Pokémon Company statement on Palworld copyright allegations sounds a lot like "please leave us the hell alone" (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

Any more info on the models? I'm seeing a lot of crazy claims and side by side comparisons and some are unconfortably close.

Someone from Xitter actually extracted the models from both Pokémon and Palworld, trying to "prove" that Palworld stole them. It had the opposite effect because the meshes don't coincide at all, and it's hard to claim that one is a result of the other being distorted.

This one is specially illustrative, between Lycanroc and Direhowl (that he calls "not Lycanroc").

So, a wolf

I get that the smooth model style is the same as current pokemon designs, but its embarassing that so many people dont know the difference between shared styles and actual rip offs

But it has legs and eyes! It must be a ripoff! PokémonFreak, sue them! /s

Yup, both are wolves. And once you go past that, they don't even look similar:
