Relic Castle was a nearly decade-old site that provided links to hundreds of Pokémon fan games

      Thank you. Iirc, they were the main hub for the pokemon in rpgmaker frameworks, and for all the games based off of that. Shame.

    Nintendo is on their way of becoming one of the worst companies of the year for the fans. Fucking hell…

      Nintendo has kind of always sucked as far as passionate fans are concerned. Their products are some of the best out there, sure, but they are ruthless.

      Playing devil’s advocate, they’re just protecting their IP. Problem is they can’t spend resources or time figuring out who is or is not profiting from their work, so they just stamp out all the bugs in the house that get big enough to be noticed. I guess, I really don’t know.

      It’s the highest grossing media franchise of all time, what sort of question is this?

        It’s called a “rhetorical question”. Glad to be of help.

  • 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
  • 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
