Yeah no shit, though. Nintendo is excessive as hell with this, and Pokémon in particular is a franchise they protect like nothing else. Is it still the highest-grossing IP overall? No wonder they are onto anyone using it.

You mean to tell me that Nintendo don't want their kid friendly mascot waving guns around.

I don't know, sounds an awful lot like 1984.

Mario + Rabbids

And let's not pretend that Pokemon isn't a glorification of actually fighting to solve things and go up the ladder...

There's a bit of a tonal difference between an unrealistic, brightly coloured cartoony hand cannon not unlike mega man and an AK47. Just saying.

And let’s not pretend that Pokemon isn’t a glorification of actual fighting to solve things and go up the ladder…

The thing is, Nintendo puts a hell of a lot of effort into pretending exactly this. Not to mention the similarities to IRL various animal fighting tournaments that are absolutely fucking barbaric.

edit: changed comparison slightly. The Rabbids guns are even more cartoony than I remembered.

Nintendo really is the Disney of video games. They had a solid idee 20 years ago and never did anything with it, except add more animals, because they know people apparently buy literally anything with a Pokémon on it. And now they are mad some nobody made a game people actually like.
