I do think it's funny that someone saw Nintendo sue Palworld for copyright infringement and said, "Oh, you call that infringement? I'm going to engage in a level of copyright infringement that you two can't even imagine!"
Palworld is derivative, but they have a very strong case that they're not violating Nintendo's copyright. Pickmos, originally called Pickmon, does genuinely feel like it's designed to trick grandmas into buying the wrong game.
