Don't panic. That was just a preeptive action by Joe. :U

And yeah, they should have served this e-mail through the admin's emails not the WHOIS domain name email listing >_>

You guys make good points. I honestly do hope that this isn't real however. I liked being able to see B&W pictures, and I wanted the shiny sprites to be put up. That's what I was really looking forward to on his website. ]:

I wonder why they are only now being uptight about it after so many years...

Guys if this IS just a troll, we could assume Pokebeach's webmaster told Serebii of the letter. So this troll could spread if both Pokebeach's Webmaster (sry whats his name) and Serebii believe its real. WE should be the ones taking action and at least have them double-check if its legit.

Maybe it's a conspiracy, and Nintendo hired someone to send out fake emails to cause a bunch of controversy so they would get even more coverage. :O

:P

ok, fail.
like many of you have said before me, why would they do it now?
and didn't the games come out officially today in japan?
and if you get them shipped here instead of posting screen shots of ROMs couldn't you just post pics of the actual game itself?
so really, they would only stop it for a little while.
and if becomes illegal to do all of that then i guess we just wait for 6 months.

Don't worry ... people are already contacting the appropriate channels

^a'ight I just don't want to see all the screenshots taken down from the fansites that they had worked so hard to find just because of some troll.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 18th, 2010 7:54 PM

Hmm what if the webmaster of Pokebeach made it...and sent it to himself and then to Serebii to get them to take down their pics while they keep thiers and get more viewers...I'm overthinking things huh?

I would laugh if PokeBeach's owner and Serebii, among others, actually head out to kick that troll's butt severely for inconveniencing all of us Pokemon fans like this. :cer_laugh: I'm doubting whether the origin of the email, if it is a troll, will actually be traced, though...

Why is the title of this thread so funny to me... XD

ANYWAYS, I have no idea if this a hoax or the real deal... Some of the things pointed out though makes me think this could all just be some troll act or something. Especially the letter first saying "we", then "me" as I believe someone stated. But WPM actually contacting the person who sent him the letter makes this seem pretty legit... X_X

Well they are a company though "Us" would make more sense than "We"...
Which adds to my conspiracy theory on this...

Weird nintendo letter (mods please read and weep)
 
Okay so I've been surfing the net and I came across many pokemon related websites have gotten a letter from nintendo itself saying that if they do t take all the pokemon black and white related pics down by Sunday ( time unknown)
There site host will have to take it Down. Permanently.

Nintendo never done this before for anygames so why the heck now?!?!?!

I fell like protesting but I'd be to scared to even try them being a big scary company :p so what should PC do?

Well Pc isn't a pokemon news site but a fan site... Pokebeach and the reat have to worry more than us...

Netto Azure September 18th, 2010 8:23 PM

I'm guessing PokeJungle and Experto will recieve "notices" soon. Psypoke is posting info as well.

Ho-Oh September 18th, 2010 8:36 PM

Kay, it's best that this is locked to avoid the drama and discussion regarding whether it's a hoax or not. If it's real, it's real. If it's fake, it's fake. Let's just get back to finding out information, playing and enjoying the games~
