But I don't agree with how similarly they have designed their pals and the potential usage of pokemon models. It rips of artists hours of hard work without credit and is just lazy effectively...
Temtem created their own 'pokemons' and I never saw issues with the designs...
My issues with palworld is never the concept of the game itself because I loved temtem, that's built upon the pokemon concept. And that's the reason why you have 'souls-like' games.
Make use of the components of a good game that exists and make it better. That's how you improve.
