Iowa man sued Nintendo to become a certified ‘Professor of Pokémon’ and sought $341,000; judge calls case ‘completely frivolous’

A federal judge has thrown out Kyle Owens' lawsuit against Nintendo and Pokémon Company International. Owens aimed to achieve the status of an official Pokémon Professor, but his application was denied due to a pending arrest warrant found during his background check. The judge criticized his outrageous damages claim of $341,000 as a misuse of judicial resources and cautioned Owens against future frivolous filings.
