Publish fan made app without getting removed?

I have made a pokemon app. Since there are other fan made pokemon apps, I thought ti would be ok to make one myself. I made a type match up app that shows the weaknesses and resistances of pokemon types, mono and dual type. The first time I published it this happened:

So it was a spam thing in the title or description. I read what they told me to read, and a little while I can to the conclusion that the description had to many repetitive words. OK no big deal, at least it wasn't because of copyright. I decided to change the title too. From Pokemon Type Match Up to Pokemon Competitive Utilities to make it more accurate since I plan on adding more features to it. I edited the description to match what I thought Google Play wanted bases on what I read. But this time I forgot to add a disclaimer which might or might not had cause what I'm going to explain next. So I published my app again thinking everything was going to be OK, then this happened:

OK, so It is not longer a spam issue and now a copyright one? I didn't understand what to do so I filed a appeal and said this:

and got this in reply:

Was this because I forgot a disclaimer? I don't know. This emails are too vague for me. I read the Content Policy again that related to my issue, and I still don't know how to write a description that doesn't break any policy. I would post the descriptions, but since the app is suspended, I can't access them.

Maybe it was also my icon and graphic image. Here they are:

This is my question to developers who have successfully published a fan made app: How did you do it? Feel free to ask questions. I really want this app published.
