Where have you been? Pokemon go? Pokemon Unite, Pokemon sleep so many mobile games with the Pokemon franchise behind it lol do your homework before making such an opinion. Just because the west doesn't seem things doesn't mean they don't exist.

Why don't they deserve an apology? One of the biggest IP created by one of the most amazing creators who has sured their autism to show humanity anything is possible. Take a hike bruh they deserve more than that $11 mil and apology. If brokies can't afford a simple $1 mil to use their IP or anything in resemblance then they don't know how the business world and copyrighting works.

False, they have every right to sue, and they have gone after other smaller knock offs also but they are not so public knowledge as palworld. If Palworld was such a great thing they would've been more creative, use different colors at least and even just maybe alter a bit more the characters instead of using the same art style along other mechanics compared to a children friendly franchise tainting it with violence. The same addictive violence plaguing moguls like Fortnite with kids friendly graphics making them addicted at such an early age unlike call of duty or battlefield which you know is for a fact more of a mature content. But sadly many people won't know the difference and all the mechanics and psychology that goes into creating a true IP along with art styles and other mediums that caters to the audience that's being targeted.
