Per copyright law in the United States, the designs must be 15% different to create one's own artistic copyright. They're several that are close, but 15% isn't that much. Obviously Nintendo isn't a US company, but it'll be interesting to set how this goes

Pretty sure this is a common myth. I'm curious if anyone has a source on this.

Who in Palworld even allowed release of the game with certain assets that look so much like Pokémon? I mean, it doesn’t even need that.
The author of the article doubts Nintendo will do anything, but they certainly will.

In other words, this is just them saying “shut up, we already knew and we’re not doing anything about it” to all the people that don’t know anything about copyrights that keep spamming them.
I mean. The guy who "broke" the story of IP "theft" in pal world admitted he made it up. Basically scaled models etc to make them look similar on purpose.
