IMO there isn't anything.
If there was, then over the three years of development of Palworld, Nintendo would have lawyered up at some point. It's a Japanese company, so it'd be a local lawsuit even. We already know Nintendo isn't afraid of lawyering up, the Palworld Pokemon mod existed for like... 8 hours before getting DMCA'd the other day.
The statement says exactly that in my interpretation. "We have received a lot of emails telling us to look into this game. We know how to protect our brand. If there was any reason for us to intervene we would already have done it. Stop sending us reports."
