Nintendo is well-known for the aggressive protection of its brands, and the YouTuber behind the popular series of "PokeNational Geographic" videos claims to be on the receiving end of copyright strikes from the company. According to the creator of the video series, Elious, his channel has been hit with dozens of copyright strikes by Nintendo of America, and he only has a few days left until it is deleted. Because of the multiple strikes issued against 20 of his videos and YouTube's three-strikes policy, the channel is set to be deleted from the platform in a week.
