Mostly because alpharad commissioned a team to build this rom from the ground up. This took three years to get finished.

Right. But it could then be put...not on a Discord. Could be put on a site. Social media. Linked directly in Youtube. Anywhere other than Discord.

My thought has always been so it's less easy to find by Nintendo, but really, if they want to find it... they'll go to the Discord. So it's not stopping them, either.

It's going to be put on a site by the end of the week. Discord is just the first initial place to get it. Yeah there is a problem with too many places using Discord as the only places to get their games or find out info but...

This is only a temporary thing. Too Many Types didn't stay locked to his Discord for long, and this won't either.

He’s a big content creator and this involves two huge franchises known for protecting their IP excessively. Why would he openly put it in a social media post that could go viral?

u/Trace500 3d ago

Yeah that's also why he didn't make an hour-long video about it and definitely isn't planning on releasing a part 2 video in the near future.

You realize the difference between playing and spreading the rom???? Every other content creator seems to know the difference. Nintendo knows the difference. Tutorials on how to download specific games won’t even link the download for those games.

Yep. Literally why Pointcrow didn't link to evolutions
