Yeah, that's because Digimon games are actually good, lmfao. You know X, Y, and/or Z thing that you wished so badly that Poke'mon games had done/had? Digimon literally did and had all of that, and more, but you just never knew about it because Digimon had really poor marketing in the West. Seriously, compare every Digimon era counterpart game to that of Poke'mon, and you'll see just how much Digimon innovates itself over time as opposed to Poke'mon which sticks to the same formula over and over. Poke'mon doing so is not a bad thing. It's just ironic given how most Poke'mon weebs openly mock other monster catching franchises despite them delivering way, way better products time and time again in comparison of.

In legal circles it is sometimes wise to let the offender collect all the money first then hit them with a suit as anything they make can be labeled as loss damages in a copyright claim. So yeah they took down the thing that was never going to make money right away, and are waiting for Pocket Pair to receive real profits before serving them as it would be relevant to the case and Pocket Pair would have something actually be seized by the court to pay damages to Nintendo in that case. Also Pocket Pair is a clear front for something so it also could be a request by the government to see what they heck is going on and where the money goes.

@@BardicLasher I'm on your side. My favorite video game genre is turn-based RPGs. Has been for over 25 years, and that's not changing anytime soon. If the next main series Pokemon game dropped the turn-based combat, I'd have to reconsider if I'd even want to bother playing it. Likewise with having very little interest in Final Fantasy 15 (let alone 16, now that that's a thing) because I saw the battle system, and was like, "But where are the turns and menus?" It's also why I've completely ignored the FF7 remake, and would rather just stick with the original.

Bruh palworld is just a goofy ahh cringe game with cringe pals and Pokémon is interesting, it has fame, it has games, mangas, legos, and actual good plushes

[@menacingpyro2005]

@@RowletRanger I was waiting for a fool like you to comment. You know what I think about your “witty ahh reply”? Creature of cringe, have you ever tried variety? Pokémon has been sane game new creatures for years. Plus, pal world is new to the block, they aren’t gonna instantly have good merchandise. Early Pokémon merch looked like shit. You were lucky to even get the good looking ones. You are just pissed another creature catcher game is giving Pokémon’s monopoly a small chip in the empire it has. Quit whining, you dumb glue-sniffing cretin.

Wait for Dragon Quest to come in and be like "Hey Pokemon..." then just point to their monsters that they made first. That look just as similar if not more so.

All that matters is whether a game is fun or not.

[@xSpyroTheDragon]

not really. But because of this kind of thinking Pokemon become what it is today. A cheap produced money making machine. Because people have "fun" with it and thats all that matters. Not the quality, innovation or wishes of the custommers with actual taste/demands

[@-fsa-3615]

@@xSpyroTheDragon What?, Thats not the reason pokemon became what it is today, People bought the games because nintendo released them, not because it was fun to play, even live service AAA games has been failing recently because it wasnt fun to play or even be playable.

[@xSpyroTheDragon]

@615 It doesnt make fun to me but thats the argument everyone use as an excuse to protect pokemon. They keep saying they dont care how bad it is because it makes fun. Ignorance was always the reason why bad things take form. Same with ingame currency, microtransactions and such. People called it always "optional" and accepted its existence instead of fighting it and now its everywhere.

[@-fsa-3615]

@@xSpyroTheDragon But everyone literally hates it though? Palworld became successful bc it didnt have the bs pokemon had, it wasnt expensive, it was as unpolished, it was fun, theres no microtransactions, no bs dailys

[@xSpyroTheDragon]

@@-fsa-3615 no the most actually like it or rather don´t care because they are ignorant (or simply are children with little demands and clueless parents who bought it). The reason why Palworld got popular is not because Pokemon sucks but: - it´s free - it´s more mature than Pokemon - it has Pokemon like Monsters so people played that too because it looked like pokemon (kinda like with adding a Mario, Pokemon or Zelda to a title and it automatically sells well) - probably the most players are also the people who couldnt play pokemon, because they own PS, Xbox Consoles or PC but no Nintendo consoles. Now they basically have an alternative and thought it would be like Pokemon. - masses has no advanced taste (thats why I often stay away from such high, fast successful becoming games, beacuse they mostly dont fit my taste and are overrated) and also tend to mimic others like theis favorite lets players/influencer and such. they have too mcuh power over people in my opinion but thats also the fault of the users too if they are so easily manipulated

[@MorglortheMangler]

Baa baa blast sheep is such an overpowered move. I’m also surprised that we didn’t see a battle between Salazzle and Lovander.

