### The Destiny of Pok\u00e9National Geographic: Elious Confronts Copyright Strikes from Nintendo<\/p>\n

Elious, the mastermind behind the cherished Pok\u00e9mon nature documentary YouTube series *Pok\u00e9National Geographic*, has disclosed that his channel is on the verge of deletion due to a wave of stringent copyright strikes from Nintendo of America. In a video update shared on a secondary channel, Elious indicated that he had received multiple copyright claims within just 12 hours, putting his channel at risk of being lost in seven days.<\/p>\n

#### The Copyright Strikes<\/p>\n

In the most recent update, Elious conveyed that a total of 20 videos on his channel have been affected, resulting in four distinct copyright claims. According to YouTube\u2019s three-strikes policy, accumulating more than three strikes leads to the automatic termination of the channel, placing Elious in a vulnerable situation. The copyright claims assert that his content misappropriated elements from the Pok\u00e9mon video games, such as audiovisual works, characters, and visuals.<\/p>\n

Elious\u2019s channel showcases original 3D animations that portray various Pok\u00e9mon in their natural settings, accompanied by a narration style akin to that of nature documentaries narrated by David Attenborough. His informative content features popular Pok\u00e9mon like Magikarp, Squirtle, and Charizard, merging entertainment with educational information. The creator contends that he has only utilized minimal content directly from the games, specifically \u201ctiny sprite roars\u201d lasting under three seconds. In contrast, he points out that many other creators, including those using AI-generated content, have employed more direct footage or images without encountering similar consequences.<\/p>\n

#### Support and Backlash<\/p>\n

In an attempt to support his creative projects, Elious established a Patreon merely two months ago, allowing fans to financially back the series. However, that account is currently undergoing review, adding further uncertainty to his circumstances. Despite his challenges, Elious expressed a willingness to remove Pok\u00e9mon-related videos if requested by Nintendo, stressing his intention to keep his nearly 100,000 subscribers in order to continue creating content on different topics.<\/p>\n

Elious articulated his frustrations regarding the situation, stating, \u201cI can\u2019t really fight this. It all seems legitimate, it does seem to come from the actual, real Nintendo of America. \u2026 Almost 100,000 subscribers over three years of making these animations and it\u2019s all going to be gone in seven days.\u201d He acknowledged having downloaded his content for personal preservation, but he realizes he may never be able to share that work again.<\/p>\n

#### Future Endeavors<\/p>\n

Looking forward, Elious intends to redirect his focus to a new channel, EliousEntertainmentYT, where he will produce content unrelated to Pok\u00e9mon. He continues to post clips from his creations on his TikTok page, where he retains some connection with his original audience and aesthetic.<\/p>\n

In his closing remarks, Elious underscored the magnitude of his loss, stating, \u201c*Pok\u00e9National* is dead. I\u2019m not going to be able to make *Pok\u00e9National* again.\u201d This declaration resonates profoundly within the community of fans who have appreciated his content over the years, highlighting the often-contentious dynamics between content creators and intellectual property rights holders.<\/p>\n

As the deadline looms, the future of Elious and his beloved channel remains uncertain, illustrating the intricate landscape of copyright in the digital era.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
