I don't agree with that at all - that's how art works. You take ideas and techniques and copy them, adding your own twist in the process. Art is about more than the aesthetic - the backstory is what gives it value. Stealing that is plagiarism, everything else is artistic inspiration... If you add nothing new you've made a cheap knockoff, which is very different from plagiarism
Palworld has its own lore, its own type system, its own battle mechanics, and as far as gameplay it's nothing like Pokemon. All it has in common is many creatures you capture in a ball, with designs largely based on IRL animals and Japanese folklore. They've made something new no matter how you slice it
