    Alternative answer: Yeah, so?

    All media is informed by other media. All media copies parts of other media, often en masse. There’s nothing wrong with incremental improvements.

      Well, some media is more blatantly a copy than others are. The character designs in palworld are pretty obviously a blatant copy, even though the gameplay is more on the original side

          I never said it was? It’s a problem if we pretend it’s not true that the character designs are a ripoff, but it’s clear that people are enjoying the game and I don’t see an issue with that in the slightest

      Salazzle? Idk only female salandit can evolve into one and they’re known for having reverse harems, but that’s a bit of a stretch of an association given how, uh, overt Lovander behavior seems to be, assuming that’s the one that literally wants to fuck humans to crossbreed with them lol

    What about Dinossom? Can’t say that isn’t a Bayleef/Meganium clone.

      I mean, Meganium is closer to a Brachiosaurus, while Dinossom would be closer to a Corythosaurus… otherwise, yeah, they’re both plant/flower dinosaurs.

        Broncherry isn’t supposed to be some sauropod too? The name makes me think of “brachiosaur” for some reason. Also the long neck.
