Recent multi-platform mega-hit Palworld, described as "Pokémon with guns" (with most of its gameplay similarities actually rooted in Ark) has already been accused of plagiarism by the fan community. The original designs are technically distinct, but it's pretty difficult to argue there was no inspiration whatsoever.
But modders on the PCs are never content to leave these tenuous connections in an unplayable form, so ToastedShoes on Twitter and YouTube chose to announce a Pokémon Palworld conversion mod — complete with footage of the mod in action. We do not have this footage, because Nintendo issued a DMCA strike on all videos of the mod within 24 hours. [h/t The Verge]
