Nintendo Says No Livestreaming for Creators

Participants in Nintendo’s Creator Program will no longer be able to livestream gaming sessions on YouTube. Channels currently signed up to Nintendo’s revenue sharing program are entirely prohibited from livestreaming under the new rules, unless they choose to de-register the channel and register their videos individually. Separate channels by the same content producer are allowed however.

Hopefully this will not impact any Pokémon channels; Pokémon content is not managed by Nintendo under their program, but channels may be part of Nintendo’s program.

Definitely a step back for fans and creators alike! Thanks for the heads up My Nintendo News!

  1. So I get the Pokeflute station on the radio finally and go to Snorlax to catch it so I can continue moving on…Then it hits me….Why am I not sring for this like I plan to do for the legendary birbs? and thus I start my potentially very long journey to catch a shiny Snorlax………*sigh*

  2. Just landed. I have 2 hours before my long flight to Paris

    I played Platinum the entire time. I best Maylene(Porygon Z is so good omg), got to Pastoria Town and evolved Gible into Gabite

    Also, shout out to Gabite for being of the only 3 stage pseudos with an awesome second evo. Non of that Shelgon or Pupitar shiit

  3. Well, I’m working on a playthrough of Alpha Sapphire (first AS, did OR several times). As usual, trying new ‘mons, so I picked a Treecko instead of my usual Mudkip. I realized that I’ve used so many different ones already. Right now I have a Grovyle, a Vigoroth, and a Dustox that I unexpectedly love (Shield Dust is a great ability).

    I want to use a Tropius as more than an HM slave this time (Bananasaurus is one of the BEST HM slaves, so is Lanturn), and I’d like a Seviper too, but I don’t know what else. Oh! Latias is one of my favorites, so planning on using her.

    • I like things like Linoone that can learn lots of HMs and also have a helpful ability like Pick Up.
      Treecko was my first Hoenn starter when my brother and I played it in Japanese on emulator. We also ended up with a Cascoon but I don’t remember getting very far as we couldn’t understand it.

      • I’ve always had a Linoone with me. Swagzagoon, Broom, Bandida, and this time, Brush.

        Post or late game I’ve got it made with just 2:
        Braviary that knows Strength, Fly, Cut, Rock Smash
        Lanturn that knows Surf, Dive, Waterfall, Flash

  4. Ugh… it takes way too long to access the pokemon center. Like the entire process is painfully slow. Lets hope they change it in Ultra Sun & Moon.
