Nintendo has issued a request to take down Pokemon Uranium, a fan-made project that reportedly took nine years to develop. To respect Nintendo’s wishes, the team behind the game is no longer offering links to download it via its website. Pokemon Uranium was released a few days ago and is said to have been downloaded 1.5 million times during that brief period. The following is a statement from the creators of the project:
After receiving more than 1,500,000 downloads of our game, we have been notified of multiple takedown notices from lawyers representing Nintendo of America.
While we have not personally been contacted, it’s clear what their wishes are, and we respect those wishes deeply.
Therefore, we will no longer provide official download links for the game through our website.
We have no connection to fans who reupload the game files to their own hosts, and we cannot verify that those download links are all legitimate. We advise you to be extremely cautious about downloading the game from unofficial sources.
We are blown away by the response this game has received, and we thank you all so much for your outstanding support.
We will continue to provide Pokémon Uranium-related news and updates through our official channels.
You are welcome to continue discussing and sharing content related to the game on our forums and Discord, where there is a very active community.
Thank you for reading, and let’s share the love of Pokémon!

Hey. Just wanted to note that most of the moderators have put together legitimate mirrors for you all to download. I personally created a torrent of such that people can both download and seed.
Also, I want to clarify that while there were multiple takedowns (mostly DMCA-related stuff), NoA has not sent a C&D to the Uranium Team. Therefore, the game is still effectively alive and well even if slightly more difficult to get now. (But hey, if that is what is necessary to survive, then that’s fine.)
