Unofficial Pokémon Fan Game Site Shut Down by DMCA Notice
Relic Castle, a popular forum for Pokémon fan games, has been taken offline following a DMCA takedown notice, leaving its 20,000 members and 65,000+ posts in limbo. The site, which served as a hub for discussing and sharing Pokémon fan games, was a non-profit, ad-free community that had been active for nearly a decade. The sudden shutdown reflects a broader crackdown on Pokémon mods and fan content, raising concerns for content creators and modders in the community.
