i mean the game is over of the most high profile blatant knockoffs I’ve ever seen. I believe legal evidential reasoning is “res ipsa loquitur” which is Latin for “look at this fucking thing”
it’s not the concept dude; you can’t copyright that (though you can patent very vague shit apparently, don’t get me started). plus that’s how you get genres. some their creatures look extremely similar.
notice how we’re not talking about cassette beasts or ooblets.
It’s actually based on Japanese kids who would catch beetles in the woods and make them fight. Why do you think some of the first enemies you fight are bug catchers?

I don’t think Nintendo should get to own the concept. We’ve had dog fighting since before digital media existed.

If that’s why, then why are they suing over patent infringement instead of copyright?
they haven’t specified much so i don’t know. but palworld steals very liberally.

Those Japanese kids stole the idea from the dog and chicken guys. We should sue!
