Pokémon Uranium is a fan-made Pokémon game.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The game was in development for nine years.[7][8][9] The game adds 150 new fan-made species of Pokémon, along with a new region.[10] Similar to the official games, Uranium contains both online trading and online battling.[7] On August 13, 2016, after one and a half million downloads, the download links for Pokémon Uranium were taken down from the official site because the developers wanted to "respect Nintendo's wishes", after receiving multiple DMCA takedown notice letters from lawyers representing Nintendo.[11][12] The developers said that despite this, the game is "more alive than ever".[13] On September 21, 2016, the official Pokémon Uranium Twitter account announced that they have ceased development of the game.[14]
