Nintendo shuts down PokéNet?

Anyone else hear this? And sorry if this is already a thread about it, I searched.

Yeah, aparently they are planning to re invent the MMO with a non pokemon title, although I wondered if it would stay online due to not being from an official GF or Nintendo souce, wouldn't it have breached some copyrights? I have never been on it, so I don't know what the situation on that was.

Summed up in one word? I'd call it "frustrating".

People put all this work into a friendly, non-for-profit project, with dedicated fans working on something they enjoy, completely out of harms way. And then Nintendo snaps its finger and -poof- no more project.

Basically it tells me how Nintendo views and treats its fanbase. Not that I wasn't already aware of how they do things.

Agreed. There really wasn't a good reason for Nintendo to do this. It's not like they're losing money to this this.

How badly is Nintendo cracking down on fansites and the like? :s

This BETTER mean a Pokemon MMO for the 3DS is coming up...

Has the guy that's doing the Ultra Pokemon RPG(forgot what's its called) been informed about this?
And maybe they are planning to do a MMO.

I remember reading somewhere that at least one of the companies that has stock in the series was all for fangames so this kind of surprises me. Maybe I was misinformed but I really hope that I wasn't.
