The battle mechanism is identical to an actual pokemon game.

Nintendo won't sue ROBLOX over a game created by one of its users.

They would only sue if

1. Roblox admin/mod/employee makes a game based on Nintendo w/o permission
2. A gear/hat that very closely references/is named directly after an item in a Nintendo game w/o permission
3. If they advertised Nintendo w/o permission

or something like that

Users are allowed to create/ recreate any game they want. Unless an admin or Roblox it self makes a game off of pokemon, it is legal and allowed. Users, however, can create as many Pokemon games as they like. UNLESS the company in question is stupid enough to try and stop them, which is so rare it is almost nonexistent.

I believe ROBLOX actually has a Contract to be allowed for their users to build any appropriate game they want. Only if ROBLOX themselves make it, then they can be sued.

Copy right law only affects businesses, companies, and piracy (creating something and selling it for REAL LIFE money when you really stole it). It is not Roblox making the games, it is USERS. They are exempt from copyright law, because they cant really sell it for REAL LIFE money.

That is where you are wrong. Roblox Corporation owns all the content on its website. You agreed to this in the ToS. Roblox can be sued if it allows players to make pokemon games.

It doesn't exactly allow anything. If Nintendo wants ROBLOX to not allow Pokémon games they'll ask that they are not created. They won't sue them because it isn't ROBLOX making the games, it's the users.

Simple.

there are hundreds of games that use Pokemon's gaming style, and even the exact same things, but just different stories.

Look at Pokemon Pitch Black and all those games.

People have done this for years on end.

And Pokemon has only ever sued one group of people and it was PETA. Only because PETA was all about dissing and joking around about how Pokemon is like animal abuse and making them fight each other.


And Nintendo couldn't tolerate that.

But Nintendo is like ROBLOX in the way that they want people to be developers. So they let all that go on, except the PETA thing.

And I am right. That game infringes upon Nintendo and Game Freaks intellectual property.

not something you'd be sued for
it's basically a fan-made game

Idiot. Roblox is making money off of the advertisements it shows NBC users. Nintendo and Gamefreak own the intellectual property rights to Pokemon. Roblox cannot hide behind the "a kid made it not us" to profiteer off of the Pokemon brands intellectual property.

With your logic, any kid who downloads a pokemon coloring page is breaking the law.
