It honestly feels like a very strange world where Palworld isn't investigated by Pokemon for infringement, but DnD is investigated by Nexon. Granted, I don't think either claim has validity.
Palworld has no former employees of gamefreak and is a completely different game than Pokemon and a completely different genre. Some of the monsters look kind of similiar to pokemon but they arent copies.
Honestly, all Palworld has to do is change a few models and they'd be out of the hot water. I do have to say though the few models that are noteworthy are HIGHLY problematic to a point of "X pokemon but color swapped"
And Pokémon did it to Dragon Quest.
There was an image of a Pokémon mesh or framework being very similar to a Pal's, but the author didn't mention they manipulated the size and perspective to make them look closer but other users noticed.
