I watched a trailer and was constantly questioning myself whether it was Pokémon with guns, or a high-budget clone (noting that there are many b-grade clones of Digimon and Pokémon that aren’t worth litigating against). My young child was convinced it was Pokémon throughout the whole video. Even cited which Pokémon each ‘pal’ was meant to be. I know this is for the patent, not the trademark, but doesn’t it cross a line when the likeness of a product causes confusion in the market? Ignoring the guns, as a whole it looks like Pokémon. I wonder if the reason they went after the ‘mechanic’ of Pokémon is because each individual asset is distinct from it?
