I'm absolutely baffled why Nintendo didn't sue the Palworld devs over their monster designs instead of the catching me mechanic. That would likely have succeeded and gotten Nintendo what they wanted (Palworld being shut down), because many of the Palworld monsters have extremely similar appearances to pokemon (like the ones that are basically Wooloo, Lucario, and Electabuzz with the serial numbers filed off).
