If a game copies what another game does but does it better and/or gives it own spin on things (which PalWorld arguably does, considering that you can have your Pokemon Pals fight with machine weaponry and also enslave capture people as Pals), I don’t see how that can be a bad thing. Otherwise, people should be up in arms about every roguelike Metroidvania or Soulslike game.
Yeah this is more of the pokemon fandom being deranged. Closest thing in memory was a few people complaining Bleak Faith stole some animations or something from Dark Souls.
The whole thing was resolved without incident and nobody threatened to kill anyone either. Most people didnt even care.
Yeah, people seem all over the place about whether a copied mechanic is “ripping off” or just a genre.
These pokemon-likes have no more in common with Pokemon than Street Fighter with Virtua Fighter, Tekken, MK, KI, Fatal Fury, Guilty Gear, DBZ, or even Super Smash Bros… and about 2 dozen other games
People keep saying that Nintendo is going to sue them or something, but remember digimon?
Pokemon isn’t even an original idea - they just took one aspect of the jrpg and took it further. There’s been countless games that played with the same concept - they’re very litigious, but they don’t have any standing against a game that doesn’t use their IP - and the concept is not their IP, the Pokemon are

Shin Megami Tensei did it first anyway. And Pokemon straight up stole monster designs from Dragon Quest.
Shooting at Pokémon with assault rifles feels so wrong. It feels like a weird mod that doesn’t match the core of the game.
I just saw a 2 minute video to form that opinion, but I’ll check more about it.
