Another popular author has fallen victim to this policy. The YouTube channel PokéNational Geographic, beloved by thousands of players and entirely dedicated to Pokémon, will be permanently closed after a series of serious copyright claims.

The channel was hit by a wave of warnings directly from Nintendo's lawyers. The claims covered a wide range of content, from gameplay recordings and analysis to the use of original music from Pokémon games.

In a farewell address to his audience, the author briefly commented on the situation:

I can't fight this.

A legal battle with a corporation of this magnitude would be financially and psychologically devastating for an independent YouTuber, so he decided to close the channel within a few days – he has 7 days from April 26.
