That is an extremely valid point, and one I support and agree with.
However I’m more saying that I think it’s weird that people are even thinking it’s “cutting it close” that they even look like they could be Pokemon. It’s like the weird fake controversy behind that game Mouse that’s supposed to come out this year. Everyone was saying shit like “Disney is gonna come after them!” but again it’s just like: why? It’s an art style, you can’t put a copyright on an entire style of art that was used by almost every single cartoon company in the 20s-40s, just like you can’t copyright a design style like Pokemon’s.
