Everyone with sense would laugh anybody attempting to stir up shit out of the room on the basis that it would be entitlement on a downright cartoonish level for artists to expect to be given jobs, credit in any way, or for Game Freak to deliberately forgo making cool official monsters out of the goodness of the hearts.
Not to mention that plenty of fakemon artists do what they do purely to express the ideas they want to see in Pokémon and any of their ideas that get brought to life officially whether it is purely by coincidence or on purpose is payment enough.
