The difference is Palworld vs Temtem. While Temtem takes heavy inspiration and has some designs that feel Pokemon like, they try making it their own. Palworld draws so heavily from Pokemon that it distinctively feels like it takes too much from their design philosophies. Like someone emulating Akira Toriyama's artstyle.
Stylization is the key here. Gallade isn't stylized like a Megaman character. The similarities with it and Armarogue are larger than you're implying from an artistic perspective. Study silhouettes.
