A federal judge has dismissed an Iowa man’s “absurd” $341,000 lawsuit against Nintendo and The Pokemon Company after he was denied “Pokemon Professor” certification. Kyle Owens, 34, filed the lawsuit in May, alleging that the companies violated federal antitrust laws by preventing him from becoming an official Pokemon Professor. Owens wanted the court to award him at least $341,000 in damages, grant him certification, restore his access to official tools and allow him to host sanctioned Pokemon events. According to Iowa Capital Dispatch, Strand described the lawsuit as a “completely frivolous waste of the court’s time and resources.” Judge calls $341K Pokemon claim “outright absurd” Owens claimed he scored 100% on the Pokemon Professor exam in March 2024, but certification was still dependent on completing a background check.
