A game called "Poke" has recently attracted widespread attention for allegedly plagiarizing "Pokémon" and "Pokémon". However, in the early hours of this morning, his official social media account was suddenly completely blocked and disappeared from the Internet.

"Elf Piko" is a game billed as "open world survival production". Players can capture creatures named "Elf Piko" to fight. Judging from its promotional materials, not only does the game's gameplay mechanism highly imitate "Pokémon", but even the character design can see the shadow of "Pokémon", and the protagonist's costume is a clear tribute to "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".

The game previously rose to fame due to its controversial nature. Developer PocketGame once claimed that in less than 48 hours, the game received more than 25 million exposures across the Internet, and the official trailer also received more than 50,000 views. The developer also posted a message thanking the major game media at the time, and stated that it would continue to optimize the game based on community feedback.

However, the good times did not last long. Just as the popularity of the game was rising, his account was suddenly banned by the platform. Although the account is no longer accessible, the YouTube channel and Steam page of "Elf Pico" are still online.

What’s even more staggering is that the game’s account holder posted a provocative post on the YouTube community: “Stupid PXXXmon and NXXXXXXX should not monopolize the gaming industry.” The blocked words clearly pointed to the Pokémon Company and Nintendo.

At present, PocketGame has not yet explained the reason for the account being blocked. This incident made the already complicated copyright dispute even more confusing. As we all know, "Phoenix Pal" itself is currently involved in a copyright lawsuit with Nintendo due to accusations of plagiarizing Pokémon art and assets. As a "Palu imitator", "Elf Pico" is now stepping on two legal red lines at the same time.

According to the developer's previous plan, "Elf Pico" has been put on Steam and the wish list has been opened. It also plans to launch on the PS5 platform in the future.
