This is cool! Is there a way to sort by popularity?
By popularity, do you mean the repos or the pokemon?
Would a company send a DMCA notice for a github repo whose title is a trademarked character's name? (Is there a MickeyMouse project?)
Yes. I have previously made a simple Chrome extension that contained Pokemon stuff, but certainly derivative work that should not be considered copyright infringement. (The extension replaced facebook reactions with Pokemon faces, if you're wondering). I got DMCA'd by Nintendo anyways. I didn't bother fighting it, since it wasn't worth my time for a one-day project. Nintendo of America has overzealous paralegals that…
If you mean images of Pokémon, those would be copyrighted.
Still ridiculous, but consistent with copyright law, and not an obvious case for fair use either.

Thanks! Currently no sort/filters. I'm planning to add those soon :) By popularity, do you mean the repos or the pokemon?
From a quick glance, looks like Jolteon would be number 1 in the list.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't think DMCA can be used for trademark infringement, just copyright.
In theory that's true, but in practice it gets used for that.
That is, if it's actually a DMCA claim and if that DMCA claim is patently invalid (trademarks are not covered by copyright, so filing a DMCA claim on trademark grounds would be obviously invalid).
Most of the time the things people call "DMCAs" aren't actual DMCA takedown requests, though. For example YouTube blocks a lot of content based on automated flagging which doesn't even invoke the DMCA -- illegitimate flagging isn't illegal, it's often not even a violation of the ToS, even if it causes lost revenue.

Yes :)
(I would assume repo popularity, as pokemon popularity can already be found elsewhere)

I had a project[1] that was named after a Pokemon. It was a mustache[2] parser so I named it Entei because he has a very fashionable mustache. I changed the name[3] to chevron because I didn't want to deal with Nintendo's lawyers.
