Well mostly we are annoyed that they do not follow GPL and because of that we have kind of tried to get Nintendo to shut them down. I do not have the money for lawyer and anyway the guy in control of Pokemonium lives in US and I live in Finland.
The stupid thing is I kinda find it nice that they forked our code, but I dislike them for not following GPL.
You have a right to defend your open source project and if you really want to get these guys to follow the rules, enforce it. But don't expect Nintendo to do anything. If they do, its great. You did your part in reporting this (albeit you probably wouldn't if it wasn't your project specific maybe; I'm totally guessing on this part).
But if it bothers you that much, have an attorney send them a letter.
