This is not about the concept of pokemon but using actual assets from pokemon games. Edit: not sure why I am getting downvoted for saying the top comment had nothing to do with the statement.
Comparing both games I think a few creatures like Cremis are on shaky ground, but even that might turn out to be fine.
What definitely won’t go anywhere is people making mad collages to explain how a pal combines features of such plus such pokémon. They don’t seem to realize that Pokémon doesn’t own every possible combination of features from those creatures,
I dunno, man. Have you seen the videos? They’ve got the wireframes of pals overlaid with pokemon, and the size is exactly the same. Sure, the basic shape is slightly different and some accessories have been changed, but it’s very close. The one that looks like Luxray has the same exact diameter of tail in the same exact spot - the only difference is that it’s a bit shorter with a different tuft at the end. Really seems that for some of these pals they just modified existing assets.

Which hasn’t happened. There is no case to be made.
The statement only says they are looking into it if they did, which makes sense to me.
Are you sure about that?
The only person who claimed the models were the same has admitted to scaling models for his comparisons.
The meshes are completely different. The actual designs are distinct enough.
So yes Im sure. Feel free to check back in a year or two when Nintendo have gone quiet and done nothing.

If the average person can’t tell the difference between a Pal and Pokemon enough of a case could be made to require changes to the assets.
Average person - my mom - can not even tell the difference between the official 500+ Pokémon.

The guy who made those has admitted to scaling/editing models.
I assure you they are not the same.
