A lot of Pokemon are generic tropes, but some really are blatant ripoffs. I think it's pretty scummy of Palworld, actually.
But.
If Nintendo don't think they can prove a copyright violation, they shouldn't try to get them with some tangential thing, especially those crazy software patents of all things.
I just googled and there are over 1000 pokemon. At some point it's easier to rip off a design than not. They themselves seem to struggle to make new pokemon that don't look like absolute shit.
