If Nintendo can abuse the US patent system, it would seem fair for individuals to be able to freely infringe Nintendo's copyright.

(Note if you are making a Nintendo fan-project, DON'T ANNOUNCE ANYTHING until you get your first usable build ready for release!!!!)

If I knew more about making games, I'd be tempted to make a pokemon clone game and just release it completely free. Patents can do anything about things that are similar but free. I'd have a separate but optional "Fuck Nintendo, I mean buy me a coffee" $1 donation.
