Highlights:

In the 24 hours since the early access game came out it already eclipsed Starfield’s highest concurrent Steam player count

“We had an emergency meeting with the Epic Games team and had them add an update to the Epic Games backend at short notice. We have confirmed that this has resolved the connectivity errors and issues when hosting co-op games on Xbox and PC.”

Does game freak or whoever owns Pokemon have any claim on this? The game doesn't infringe from what I have seen.

Dragon Quest 5 had a similar mechanic in 92, so GaneFreak/Creatures inc/Nintendo will never be able to have a copyright over the concept.

I doubt it. They don't own the concept of monster collection and fighting and such, and I'd say the designs are distinct enough. Not to mention all the other mechanics the game features.
