I personally disagree with this. This game you made those pixelated sprites isn't as big as Animal Jam.

To prevent players from expressing their interests (excluding social media) in a game that gives you the ability to draw is ignorant, especially when most of the players are young kids wanting to express themselves and make friends. An easy way to do it is to draw it.

On a side note, these kids don't know the concept of "Copyright." We can't sit every kid down to explain it to them. Especialy at ages 5-8. They don't have the mental capacity.

"Did ajhq consider all the cons to this?"

Before they released pixel masterpieces, people were already excessively making things including Spongebob, FNaF, the list goes on... So to suddenly stop people from doing this is dumb and would take 75% or more players out of the game. They would get more vitriol from that then they would from just leaving it in the game. Also, just remember Animal Jam is also National Geographic. Much bigger than Nintendo and the person who made Nyan Cat.

Now, as to your copy comment, I completely agree. Though young artists have to start somewhere, and it's easy to copy your favorite game's artwork than it is to start from scratch. Also gives the young'uns something to work off of.

For your trading comment, this is a game and should be treated as such. Hence why the "don't make real currency off of it" rule is in place.
