Anubis is 100% Lucario, they imported it on blender changed the pawns for hands and removed the dreadlocks and put a veil and called it a day.

But Pokemon doesn’t own the concept of cute monster with elemental powers, otherwise we’d never have had Digimon, TemTem, Monster Rancher

Yeah, of course, but none of those look like "hey, can I copy your homework" each one have their own, easily recognizable, distinct style

The only thing I've found surprisingly is how many folks really want to get offended on Nintendo's behalf. Like, I like Pokemon, but I don't give a flying fuack about this whole "controversy", or how sure some folks are of "what happened" like they were there. Nintendo is huge, Pokemon is one of the worlds largest IPs. If they find something wrong they're going to/ already would have torn this game apart, they don't need regular folks out there championing for them on their behalf

I'm not offended on Nintendo's behalf, I'm simply not a palworld simp.

I dislike both (Pokemon and palworld) equally, but is crystal clear palworld uses slightly modified pokemon assets, so I have no reason to buy or support palworld, just like I have other reasons to not support or buy pokemon games
