They can't, but they can definitely have copyrights on all their characters.

Yeah, the art style is incredibly similar. And that's called Misappropriation. The designs would have to be changed quite a bit from what they are now, mostly because several of them too closely resemble copyrighted characters Gamefreak has currently. These characters are not currently public domain, so they could technically file suit if this work gets published.
