By our double standard, Geno is first-party, even though most gaming fans, including at least half of all of the SmashBoards community, is aware of Geno's legal status. But fuck legal status, who needs it when it's not convenient for us!
Look we didn't say "fuck it" when it came to Banjo, we didn't say "fuck it" when it came to movesets, and we shouldn't say "fuck it" for Geno.
And Ton, I agree Geno would not be able to be used by Square without Nintendo, but I don't think Nintendo could use him without Square.
However, there's a similar case with Diddy Kong Racing DS where all the characters except Diddy, Dixie and Tiny are own by Rare. Rare said answering a letter said "we can still make a Bumper's Bad Fur Day" implying that they still could do what they wanted with that character.
We're trying to be professional about this right? Understand our limitations, and realize where characters fall into place?
Perhaps if Geno has too many legality issues it would be better to avoid him all together. It would also mean we wouldn't need Deoxys.
