Inspired with some feature similar to the original works != plagiarism. I swear a shit tons of people just don’t understand what’s the nature of plagiarism is at all before sprouting nonsense like this.

And no, that grin on a cat face isn’t original to Pokemon, Cat Bus from My Neighbour Totoro has it.

The Cheshire Cat significantly predates Totoro.

Exactly, grin on cat is nothing original at this point, it’s as aesthetic as Picasso.

Are we looking at the same picture? It’s not that it’s a grin on the cat, it’s that it looks nearly 1-1 traced from Pokemon

Also we’re past 1000 pokemon now and a huge number of them are based on actual animals, mythical creatures, pop culture references etc. There are going to be similarities and it’s completely unavoidable. You would drive yourself insane trying.

They know the difference. But some people just feel compelled to defend Nintendo no matter what.

Am a pokemon fans, and palworld seems mostly based on established pokemon roster, i can understand calling it uninspiring design but to go as far as call it plagiarism is quite funny.
