Video Description

DidYouKnowGaming looks at a handful of interesting Pokemon fangames that ran into legal trouble with The Pokemon Company and Nintendo's ninjas. We speak to several hobbyist developers about their experience having their projects impacted or forcibly cancelled.

A few source links are omitted due to legal concerns, so as to not draw unwanted attention their direction. #pokemon #pokemonfangames #fangames
