There aren't even close enough to confuse someone who doesn't watch/play Pokemon.

If you showed me any given pal or Pokemon and asked me if it was a Pokemon, I couldn't tell you. They are obviously in the same style. But looking at that page I don't think they are actual copies, and I don't think anyone shown both at once would not be able to distinguish them.

I can't believe they have the gall to infringe on gamefreak inventions such as sheep and porcupines...

I couldn’t finish the list because by the time I got to shaymin it’s obvious that the majority of this is just picking out details that look similar NOT the same. Bunch of nitpicking with no substance.

close != is.

Unless you have solid proof that the characters were taken from Pokemon.

The Lion King characters look close to Kimba The White Lion

ReactOS is close to Windows

Close isn't an argument you can really fight upon. This is why we have so many knock-offs of toys, computer kit and the likes.
