I disagree. There are a number of Coromon creatures that also heavily resemble some pokemon. I mean, it's to be expected, there are only so many variations of creature designs before they begin being similar to each other, especially with how long Pokemon has been at it, having like 1000+ creatures now.
Anyway, Nintendo is a greedy shitbag of a company. I love many of their games, but they're the absolute worst when it comes to being extremely litigious and/or consumer friendly. I truly hope they lose this legal battle
I think what they're saying, is that there's a sizable chance that Canada isn't far behind the US in sliding towards the same fascist future. It's actually occurring around the world. It turns out that if governments allow unbridled inequality to go unchecked for decades while common folk struggle to keep a roof over their heads and food on their table, it sets an ideal environment for the rise of fascist populism.
