If anything he was promoting the pokemon IP and instead should be paid four grand by the pokemon company. Why did they bother to do this when most likely this will only be negative PR for pokemon...

Is it $4000 or $5400?

Nevermind, I see it. Wish I could donate but gofundme does not do paypal, unfortunately.

"Kid gets drunk at official Pokémon party"

"Drug dealer arrested at official Pokémon party"

You're not allowed to make money from licensed trademarks. It's that simple. You have to be an idiot to think you're allowed to ask admission fees for a franchise you don't own the rights of.

This case is merely to set an example.

Unofficial. Still, some journalists don't know how to do journalism so it could come down that way.

That is what I was alluding to. ;)

Change some to majority though.

That's just dumb. :/

Poor guy. I wonder if he'll keep being a big Pokemon fan.

$4000 in exchange for a nice helping of negative publicity. Stupid trade when a C&D would have served the exact same purpose without the bad karma.

What would be the difference between making it "Official" rather than "Unnoficial"?

How far does "unnoficial" go in this. So basically even if there's a kid or someone out there having a pokemon themed birthday party that could be labeled "unnoficial"? So it's basically like don't celebrate the franchise you like because you might get sued for it. 

(I'm not a fan of Pokemon i'm just saying for other people who might be). 

edit: Nevermind, I forgot about the $2 entree thing. 

Yeah, after I wrote my comment I thought about the $2 entree fee and how that would be seen as making money off of someone elses work. 

I see now.
