I just don't believe in copyright, IP patents or having fences on human culture.

So even if they straight up put Pikachu in their game I think they have the moral right to do so. If they can make a good game with Pikachu in it, who is Nintendo to private humanity from that piece of culture?

My statement is about morality. What's legal or not is another matter.

I mean...artists should be paid for their work right? Fuck Nintendo, but that same logic could be applied to anyone. I'd be pissed if someone just straight up lifted my designs and resold it.

Absolutely. I don't get how someone can say stealing the work of others is morally correct.

Are you talking about some heist on Nintendo's blueprint vaults?

Because IP infringement is never theft.
