I think reason why this got ended up taken down is because it actually got into media.

http://www.cnet.com/news/fan-made-pokemon-uranium-launches-after-9-years-of-development/

Generally, Nintendo's pattern on taking down fan games have been 'If it gets media attention, kill it.'

I was hoping that Pokemon Uranium would slip pass under Media attention...

I find it weird that only recently have fan made games started to get attention. Nothing like this was happening in 2005-2011.

We didn't had many online published news sites as we do now. In order to compete (Yay, capitalistic journalism.) They are usually ordered to publish news or blogs at nearly nonsensical speed.

 

Ergo, if it is a slow news days (Which this August seems to be), they seems to be publishing anything.

 

Uranium wise, it could have caused marketing confusion (Fakemons, sensitive ingame topics), and it supports online mode. Nintendo and Game Freaks likely hates putting Pokemon through sensitive topics thanks to apparently infamous media nightmare shitstorm they once had related to parents who sued Nintendo over 18+ Pokemon Doujin.