[@IgnatiusBlaze4]

Funny thing is there are some Pokemon that are or do have guns, ever since gen 1, Blastoise? Electrode a literal bomb, Dragapult that shoots its children, Eternatus a giant undead dragon cannon. I will say though, even Pokemon isn't original, it gets its catching mechanics inspired by the creator bug catching as a child, and the old kaiju and super sentai movies he used to watch, which also inspired the monster aspects to Pokemon. Then the RPG format, came from Earthbound, these are the 3 key ingredients that helped create Pokemon. Without it Pokemon wouldn't exist. Nothing is original, what matters is how you spin something to make it feel new and fresh.

Weird but I instantly recognized where they pulled the background setting from. Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, directly beneath the farm. Harvest goddess to the left, and carpenter to the right.

[@darkner2390]

Soooo... We're just gonna ignore pokemon like Genesect and Blastoise also having guns?

To make it kid friendly, they made Blastoise water cannons. Those are usually non lethal unless concentrated to high pressures

[@BuddyWhite616]

Most of the pals are 3 Pokémon mixed together to make an abomination

[@cobaltprime9467]

1:31 I feel like half of these are bad examples. There are a lot of legitimate examples of design theft but some of these either aren’t or are attributed to the wrong Pokémon. The Slowpoke one is more Clodsire with Sobble fins.

i don't know if any of you know this but they had a series called "if Pokémon trainers were smart". That is probably my favorite thing to come out of dorkly. hopefully they will make another video of it someday.

[@MainHealerHere]

😂 1:20 You can't be serious. Many of those designs look nothing alike and the others are literally inspired by REAL LIFE ANIMALS, like a zebra and a sheep. There's a reason Palworld wasn't sued and that's because thier designs are original enough to not be considered copies.

[@PeterDahu]

This comment aged well.

[@carbodude5414]

Palworld players wouldn't be in denial of the similarities. The obvious similarities are one of the reasons the game got so popular

[@lovemoviesful2]

Actually no, the similarities aren't even close to why the game got so popular, it's the gameplay, mechanics, *cough* slavery *cough* , guns, it's the game itself.

[@phoenixofthechorus]

If Nintendo wanted to sue Palworld, they already would have. The game's been out for a month now and people won't stop talking about it. Also, Wooloo/Lamball, Piplup/Pengullet, and Murkrow/Hootcrates aren't copies of each other, they're just all based on the same real-life animals. And the only similarity between Snorlax and Mozzarina is that they have a similar emoji face, they're otherwise completely different creatures. Same with Snorlax and Dummud, they just both look kind of dopey, they're otherwise completely different designs. Lopunny and Lunaris barely even look similar, too, they're both just humanoid with long ears.

[@THEEND4444]

They keep out Digimon because they know it’s perfect and there is no use arguing with perfection.

[@thegameplayer125]

palworld, the game that gave us the experience pokemon fans have been begging to receive for over a decade

[@heroofmasks]

Not really I've never heard anyone asked for a complete overword survival game with guns people wanted a complete open world pokemon game that they got with scarlet and violet. I never had any of the problems everyone else apparently had with the games my only complaint was it should've scaled based on ur badges it's 50/50 on people wanting the turn-based to stay I'm for it it give pokemon more of a personality then just being a regular jrpg like the ff7r. Outside of the game being polished b4 launch it was very close to what fans wanted well and add the ability to catch pokemon outside of battle via legends arceus.

[@Keznen]

Also, most of these examples are bad ones. Sparkit is a cat and the only similarities it has with Pikachu are its tail shape (which is actually more like Raichu's) and the fact that it happens to be a yellow electric type. Ironically, Eevee and Cremis aren't on here, even though those two actually do look extremely similar. Same with Lycanroc and Direhowl.

[@budgetproductions1178]

for lycanrock I already saw a similar looking wolf from 2d turn based strategy games in the early 2000s where it's name is Direwolf, making wolf based creatures will make similar looking creatures.

[@Keznen]

@@budgetproductions1178 Not always. Take a look at a real Grey Wolf, for example. There are many, many different ways to make a stylized design based off that.
