Palworld VS Pokémon - All Similar Designs (Comparison)

[@NintenUnity]

Here is the sequel with similarities between Dragon Quest and Pokémon: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYu7fH6YiKh0aZY (Dragon Quest came out first)

[@ixinor]

Dragon Quest 1 and 2 Monster Rancher/Farmer Pokemon Digimon Etc. Yeah, really stolen. Pokemon has no ground to stand on.

[@rainbowprism6242]

Your video is very disappointing. You stopped trying at 2nd half, and your effort was not that good to begin with. You ignored obvious fusions, playing down the way they stole designs. Get someone on board who can properly identify the pokemon designs if you cannot do it next time. Like the snow fox pal is not just Alolan Ninetails, it contains parts of design of ice eevuilution too. The Cheshire cat thing contains both Galarian meowth and Delcatty who has same tail and fur color. The green bear is fusion of pangoro and bewear. Should have just combined the green and blue dino pals pallets swap together since they are fusions of aurorus and meganium with their respective colors. You are like flat earthers doing flawed experiments trying to prove Earth is flat.

[@rainbowprism6242]

​@@kitsune-moon1 word: nickit. The small fire Fox was closer to design to gen 8 Nickit which is just based on fox rather than kitsune (which by the way is not accurate argument with variations of kitsune in mythology). It was fused with Vulpix to give it fire type and somewhat softened design that made it look a bit cuter in coloration.

[@Blackheartzero]

Pokemon Fans: "This guy is on our side, here to expose the truth that the monsters in this game are pale imitations of our--" NintenUnity: "So anyway, here's a sequel showing how Pokemon borrows monster concepts from Dragon Quest." Pokemon Fans: _"n-Nani??!"_

[@MS-yi2go]

So, youre saying that since they look alike, they have the same design? same thing that pokemon did with fakemon when they released scarlet and violet then right? nothing pokemon fans should complain about @@rainbowprism6242

Ya, there were more stretches than simularities! And some of the comparisions i was waiting for them to show other pokemon. Like dark zoura looks more like the one they showed houndom for!? Im not totally mad at some of the designs either as they are changed alot! But like the one that looks like cinderace, and Anubus and lacario, creme to eevee. I can deff see the same thing!

I agree that a lot look very similar but some others seem a bit far-fetched, for example the black owl one.

[@kaydee1485]

Yh some aren't even using the right pokemon or characters, that pal has a Honchkrow hat

[@dustymcwari4468]

Yeah its face is more similar to that owl from OoT and the one from Tropical Freeze than any Pokémon tbh And the witch hat and dark color scheme is okay because owls are often mistakenly said to be witches in disguise, and they're nocturnal creatures, so wanting to make them blend better with the shadows makes sense

[@PaintedHoundie]

No it's on brand. Some of these pals are even the same type as the thing theyre based on. Some of them are that might seem like reaches have a design in another pokemon not named. Like the pig boar thing compared it to zigzagoon but left out its also mamoswine inspired. Like lizard with clothes on its body is broad enough to not be straight up copying, but its directly inspired and is not trying to hide its inspiration. The black owl is noctowl but they left out honchkrow as well. But knowledge owl is definitely noctowl coded. Now some of these are different enough that they are their own concept in their own right. The knight that is ALSO the horse is an amazing design and nothing like that is in pokemon, even tho the design is taken from what the vid pointed out.

[@gavinw77]

I'm not sure if 'but here's a case where we didn't blatantly copy' is a defense. And I'm pretty sure they have copied something in every case. Even if its' not this Pokémon or that Pokémon.

because it's more like an inspiration. Even digimon has counterparts with pokemon. The reason why pals and pokemons looks the same is because what's copied by palworld is the pokemon's ART STYLE.

Some of these are so generally generic or plain looking that is hard to defend or argue that it's been copied or not copy/rip off. Lycanroc and the black wolf for example. If anyone else made another generic wolf creature then some would say it's just another rip off or copy paste.

