This is the first time I’ve heard Pokémon accused of ripping off Digimon, the Tamagotchi clone released in 1997 that pivoted to becoming a Pokémon clone afterward. Or do you mean that later generations of Pokémon ripped off Digimon?

Sorry, fixed it. I meant Dragon's Quest.

Ah. Still not a very relevant comparison considering the evidence. There's inspiration, and then there's "ripped elements of the model and didn't even bother modifying the vertex count." https://twitter.com/byofrog/status/1749618893448982776

They don't have the same vertext count, and you can't just create a different model using the same number of vertices and moving them about anyway*. The author clarifies here:

*Or, you can, but it does not make it any more simple to copy a different design. Maybe the hair could use a brush or something to change it quickly but for the rest of the Pal it would be useless.
