    Fair use is such a fickle thing. It isn’t the catch all that people want.

    Without express permission from Nintendo, including Pokemon in a mod is copyright infringement.

    Is it transformative? Thats extremely case by case, but Nintendo would make the arguement that mods can act as a market subsitute for their own product (like the guys putting pokemon into palworld).

    IANAL, this is all just my opinion.
