted

35th got a presentation. A direct on a friday is special, but even more so: it ends just before the actual birthday date in Japan. So it isn't weird to expect announcements surrounding the anniversary in the direct. Especially as it is the longest ever.

if from those past 39 years we look at the amount of times they did presentations we only have the 30th and 35th. The 30th was included in directs with special bundles, amiibo and mario maker.

@thehashtagonist.bsky.social did they make a mistake with the mockup? Isn't it localthunk?

Balen, maar met de comments over Outlaws niet heel verrassend meer :c

To be fair this has never happened in this way. Only wii sports had more as every console came with it. Botw had a very blvery short period of more than 100% but this rate after multiple weeks is pretty unprecedented.

Copyright is just confusing but as you said they are pretty happy suing. So I don't expect these kind of things to be done without due dilligence. The screenshot only shows fair use protects from c&d not that the owner of the original work can't use it

This is when someone makes original art. When using a copyrighted/protected character it is different. Otherwise people could just make mickey mouse movies even before the design got in public domain. As the art is then created and protected but it doesn't work like that with characters like it

Yes so technically Pokémon can c&d all fanart because a pokémon design is theirs. Fanart technically infringes on copyright so like I said it is scummy to do, but they are very likely in their right

Because of the clause and it being technically their IP with Ho-Oh being their design. They are technically not in the wrong. With how stubborn TPC is with literally everything if this was a management decision they wouldn't have reversed it

Of course it can be the case it was done maliciously but having some experience with TPC: they wouldn't have changed their stuff if it was on purpose.

With the way I think it happened is the file of the fanart was saved by an employee. Either to highlight on socials, for personal use, to show colleagues etc. That art moved somewhere in com0any folders without a marking it is fanart.

They want a relative simple hooh design and find this.

There are a 1001 reasons fan art gets added in reference materials. A likely one is that someone saved the art and someone else found it and thought it was official so it was included in the materials.

The way they responded made is very unlikely it was like: trace this fanart

Regarding fan art. Yeah it is kinda scummy they are able to copy it, but it was not on purpose here or they would have just kept it and point to the clause.

Again the ppint I was replying to was crediting the artists of cards and that Nintendo is not the deciding factor Which they did.

Yes I know, I also know Palworld designers were asked to copy parts of Pokémon designs. But all that is irrelevant for this discussion about crediting artists. I just said Nintendo is not an almighty controlling interest at TPC. They have influence but can't decide alone.

Nintendo has some of the patents from the series. The games started as being a part of Nintendo. They don't have final say in if the company credits artists.

Also what does your screenshot have to do with the discussion? Crediting hired artist vs a clause about them being able to use fan art freely

The Pokémon Company and Nintendo are two very different companies. Nintendo has a stake in Pokémon but doesn't decide.
