As much as I don't like Nintendo's business practises to be fair in this case many of the pals are straight up copies of Pokémon with one thing changed
Definitely a good case for Nintendo here, not sure this is a winnable battle even without the overwhelming force of Nintendo's ninjas
This is
PATENT INFRINGEMENT
Not COPYRIGHT
This is patent trolling because Nintendo knows they don't have a case elsewhere
Ah, had thought the obvious thing for them to go for was copyright because of the obvious similarities
No reasonable person looks at palworld pals and doesn't see the heavy similarities with pokemon
