GameFreak doesn't own an entire art style, suggesting that using a similar art style is them marketing the game as Pokemon with guns is ridiculous. If you're going to claim they marketed the game as Pokemon with guns then show the actual marketing, pointing at the art style isn't nearly enough. Hell, the game itself isn't even really like Pokemon, it has far more in common with Ark.

Uh huh.

It doesnt own an art style sure but character designs they do own and when you look at some of the Pals you can clearly see what some of them are trying to be inspired by. And again I didnt say that the developers stated this was the intent but again its kinda clear where the hook is coming from and the fact word of mouth is being used to describe the game as Pokemon with Guns and even to this day with it selling or having close to 20 million players that played the game its still being pushed as competition for Pokemon.
