Random idea I might make a pikmin/pikmin like fan game! the thing is what would I be able to make it without Nintendo taking it down?

As long as none of the characters are or look just like Pikmin, the game's name doesn't include "Pikmin" in it, and that no other copyrighted material is in the game, you are free to make and publish anything that is appropriate. Also, its SmileBasic that takes down infringing games, not Nintendo. And good luck! I'd love to play it!

Well it Nintendos game so thats why I said Nintendo. Also thanks dude! Its going to be hard to come up with pikmin like creatures
