General Pokemon Uranium Illegal ?

[Yashin 5]

Its crazy that these guys have worked hard for about 7 or so years and to only have their game taken down in a few days. Wouldn't this game be covered under being a parody ? From what I see, the only thing they're using is the concept of pokemon, and the move set.

After receiving more than 1,500,000 downloads of our game, we have been notified of multiple takedown notices from lawyers representing Nintendo of America.

While we have not personally been contacted, it’s clear what their wishes are,
and we respect those wishes deeply.
Therefore, we will no longer provide official download links for the game through our website.
We have no connection to fans who reupload the game files to their own hosts, and we cannot verify that those download links are all legitimate. We advise you to be extremely cautious about downloading the game from unofficial sources.

We are blown away by the response this game has received, and we thank you all so much for your outstanding support.
We will continue to provide Pokémon Uranium-related news and updates through our official channels.

You are welcome to continue discussing and sharing content related to the game on our forums and Discord, where there is a very active community.

Thank you for reading, and let’s share the love of Pokémon!

Well no, copying a game's design and concept is one of the biggest copyright claims there is. If it wasn't there, companies would lose a lot of money
