Nintendo Says No Livestreaming for Creators

by

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. One thing I like about the older games vs the 3DS era games is the difficulty. I started with the 3DS games and was totally spoiled.

    But in Pokemon LeafGreen, Platinum, and HG, I had to really think about which pokemon got which TM because you got ONE or had to spend a lot of time at the casino, and if my Flareon was strong on attack but weak with special attack, then too bad: I had to spam Fire Blast and make it work. Also there was strategic leveling: if you evolved too early, sometimes you missed out on a great move. Even with the new Exp. Share off, it’s not too hard.

    Those things aren’t as big of a deal anymore, and it takes away from the experience a bit. I love Pokemon Refresh and Amie, and the 3DS era has done great things with breeding, especially in SunMoon (the judge thing in the box is the BEST, I used to take every single hatchling to the judge 5 at a time).

    Pros and cons. I love seeing my Pokemon pull through at the last second, whether it’s from luck or from “It withstood the attack didn’t want to make you sad.”

      • Exactly. for a perfect example EXP. Until gen 6, EXP would be literally divided amongst pokemon if they came out in battle. It made training that much harder. Not only that EXP also depended heavily onthe level of your pokemon. Now Im not sure if this is a thing anymore, but I know the higher level your pokemon was the less EXP one would get. It would just get very tedious grinding. I know people hate the new EXP share, but it’s made grinding so much better.

        • Only Gen V used that levelling system iirc, VI and VII went back to the old one

          Shame because imo that was the better system, gave GF a better control over your level but it was a nightmare for people who liked to be above the level curve they try to set

          • Which one was a gen V only mechanic? I said two things.
            And you preferred the much slower EXP rate? I feel like its still in great control now. When I replay Y and when I played SM I almost felt right there.
            I feel like if I was underlleveled I didnt need to spend hours tryng to just level up too. Idk maybe its just me, but I like the EXP ‘buff’ they gave

          • Higher level than opponent = lower exp, lower level = higher exp is the one I’m on about as a Gen V alternative. I just preferred it because it was easier to see where GF wanted you to be imo (so less grinding for me, but others may still feel the need to grind) + it made grinding drastically lower levelled team mates easier

          • It didn’t give you less exp when you were higher leveled, it just boosted the amount when you were more or less equal or underlevelled. If you’re higher leveled any Pokémon at lower levels will feel like they hardly give exp since you need a lot more to level up.

  2. Anyone available to help me shift around 20 Pokemon between games? I can breed you something (non-shiny) or give you a Gold Bottle Cap as payment.

      • It wasn’t hard. It required me to get up at 8.30, take the train to a friend of mine I was visiting anyway, just walk in the store 15 minutes after opening time, see a huge pile of 100+ consoles lying about, pick one up and pay MSRP.

  5. Nothing at all from Milan huh… I didn’t expect much but I figured there would be something small but oh well. I think they’ve shown everything now besides maybe a couple of the other z-crystals/z-moves that they wanted to show before release.

    • I like game reviews like these, because it’s not just saying what’s the game’s strong and weak points but it’s also very detailed on hoe the game is and stuff like that

    • Halfway through the vid, and since I played Platinum for the first time just the other day, I want to say I don’t remember what Team Galactic wanted exactly. They blew up some stuff… and then Cyrus went to the distortion world… and? What were the grunts for if he was going to destroy the whole world?

      At least in Team Flare Lysandre made them pay like $5 million to join up and they presumably wouldn’t be wiped out.

      • Cyrus wanted to create a world without emotion; he believed it to be a weakness of humanity that lead to strife and suffering. He thought getting rid of it would end fighting. And what’s great about platinum is that he actually sort of achieves his goal. He’s left to live in the distortion world, a world devoid of emotion.

        As for the grunts, they were just a means to an end. He needed them to distract and slow people down so he could make his real moves.

        • Okay, that makes as much sense as any. Have fun in the distortion world, Cyrus: it looks hella boring and I’m not sure there’s any food in there.

  8. So apparently, the SNES Mini uses the exact same motherboard as the NES Mini, and that’s why they stopped delivering the NES Mini for a while. They needed to convert all boards to SNES Mini to try and meet demand, and next year they can easily start producing both once peak demand has been met.

  9. Just saw the Lego Ninjago Movie and it was great! I liked it a lot, it’s great as a movie on it’s own and really not that bad as an adaptation of the show. And I actually want to listen to the soundtrack, which I don’t usually do. Few complaints:
    -More screen time for ninjas that aren’t Lloyd would be nice
    -One of my favourite ships of all time, Jay and Nya, wasn’t there, at all
    -Should have more time after the cat puking garmadon out scene.
    But, the third argument could be fixes by a sequel. Or a tv show. wait…
    Yeah, but overall I liked it a lot! I’m waiting for a sequel.

  13. I just have to say Aurora veil is the best thing to happen to Ice types. It actually made some good support moves for ice types. I wish more ice types learned it. Honestly Abomasnow should learn it.
    Aurora veil is the best thing when trying out a pokemon.
    Also. You dont know what true power is until to use Focus Punch Mega Heracross. It honestly feels SOOOOO amazing using it. Like you can feel all the power coming off the screen! Heracross is such an amazing mon. It might bypass Vikavolt as my favorite is this Focus punches keep happening. I got a CRIT Focus Punch. Like I think the other girl actually died from the impact because she did not make a single move for the rest of the game. GG World.
