Pokemon Uranium was initially nominated for best fan game by The Game Awards 2016, but the project has since been removed from the ballot. This is because the upcoming show “couldn’t obtain the clearance” to have the game represented, according to host Geoff Keighley. “It became clear once we announced the nominees that we weren’t going to be able to get clearance on those games from Nintendo, understandably so, it’s Nintendo IP, they’re trying to protect their IP, and those creators had sort of taken those games down,” Keighley said during a recent Twitch stream. “So from a show perspective, those games had been I think issued take downs, and if we include those in the show, then the show is potentially at risk for take down as well.” The Game Awards 2016 is set to take place on December 1. Pokemon GO is among the games that have been nominated for best family game and best mobile or handheld game of 2016.
