If you use the name "Pokemon" or something substantially similar, you may be opening yourself up to liability for trademark infringement.

If you're going to enable others to create Pokemon games and others will be using Pokemon Company International, Inc.'s copyrighted materials, you are arguably committing a criminal act under 17 USC Section 1201.

To limit your potential legal liability, reach out to 2-3 attorneys experienced in federal copyright and trademark law before moving forward with this project. Find an attorney you like and engage his or her services.
