Pokeprincxss Sued

Pokeprincxss is a famous Tik Tok star and Twitch streamer. The name Pokeprincxss was obviously inspired by the name of Nintendo’s Pokemon and because of this, Pokeprinxcss got her idea of creating her merchandise using Pokemon Imagery. She created merchandise such as pokeballs and more. She believes that using Pokemon Imagery is fair and used as a parody, just like others who make it as fan art. In the past few months, she has received email from LegalZoom wherein they stated that she has been issued a cease and desist from Nintendo because of her merchandising.

In her recent video which she uploaded on YouTube, she explained to her supporters about the issue and stated that she didn’t know that what she was doing was wrong; “I was young and dumb and I was just going full force with it because I didn’t know that what I was doing was wrong”.

The Nintendo company didn’t want people to assume that Pokeprincxss was working with them because the streamer also works in the Adult entertainment industry and Nintendo has a Family friendly image. Pokeprincxss hired a lawyer to help her resolve the issue with Nintendo and for rebranding her name.

She changed and rebranded her name, Pokeprincxss to Digitalprincxss. Her fans asked why she couldn’t just change her name from Poke to Poki. She responded to this saying that she doesn’t want any other issues between her and the Nintendo company.
