Palworld was very explicitly cribbing from Nintendo IP. Down to the lead developers caught on record demanding that certain existing Pokemon be used as models for their content.
Also, the game was a bit of a flash in the pan. Idk if I'd conclude they "did it better" so much as they capitalized on a couple of popular trends to catch a surge of early adoption. Pokemon's been chugging along since 1996. Lets see if Palworld can survive a full three years, nevermind the next 30.
How were they stealing from Nintendo? And even if there is a record of some Palworld devs saying they want to use Pokemon in the game 1:1, that's not what ended up happening at all. The only ones who actually think PocketPair used 1:1 Pokemon designs are actually blind Nintendo fanboys.
