There are plenty of Pokemon mods for other games on Nexus, as well as other mods that incorporate copywritten content.
I’m guessing they just got scared off after that guy got a dmca for making a Pokemon mod, even tho part of why they did was because they were paywalling it.
This is currently a very high-profile game where the focus is being "gritty Pokemon," so mods like that would be far more noticed.
Yeah, it's hard to blame Nexus Mods for not wanting to poke the world's most litigious bear.
Oracle?
Haha, OK fine, how about "a particularly litigious bear, though not as litigious as Oracle, which is the world's only known lawsuit-seeking jellyfish: a completely mindless creature that instinctively sues anything that touches its tentacles."
instinctively sues anything that touches it
yep https://violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/oracle
No, Disney
Someone made a mod to fuck the pokémon, or if they haven't already, they will. People are fucking weird.
Well, some are even weirder, some made a legal department to fuck over their own customers.
DMCA me harder business daddy 🥵
I didnt know Weird was a pokemon name.
Its a new type actually
Since Lickitung is a perfectly normal pokémon, I am a bit worried about what they'd call "weird".
Lickidick
Game kinda already has that implied. One pal's description says that pal is looking for a night of love and at first it was only going after other pals, but eventually started chasing humans too. I'm not kidding.
Even real Pokémon has things like humans marrying Pokémon in its lore. Not at all a surprise that the "Edgy Pokémon" would push the boundary a little further.

Common nexus mods L
I wouldn't fuck with it either, Nintendo is fucking ruthless
Nexus hosts tons of switch mods. I'm not sure why this is suddenly "scary".
Visability and liability.
No one cares about 10k downloads to turn Fallout ghouls into Gengars, but turning a Pokemon knockoff into an actual Pokemon game is a bit different.
that's fair, I suppose. But golly it makes game freak look weak. at least imho.
Mods for switch games aren't putting Nintendo IP characters into non-Nintendo games.
neither would I
