They wouldn’t have a leg to stand on legally, but it puts me off that a lot of the designs are just blatantly copycats. There are great monster catching games out there with actual original designs that would kill for 5% of the attention Palworld got.
C’mon dude, cartoon animals doesn’t cover the amount of suspiciously similar Palworld color schemes and proportions we’ve seen compared to Pokemon like Cobalion/Lilligant/etc
Every complaint I saw was real world proportions that were similar to actual animals.
But I straight up don’t care even a little bit. You’re fully legally entitled to have characters that resemble someone else’s characters. There’s no “suspiciously” anything because being inspired by someone else’s characters with your own flavor is entirely legitimate and legal.

Copycats of designs of real animals in a similar art style?