I can't believe that there are some people still denying that palword is trying to taunt Pokémon by mixing and matching designs just enough to escape plagiarism claims. They recycle artstyle, stylisation methods, bodyparts, and even animations and sounds to create pals. I think the video doesn't really show the full thing, pals often take more than just 2 Pokémon to create their designs, and some pals are relatively unrelated to the Pokemon they look the most like, but you can still trace back exactly which Pokemon's model they used for X or Y element, for example the primarina hair. And no Pokémon drawing inspiration from creatures dragon quest didn't even invented isn't the same. Pokemon has a very distinct artstyle that you can easily identify compared to other creatures collectors, and no you can't fully replicate a stylisation method "by accident". And it's not an attack on palworld to say that, it's literally the appeal of the game, taking Pokemon's artstyle and running wild with it with gameplay from Arc, people who don't want to see it are just delusional.

[@sSwamzz]

well when you have over 1000 pokemon, there are gonna be some similarities. I feel like you can draw anything today and it'll look like a Pokemone. Not even ice cream or an ant is safe. I could draw an ant and if it goes viral, I'm getting a lawsuit.

[@Lapsio]

you don't own artstyle and style, that's just silly take. No matter how distinct this artstyle is, anyone can draw anything in given artstyle. It's not patentable, not trademarkable, not copyrightable. You don't need to replicate it by accident because you don't have to. Apart from Verdash... because like wtf it's just terrible.

[@artimist0315]

@@Lapsio I'm not saying game freak owns the art style or should sue, honestly f game freak, I'm just saying that they obviously voluntarily copy the art style and mixed and matched features from existing Pokemon to bring a "Pokemon feel" to the game, and that some people have too much bad faith to admit it. You can go a thousand different ways to create a universe, and if you look at tem tem or even Pokemon fan games that try to emulate the Pokemon art style, they still look distinctly not Pokemon, the colour palets, shapes, level of details and overall way the characters are stylised, and even the design philosophy is completely different.

[@artimist0315]

@@sSwamzz That's absolutely not true at all, in fact Pokemon fan games that try to emulate the Pokemon art style still land further than this game. I've seen hundreds of people all trying to create a new Pokemon game and non of the design really look like they could be official Pokemon, except the design from pal. Except if you get the same person designing or voluntarily copy the source material, it's impossible to get something this close, this consistently. When you look at other Pokemon like games such as tem tem, you can still easily tell them apart from real Pokemon. Either you are artistically blind which I'm sorry for, or just completely of bad faith, but I'm sorry to tell you it's literally impossible to accidentally copy primarina's complex hair design.

[@sSwamzz]

@@artimist0315 I mean you're making an argument literally over hair, body parts and other small things. And if your argument is that other fan made pokemon games, games that were made to ACTUALLY rip off the Pokemon franchise, have some "new" pokemon that don't look like any original, then what about the ones that do? Coincidence? Or is it okay because you feel you must take a stance because there's official action taken? I love both Pokemomln and Palworld, but it's clear that Palworld feels far dofferent from Pokemon. Also, the current lawsuit isn't even about the similar designs so the Pokemon company knows you can't go off of, as you are, similar hair or body parts.

@@clockworkNate I don't get why people see Palworld as a Pokemon GAME. It's not a Pokemon game, there's zero RPG mechanic, no story, no city, it's a sandbox craft game based on Ark Survival Evolved.

People are stretching here. The very first one you show you claim it to be a fusion of Pachirisu and Leafeon just for being a grass squirrel?

Now, of course Palworld is mimicking Pokemon artstyle for its creatures and of course some of them are meant to be inspired or a parody of existing mons (like Anubis with Lucario), but from here to say that Game Freak has the trademark on sheep, wolves and sea serpents is just grasping at straws... Not to mention that Pokemon too had very clear inspiration and references in its designs to things like Godzilla and Dragon Quest, yet you don't see an angry mob against Psyduck and Baxcalibur... Also, if there is somebody out there that is blatantly copying Pokemon, it is Pokemin itself, with unoriginal designs and models excused by the lazy idea of paradox mons, regional forms and convergent mons.

