1. keep it a passion project, don't make money
2. don't advertise what you are planning too loudly until it's time for release. the internet is basically forever, if your thing reaches enough people before they smack you they can no longer kill you in a way that matters
If it gets too big for its britches/starts getting reported on it's more at-risk
A lot of projects get shut down by overpromoting/looking too official
Gamefreak has shown for a few years now they aren't really interested in fan games. While it might look like I'm super popular brining in hundreds of followers on my first day, my game is nothing in terms of popularity compared to many other projects.
Pokerogue with thousands of players actively online every day
Infinite Fusion with nearly 500,000 discord members and tons of coverage on TikTok and Youtube
Insurgence and Xenoverse with tons of coverage on Youtube
Yet these projects have been up for years (other than Pokerogue, came out 2024)
Youtubers and Gaming articles love to overexaggerate how much Nintendo really cares about non-profit fan games (bc ragebait = clicks), but in the last 2 decades only about 10-15 projects have actually been "shut down"
I have made 0 profit from the game, nor do I take donations. The game also does not publicly use "Pokemon" in the title ("Project" Vanguard)
So even after everything I said, I'm definitely still on the safe side
All it takes is going to PokeCommunity or Eevee Expo and youll see how little Nintendo actually cares compared to what people say.
I will do my best to be patient.
this fangame is looking real good, ngl, keep up the great work
Game looks great though, will DEFINITELY check it out!

SAKURA MEGANIUM NICE😁👍
Looking mighty fine though, definitely will try it someday!
If you want short, but somewhat in depth showcases of tons of other Pokemon fan games, you should check out my channel!
good luck and may the odds be in your favor
should also mention uranium was 8 years ago, and they apparently received half a million downloads in the first week of release.
Vanguard has been publicly playable for 4 years, and only recently hit a QUARTER of that number of downloads
