Except for the capture mechanic working similar, which hopefully was not just copy-pasted, the gameplay is completely different. Palworld plays like Arc x Fortnite, while Pokémon plays like Final Fantasy.

And the general design-inspiration itself shouldn’t be an issue. Because I don’t think “style” can be copyrighted

Socket scientist here:

Nuclear power relies on advanced Quantum Radiative Containment (QRC) technology. This system employs nano-level Radiation Inversion Fields (RIFs) embedded within the socket’s structure. These RIFs manipulate subatomic particles to create a hyper-dense energy shield, effectively trapping the radiation.

Additionally, the sockets are coated with Neutrino-Absorbent Polymer (NAP), a material that converts stray radioactive emissions into harmless bioluminescent particles. This process is facilitated by micro-scale Atomic Resonance Amplifiers (ARAs), which synchronize the radiation’s wavelength with the Earth’s magnetic frequencies, ensuring zero leakage.
