Both Nintendo and Pocketpair are Japanese companies and their copyright laws are MUCH more harsh. In fact Japan even lacks concepts of "Fair use"
Add to that the fact that public opinion also matters intensely in Japanese courts (think juries) and that Pokémon is considered a national treasure and well... Things are stacked against Pocketpair
Men will blame anything else for their problems before ever admitting that toxic masculinity might be the cause of their problems
The graphics argument is so weak anyway as Palworld is basically a more watered down ark survival with worse graphics and a pokemon esque design philosophy.
IS THAT FRIEZA?
It's also tbh very much just "Super Mario Bros but more" in terms of well... Everything. If you like SMB1 and want new levels, play SMB2 Lost Levels.
Nooo I swear this isn't plagiarized from Microsoft don't you see it's totally different? See? The resolution is different and the hue is too! This image has rounded borders yeah it's totally original!
(What their mothers are)
It's reminiscent of "wario master of disguise" which imo is good enough
And Japanese copyright law is one of the strictest in the world
Daedream and Depresso are a tad generic to me tbh. It blends in with the countless similar designs of "blobby goblin fairy" we have seen not only from Pokémon but in fact many other franchises. Reminds me of Sleepmon from digimon. I think you might like Sleepmon
I can see the appeal but usually such designs are salvaged by having them change into more unique forms later.
Your teaching professor likely misinterpreted the fair use doctrine's wording. Apparently this is a common mistake. I made sure to look this up.
