"Pokémon Fan Game Site Shut Down After Decade-Long Run Due to DMCA Notice"

After nearly a decade, the long-running Pokémon fan game site Relic Castle has shut down following a DMCA takedown notice, stripping the website of its resources. The site, which had gained over 20,000 members, was known for hosting Pokémon fan games and fostering a tight-knit community. The takedown notice, authorized by The Pokémon Company International, targeted the entire site for using unauthorized copies of copyrighted material. This move reflects the company's increasing efforts to crack down on fan projects and mods related to Pokémon.
