A man is suing Nintendo and The Pokemon Company after being denied entry into the Pokemon Professor Program. Kyle Owens filed the lawsuit seeking $341,000 in damages.
Lawsuit alleges antitrust violations
Owens claims he passed the Pokemon Professor exam with a perfect score of 100%. However, a background check revealed a pending warrant for his arrest. The denial letter stated his exam score was recalculated to 80%.
The lawsuit alleges antitrust violations and seeks class-action certification. Owens argues that the denial was unjust and that the program's policies are anticompetitive.
The case was filed in the US. Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have not publicly responded to the allegations. The outcome of the lawsuit remains pending.
