It’s actually based on Japanese kids who would catch beetles in the woods and make them fight. Why do you think some of the first enemies you fight are bug catchers?
I don’t think Nintendo should get to own the concept. We’ve had dog fighting since before digital media existed.

Those Japanese kids stole the idea from the dog and chicken guys. We should sue!

it’s not the concept dude; you can’t copyright that (though you can patent very vague shit apparently, don’t get me started). their creatures look extremely similar.

If that’s why, then why are they suing over patent infringement instead of copyright?

they haven’t specified much so i don’t know. but palworld steals very liberally.
