Minecraft mod 'Pixelmon' shut down by Pokemon Co.

Coming from the dev team behind Pixelmon...

“With much sadness, but keeping all our fond memories, we must announce that Pixelmon is ending its development. We have had a great time making this mod and creating such a wonderful community but after a request from the Pokémon company we will be shutting our doors.”

There's no official word on what exactly caused Pokemon Co. to go after the mod after all this time.
