To me this is the clearest case of using lawfare to try and suppress honest competition. Yes Palworld borrows some creative ideas from pokemon, but it so clearly a different game there's no question to it (if that's not different enough, then what is?).<p>In this case, I think Nintendo realizes their biggest cash-cow is pokemon so they _have_ to make a play to suppress any competition. However, this is very bad for the market imo and should be disincentivized somehow.
