really at this point i'm just being reminded about the nebulous status of fanworks
the company's previous stance on AI/NFTs is enough for us to completely avoid it for now. we're not clicking on articles or going after bait, just picking up on things ambiently mostly via notifications from a pokemon go telegram chat.
but a friend is playing, and posted one of a pal they found so cute
and it's just. meganium's head on a grass goodra's body. of course it's cute.
but i also have to think that specific design would have been in some fusion romhack or another.
what options would a sprite artist for a romhack have if something was directly ripped?
