Regardless of what you think, the threats and online abuse is totally unwarranted.
But yes this is totally AI generated Pokémon, the evidence seems clear. And even if a person made it, it would be suspect behavior to have those assets at all. I think the game is well done and fun, but did it have to come so close to being Pokémon? I mean even the blatant rip of pokeball capturing. The amount of time that went into this game, I feel, could of had some of its energy directed at making more creative assets and maybe a different mechanic that made it unique, and not quickly associated with Pokémon.
Having it be “Pokémon with guns” seemed like it made it a marketing success. I’m unsure if it would be as successful as it was without being so closely associated with an IP that people already love.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
