The Nintendo and TPC legal teams have been watching Palworld since it was announced. If there was anything actionable, they would have acted already.
Just look at the Pokemon mod for Palworld that was already taken down, less than 8 hours after being announced.
Or they're trying to make as much as possible off them from a lawsuit.
That's not how it works. Copyright infringement requires the company to defend its copyright. Companies are not allowed to just leave it for a bit if they do that then it's interpreted as them having abandoned their copyright.
Anyway there's absolutely nothing actionable because you cannot copyright basic ideas. You cannot copyright the idea of made up animals that you do things with.
That Link's Awakening HD fan game lasted for, like, a week, and that was barely anything beyond a direct copy. Could be there's nothing for the lawyers to litigate, or it could be they're building a broader case based on a cohesive body of evidence.
All that to say, don't mistake inaction for inability to act.
