All footage of a Pok\u00e9mon first-person shooter fan project is being wiped from digital existence.<\/p>\n

Video of the game appeared on Reddit weeks ago<\/a> and garnered an explosive fan response. But as is usually the case with Nintendo-owned IP being used without its permission, the Big N is scrubbing all evidence of the game online.<\/p>\n

Video of the Pok\u00e9mon x FPS <\/em>blew up on YouTube and Twitter in recent days as fans got a taste of what it would be like to slay their favourite little Pocket Monsters. Reddit-user and developer of the game, Dragon_GameDev2 originally posted footage of the project on Reddit, and his initial post is one of the only places online where you can still get a glimpse of the title.<\/p>\n

The video that was pulled featured players wielding various weapons to take down Pok\u00e9mon like Articuno, Nidoking, and even the eternally-adorable Pikachu. It is a bloody take on the franchise that rarely strays beyond its usual family-friendly fare.<\/p>\n

While most companies are fairly stringent when it comes to the use of their IP and brands, Nintendo is one of the harshest. In recent years<\/a> the Japanese gaming giant has had gamers up in arms for their treatments of projects such as this.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest criticisms lobbied their way is the inability to discern the difference between a fan project (that will likely be released for free) and something using their IP for commercial gain.<\/p>\n

Nintendo has yet to publicly comment on the Pok\u00e9mon FPS project and is unlikely to do so with\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Legends Arceus<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>coming out later this week.<\/p>\n
