Is nobody aware of Cassette Beasts? This isn't the first Pokémon clone that has been made. As long as you don't use Nintendo's IP, they can't go after you.
This is not about the concept of pokemon but using actual assets from pokemon games. Edit: not sure why I am getting downvoted for saying the top comment had nothing to do with the statement.
Which hasn’t happened. There is no case to be made.
I dunno, man. Have you seen the videos? They've got the wireframes of pals overlaid with pokemon, and the size is exactly the same. Sure, the basic shape is slightly different and some accessories have been changed, but it's very close. The one that looks like Luxray has the same exact diameter of tail in the same exact spot - the only difference is that it's a bit shorter with a different tuft at the end. Really seems that for some of these pals they just modified existing assets.
The guy who made those has admitted to scaling/editing models.
I assure you they are not the same.
