Per copyright law in the United States, the designs must be 15% different to create one's own artistic copyright. They're several that are close, but 15% isn't that much. Obviously Nintendo isn't a US company, but it'll be interesting to set how this goes

Pretty sure this is a common myth. I'm curious if anyone has a source on this.

GameFreak sucks big time, one of the worst first party devs Nintendo has in their roster, but Palworld is such a bland, uninspired and generic attempt at copying Pokemon that I still can’t fathom how it became so popular.

I mean. The guy who "broke" the story of IP "theft" in pal world admitted he made it up. Basically scaled models etc to make them look similar on purpose.
