Everyone's talking about how it'd get DMCA'd but... couldn't you just make it a ROM hack? Granted, you'd probably be stuck with 32-bit graphics (assuming it's a hack of FireRed or LeafGreen), but it'd still work pretty well. Moemon certainly does just fine with it.

There's other games that have had this sort of conceit that weren't taken down by nintendo. Shin Megami Tensei, Dragon Quest Monsters, and Yokai Watch to name a few. But they didn't basically make their characters thin reskins of pokemon either. :p DQM and SMT also have the distinction of being released before Pokemon though...

Unfortunately, both minecraft pixelmon and Uranium were taken down due to intelligent property violations. They were directly using established pokemon in there games without permission. Technically, Gracemon can get away with parody because they aren't using the exact shapes and names like the others were

It's a place where the rights of a large creator stop with a small creator's ability to defend their faces...

This whole series is awesome. I'm hoping to eventually see Gracevee and the Graceons. ...does that sound like a band name to anyone else?

Holy crap Bigger Gracemander looks badass.

Technically, it would qualify as parody, which is specifically protected under US law. Equally technically, proving that in court would be expensive in terms of court fees alone. Personally, I'd love to see the ACLU or someone devote some resources toward establishing a precedent implementing that protection. I see a creative market that is rather stifled by the threat of litigation, and a landmark court case could allow some fresh air in to the process.
