I leave my final case with this. I really do wish to see this series continue with all my heart but do what you think is right. I personally with my ideas and mind set continue on and if I hit copyright issues, just stop making it and hope that maybe in the future that things change and Nintendo is more excepting of these fan made things. I can't possibly feel these issues since I am not in your shoes TJ but just go with your gut and now that if you do continue, your fans will be with ya. as for me, I'll support you still since your ideas were awesome and just hope that another interesting series will spring up from you.