This video does a pretty good job of showing the similarities, ALTHOUGH some of the choices were not the best comparisons, for instance 6:44 should have been Bellossom. Regardless a couple of things are very clear: 1. Most palworld designs actually draw from multiple pokemon, so it's not EXACTLY a copy, but the influence is so obvious. 2. While one can argue that generic designs cannot really be copied (e.g. Lycanroc at 2:13), you can still see that they use VERY similar design languages. The art style is basically identical across the board; someone who has seen neither pokemon nor palworld will NOT be able to separate the 2. And that's a big issue for many It's still a great game though, which almost "justifies" the plagiarism. Almost.

0:00 That is a carbuncle from the Final Fantasy series, and you are not going to convince me otherwise. 0:39 I'll give you that there is similarity between crow with hat and owl with hat, but there isn't really any similarity to hoothoot other than a bit of roundness that the hat interrupts and the owl inspiration. You could just as easily put noctowl or rowlet there. 0:46 Replace the braixen with murkrow or mismagius. 0:53 That is Totoro from the Studio Ghibli film "My Neighbor Totoro" with an electric paintjob, and you are not going to convince me otherwise. 2:18 Are you sure you didn't mean to put wooloo there? It being a sheep with braids puts it a bit closer to this cotton candy sheep. 3:00 That is sticking to the source material (in this case, Anubis of Egyptian mythology). 3:10 Blue penguin looks similar to other blue penguin, but even more similar to all of the other blue penguins out there, such as Penta and Pentaro from the Parodius series, Sgt. James Byrd from Spyro. Even a prinny from the Disgaea games looks more like this pal than piplup does, and prinnies have the whole "explode when thrown" thing that matches this pal's use as rocket launcher ammo. 3:19 I'm sorry, but the only similarity that I can see here is fire-element fox, and they are based on different mythological foxes. The vulpix is based on a Japanese kitsune, which mythology says grows extra tails until it reaches 9, the reason for the evolved form being ninetails. The pal on the other hand is inspired by a creature from Finnish folklore called a "firefox", which is particularly notable for its flaming tail. 3:31 It has more in common with a blooper from the Mario games. 3:45 Mossy mammoth's similarity to tire elephant seems to be a pretty big stretch to me. 4:37 The developers joke about katress and wixen being so similar in design right in the paldeck entries for them. The newest update even gave them subspecies with the other's type and coloration to push the similarity even more, yet you give completely different pokemon for them to have taken their designs from, why? Surely delphox and mismagius could have been put down for both of them. 5:52 The only similarity I can find is the inspiration from gangster culture, and it's even different aspects of it they get visually inspired by, hoodie on the left, baggy pants on the right. I just can't accept this one as similar design. My quick description of Palworld is "legally distinct Pokemon with guns", but I am quite surprised at the stretching done with some of these.

[@renegaderaven3777]

The one at 0:30 is straight up just using Primarina’s hair without the beads. The one at 0:50 is probably using a similar hat to Mismagius. 1:05 is definitely just Soble’s head fin. 3:28 is definitely just Espurr’s eyes for some reason? 4:34 is just a modified Mismagius hat to have ears. 7:29 is probably based on normal Shaymin. Some of the comparisons are a stretch but some are just way too similar to be mere coincidence.

[@mikaruyami]

The reason Katress and Mismagius have the same style hat is because they're supposed to be aged witches and that's the standard "old witch hat" most anime uses to give the seasoned witch look. Also purple colour because that's the generic magic colour for witches.

The one comparison I will argue against is the Lucario one. In Egyptian mythology the god Anubis is a Jackal, hence why the pal (idr the name) has a clear ancient Egyptian aesthetic. Lucario is also a Jackal, but it has nothing to do with Egypt, and while there is an ancient Egyptian god who is a Jackal, they are not made-up creatures that derived from mythology. The fact that Lucario and the pal are both jackals is irrelevant because they are drastically different from each other in terms of aesthetics.
