Oh yeah, acknowledge rip-off’s and publish them, that will go well for you. The difference between Nintendo and Capcom/Sega is that the later don’t give a rat’s ass about some of their IP's anymore.

Remember when Capcom published a fanmade Mega Man game? That was their only "Celebration" for the Blue Bomber's anniversary. Nothing else. They didn’t care, someone made something good, they took it and advertised themselves as a fanbase loving bunch who love Mega Man. Facepalm.

And Sega? Sega needs to allow the few fans they still have to do what they want, and with the most recently announced classic Sonic game they even hired people out of the community because they have no idea how to do shit properly anymore.

Pokémon goes way too well in order to even think about endorsing or hell, even publishing rip-offs. Because no matter how extensive the ideas, these fans use trademarked names, concepts and in most cases official assets from the games. How can you expect to publish something like this, free or not, and expect to not get blown up?
