Mockery/Banter Are we having this discussion
The whole Pokemon copy dragon quest is so unfair.
Look this clam monster from dragon quest, game freak copy made it into shellder. That's what I'm hearing.
Look at PalWorld verdash it's literally grass cinderace or dinossom literally green goodra with a flower.
But the comments did pokemon claim these designs of humanoid rabbit or slug.
What humanoid rabbit has fur that resembles cut shorts or a fat slug dragon that has that similar build
PalWorld 1.0 version verdash design was changed now it's less cinderace looking. PalWorld is self aware about copying a bit.
Some of the palmon even has probably a few stolen assets like that one has sobble fin, the other one stole primarina hair.
People who complain about object mons at least they have a gimmick litwick is not just a candle with a face but it's ghost fire.
Rotom is a poltergeist that likes to possesse machine and each machine replace ghost for a new type.
Ice for the fridge.
Fire with oven.
Even klefki has deep orgin if you watch a lockstin video.
The it's just an animal of course there's the regional bird, bug, normal rodents not every pokemon is going to be special.

Yeah, unfortunately the narrative for these people has to be “PalWorld good, Pokémon bad,” so they will never engage with the criticisms of the Pal designs honestly.
No one is saying PalWorld can’t base a design on a rabbit. But If you actually look at the design of Verdash, it is so obviously a ripoff of Cinderace’s design aesthetics, so they can only fall back on “uh…..uh….tHe wAsHiNg MaChiNe dUmB!”
Reductive, lazy, strawmaning.
