This is in accordance with YouTube&#8217;s three-strike policy, which was quickly enacted after Nintendo of America sent four separate copyright notices across a total of 20 videos.<\/p>\n<p>The videos, which were animated takes on David Attenborough nature documentaries, are alleged to inappropriately contain &#8220;content used in Pok\u00e9mon video games including audiovisual works, characters, and imagery&#8221;. He claims that the only content directly pulled from were &#8220;tiny sprite roars&#8221;, while noting that other content on YouTube, including some generated via AI, have not been targeted.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Elious expressed willingness to comply with the copyright strikes, stating &#8220;I can&#8217;t fight this&#8221;. However, he&#8217;s understandably unset over the loss of the channel&#8217;s 100K+ subscribers, while a Patreon page launched to support his work now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/c\/pokenational\">&#8220;under review&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s also stated that he will continue to create animations for his alternative channel (which you can visit via the video above), but these understandably won&#8217;t be related to Pok\u00e9mon in any way.<\/p>\n<p><em>What do you make of all of this?
