Not that this would save the average person from litigation hell, but does Nintendo actually have a legal leg to stand on? What would make a (free) mod any different from any other artistic expression?

Also assuming the mod creator didn't do anything crazy like rip assets from an existing Pokémon game.

It wasn't free is the problem. They were selling it on patreon from what I have heard.

Ah, thank you for that context, I didn't see any mention of Patreon in the article.
