If Nintendo were concerned about what Pals look like, this would likely be a copyright lawsuit.
AsPolygonreports, Nintendo filed for a patent on Pokeball mechanics back in 2021.

This is, of course, very similar to how youcatch Pals in Palworld.
The most famous example of a game mechanic patent isNamco’s 1995 patenton minigames during loading screens.

They exist to sell you things.

Well, it’s good for Nintendo."
