Actually, pokemon is owned by nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures. It's a joint ownership. Look it up.

Palworld didn't steal their IP. They very closely mimicked the IP and potentially with just enough legal distinction to claim its not infringement.

Your analogy would be much more relevant if it was i own a bike company and another company started selling bikes that were extremely similar to my design which disrupted my sales.

In which casez yes i absolutely would buy out the other bike company before i lost too much business and either close it down or absorb it into my own business. This is not a terrible idea its a fairly common business practice.

But ok...

Not even that. They took the broad genre and used it to make what fans have been asking for for literal decades
