They've definitely already seen it, considering the number of fan projects with far less Internet notoriety that have been struck down over the years. As for why they haven't taken it down, my best guess is that they don't view it as a significant competitor with their official products. Regardless of how you feel about the process of putting together and testing competitive teams on cartridge, it's undeniably a very different experience from using a simulator, and battle simulators have none of the other things that make the official games appealing to casual players. Nintendo may even view it as a potential gateway to buying the newer games for people who haven't kept up in a while.

Nintendo is kinda weird in some ways with the copyright stuff
Like AM2R. That game was in development for many years and they only struck it a week after release, when it was already published and readily available for everyone. You can still download AM2R today, despite being technically shut down
btw I am finally back home. Man did I lose a lot of money. But I got my fill of adventure, I don't think I'll go on a trip for a very long time. Now I need to find a way to make the money back

In order for nintendo to actually DMCA showdown, they would need solid evidence that the PS team is doing at least 1 of the following:
1. Making a profit off of their software. This is what led to brick bronze getting shut down, because the game had microtransactions (albeit very few).
2. Using copyrighted materials. Although things like logos are easy to get copyrights on, it's far harder to get designs, and if they decide to crack down on their old sprites that have gotten released to the public over the years, PS just needs to replace them all with art, which would take time (enjoy the april fool's sprites for a while) but can definitely be worked around
3: PS is a software that actively helps pirate the original pokemon media. I'm mostly throwing this in for semantics (PS is obviously not handing out download links to roms) but this was the reason Yuzu/Citra got shut down. Yuzu, for regularly putting out updates meant specifically to improve performance for TOTK, as well as making money, and Citra, because they were able to cobble together an argument in court that if Yuzu was making money off of this, then Citra would be too.
Fortunately for us, PS has yet to do any of these things. There's no evidence PS is taking funds off the top of their donations, they don't plaster the copyrighted logo everywhere, and they aren't pirating anything. Until copyright laws change, PS will be fine.
You don't need to "get" a copyright, all creative works innately fall under the owner's copyright as soon as they're created. But it doesn't matter anyway because all Pokemon designs already have registered copyrights.
For example, Pokemon DMCA'd a Chrome extension once just because of using image files:
https://github.com/github/dmca/blob...f87246b4600921c218/2016/2016-03-07-Pokemon.md
This is also why apps like Poke Genie don't actually have any images of Pokemon included and just take pictures of what you scan in.
I asked this, and was assured that they wouldn't. Apparently, Showdown has asked permission to use songs, and were granted it.
Being a Kamala Khan fan must suck real bad. As best as I can tell as she seems like a really fun and charming character at her best and yet all she has to show for it in recent years is late-stage MCUslop, being the insufferably written protagonist of that one Avengers game that bombed and jobbing for shock value in bad Spider-man comics. All this while having to watch Miles Morales, the other big "next generation" Marvel hero rocket into the mainstream with a whole platter of insanely successful games and movies
I really like her and yeah, 100%
She was also a victim of Zeb Well's Spider-Man run. They killed her like 2 months before she got her already announced series. What the fuck is wrong with Spider-Man editorial man. Things are good for Peter now, but that won't last
btw if you never read comic books, read the 60s Spider-Man run. It's unbelievably fascinating and it aged sooooo well. It's rare to see art that remains fresh after 60 years. Not a single adaption, beyond maybe the Amazing Spider-Man movies, were comic book accurate (even if they were amazing in their own way). Peter's a rather multi-fascetted character and is one of the main inspirations behind basically every shonen protag of the last decades. And man is it a wonderful coming of age story
Similar to beef jerky
Sounds a Lot The Beef Jerky I tried a few days ago, it had spice of some sort sprinked on it, and when you took a bite, all the spice just fell off of it.
It's baffling to me that this ever happens. There are so many easy ways to get spice to stick to something!
Mhm, A Great waste of such, even more if your eating it over the floor...
Like agar.io? I remember loving that shit in 2014, but it's been years since I played it.
I remember this one io game in which u play as animals and u have to eat to become stronger animals and advance in the food chain. Can't remember how it was called tho
You may be thinking of deeeep.io... that game scared the shit out of me when I was like 12 lmao
Yea sorta that stuff, I still play some, that aren't fully dead, Agar.io is still a thing.
mope.io
