I should have specified. My bad. Partly because of basically no-one knowing what's going on with this mod yet, I know nothing and am assuming it's a free mod. I know for-profit are fair game in the cease & desist world. I know I'm opening myself up for a lynching by saying this, but I don't see Game Freak being able to make a Pokemon survival game akin to Palworld either suddenly or within the next few years given the lackluster performance of Scarlet/Violent so that throws competition out. As for image, Pokemon is already known for it's indentured servitude in the lore so beyond the argument of Palworld being less subtle about it, I don't think they have a case there either. At that point it comes down to scare tactics by sending C&Ds anyway or the usual large company strategy of keeping them in court long enough the smaller company runs out of money to defend themselves which I don't think Nintendo is guilty of historically but I could be wrong.
