So thats why they never designed another Eeveelution after Sylveon? I thought they weren't allowed to look at fan designs. Its stupid because everyone wants new Eevees. This is also a monetary loss for TPC, Eevee merch prints money.

>it was decided that the design costs would be very high
So they're afraid of being directly compared with fan designs, or else they'd have to waste money making something better. If anything, this is the company admitting that they produce low-quality slop that's only marketable because it's completely unique (in that nobody else has done something that retarded).
The fact that pokedrones immediately spun this into "IT'S DA FANS' FAULT!" is proof of how deep the shiteating consumerism runs in them.

This has to be bullshit because TPC has a ToS in one of the games that pretty much says they can use your fanart as they will. They thought they could get away with it for that Ho-Oh art in Pocket, but the negative attention from the accusation was so bad that they immediately rescinded it.

There is a term in the legal world called "Innocent Infringement", where you create something that is very similar to something that already exists without knowing the existing thing existed in the first place. It's precisely why Pokemon designers aren't allowed to go around looking at fan designs, because that'd make them liable. If they have reason to believe the Pokemon designer had no idea the specific fan design existed, there's nothing the fan designer can do unless their specific design is copyrighted (lmao copyrighting a fan design). Nintendo, being the legal law firm that sometimes releases videogames that they are, simply go the extra mile and throw out any designs that are found to be too similar to fan designs simply to avoid hassles like

They should bite the bullet and give us a new type already, so that the artists can be free to create better pokemon designs without needing to worry about the fanart.

Anon09/16/25, 05:40No.58259679
this is so stupid
those fan designs exist because of the franchise
fans have no right to the fan designs they create because they are just extensions to the IP, which they don't own
at this point, it's on the fan artists to state that what they create using the company's intellectual property belongs to the company, even if they came up with it and put effort in it
anyone who disagrees is a mega retard
it's no wonder the nu-designs are so fucking bad, because most of the good designs are taken up by fan artists

>Purple ring Umbreon
Even if the SGB palette was purple at the time, it's very likely that Umbreon would have retained similar bright color rings because bright rings on animals are meant to identify toxicity and warn predators. It would likely retain the red eyes as well, as various poisonous lizards squirt toxic blood from their eyes as a defense mechanism.

All you need to do is to give credit to fans that made a design or inspired it, compensate them too, and maybe even hire them like what Sega did with Sonic fans.
