Pokemon fan game developer says Claude refused to help after spending thousands on project

A Pokemon fan game creator says Claude has started refusing to work on the project after they claimed to spend up to $2,000 a month developing it and working 10 to 14 hours a day. Big Kid Nation is behind Pokemon Arena 2D, a free real-time arena battler built around pixel-art Pokemon visuals. The project’s website says it has been in development for two years, with a public beta planned for December 2026.
