Some are the designs are pretty close I will admit, even though I don’t think Nintendo should be able to randomly shut down gamea that are vaguely similar to Pokémon.

Is the art of Palworld similar to Pokémon?

The Deus Ex series often have pacificist playthroughs (3rd one definitely does, you can play a pacificist playthrough of the OG game with a few exceptions).

The Age of Decadence has a mostly skill check and conversation playthrough. I forget if it’s fully pacifict though.
