Well it's also a little absurd because you can't actually copyright game mechanics. Throwing a ball to capture a creature would fall under "mechanics" I would assume.
You can copyright Pikachu and Ash Ketchum and Pokemon and the name Pokeball, but you can't actually copyright the game mechanic of using the ball to capture a mob.
Why is it absurd?
You think a movie should be able copyright plot elements?
It's absurd to call it plagiarism, because it's not a copyrightable thing. I was agreeing with you and extending the point.
