User blog comment:Sir Areis Lionheart/The Death of Pokemon: Nintendo Seeking Legal Action Against Fanworks/LaboR/@comment-3553379-20130418001910

I'm not entirely sure if the takedown notices were legit or not. It's not beyond the realm of possibility, though. My brother told me of a time when Fox, many years ago, ordered a DMCA takedown of almost every Simpsons fansites just for hosting pictures.

What confuses me is how I have not seen a single recent article about these DMCA takedowns. Everything I'm finding dates back to 2010. Some have questioned the legitamacy of the claims. Others say the claims are legit. But so far have not found an official Nintendo announcement, so I'm not entirely sure what to believe.
