I'm so behind on Pokemon that I genuinely can't tell if this is a Pokemon or a Pal.

    As someone with minimal pokemon knowledge, only played two due to being older and not having Nintendo consoles really, I thought this game was a spin off till I realized no big pokemon or Nintendo logo anywhere. They must have threaded the needle to avoid that copyright infringment.

    As long as the mods are free (can't monetize on IP) most mods should be legally safe from copyright. But I'm not a lawyer so not sure how this works.

    Nah, once you start distributing the mod, be it free or not, it's copyright infringement. They can't sue you for the profits made, but they can still force you to take it down and pay reparations for any potential damage to their IP, as stupid as that may sound.
