It's smarter to do so by making a sort of fangame that screams Pokemon all over the place but without mention it. More or less like Temtem or like Undertale was for Earthbound.
And the more Game Freak gets lazy the more open is that business opportunity. Who knows? Maybe someone ends up making a Pokemon killer for real.
