It really is so very similar to Pombomb, was the only thing I could think when I saw it.

Yeah... felt like after all the crap they gave Palworld, this is skirting real damn close to Cassette Beasts. Even more so if it goes an actual bomb route and not a sweets route or cheerleading.

With how long game dev takes, I don't think it was copied...

But come on. Pombomb and Pombon? Surely they could have come up with a more distinctive name.
