Toho doesn't own Solomon or Red at all. They were in an online story, all of which is fair use. Unless the creator made it for Toho, it doesn't belong to Toho at all. Only the NES game and the canon characters do. It could be a good idea for Toho to get some rights, but that would be three different groups owning two products. One is coming out with a series that has potential to be "twelve games long" that sounds revolutionary, the creator one of the largest franchises of all time, and an Internet browser who would own most of it. Maybe it isn't worthy of the edit.
