Abramul Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 The possibilities are that a retextured rat with (maybe) Pikachu sound effects headbutting everything would be frickin' hilarious. Here's what a retextured yellow rat looks like. Don't ask what I did with the head. This took me maybe 2 minutes. Relevant tools are:http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/NifSkopehttp://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/GIMP Alternately, you could create a yellow rat by setting its Confidence to 0. This can be done in the Construction Set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnay Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 that doesnt look like pikachu though. pikachu stands on 2 feet n stuff. if only one of the hardcore modders like xiver was a pokemon fan. THEN we could have a pikachu companion, hehe. Never say never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sypron Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Okay, I won't say never. The chances of this happening are so low, that if you expect it to happen then you will be the one making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Pikachu. The screenshot is gone, but it's a retextured rat. It looks like crap (Still better than Abramul's though :P), but it's all you're going to get. I think it replaces the original rat textures.

SickleYield Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 The bad news is that Pikachu is a trademark of Nintendo, so you might have some legal problems to deal with. Really? I haven't heard of anyone else who made custom content for Oblivion based on other games having legal problems. There are, after all, several Final Fantasy mods out there. You never know, there might be some modeler/animator out there who likes Pokemon as much as the FF fans like Cloud Stryfe. Seems unlikely, though.

Either way, it's still in breach of copyright laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnay Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 You could jsut call it like... Pikachew or something and like make it look a little diferent than the normal Pikachu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it's still in breach of copyright laws.And Nintendo seems to be rather attached to that particular rodent, as well as any of their Pokemon. All 300+ some Pokemon are trademarked, not merely copyrighten. This means that you can't call anything by a Pokemon name, or make anything that too closely resembles a pokemon. This more significantly limits what can be done with them to little more beyond parody. And even within the bounds of parody, there have to be very significant differences. In short, you might be able to make an electric powered rodent, but you cannot call it Pikachu, and it cannot look anything like a Pokemon.

Interesting... You want a yellow rat? No? Then stop posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnay Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Okay seriously Nintendo will probably not care about this if someone did make it. after all someone made a pokeball mod where you can shoot pokeballs at npc's or creatures and capture them then shoot them at other monsters or npc's and make them fight. So if that is aloud then a pikachu will too. And actually I do want a pikachu companion. It would be really funny and cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
