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.

[@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225]

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??!"_

Because this video comparison is trash, most of the pals take from at least 3 pokemon. And we are not talking about similar concepts. Some of the Palworld share 99% of the internal wiring.

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.

Game Freak?😂 You know the boss is TPCi, right? If TPCi tells GF to create a game within a year what would you expect? GF doesn't have enough time even if GF hires more people, the quality of the game will still the same. One game per year? How can quality be at least good with that time? They should take 3 or 4 years to create the games they used to give. The fault is at people who still buys their poopy games, and because they know pokemon will still sell even if they give you half of the game in a cartridge they will continue doing the same. The care more about money than quality 🤷‍♂️ I used to play pokemon but stopped after buying SwSh. One person wouldn't make a difference I know but I stopped supporting such a shtty company. Unfortunately even if palworld remains, won't affect pokemon. It's just like mario kart, no matter how many "clone" there are, they can't do anything against mk

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.

The gaming industry has been lying to us for years and trying to convince us that shit that isn't fun, was never fun, and will never be fun, is actually fun. Meanwhile, a bold indie title drops and changes how we see shit for a while, and suddenly we start to realize that the entire industry is being controlled by tyrannical companies. Naughty Dog and Sumo Digital got upset about Palworld. I can't really speak too ill of Naughty Dog, but Sumo Digital on the other hand... Sumo killed Little Big Planet, then started puppeteering its corpse. Sackboy A Big Adventure is an insult. And they wanna get mad at some indie devs for making a game that's better? Rich!

​@@ajlucky0076 The is no need for an excuse, there is no copyright infrigment here. They are similar? Sure,.They are the same or a barely mofied copy? No. If you don´t agree then where do you draw the line beetween inspired and stolen? There are 1025 Pokemons, does that mean you are no longer allowed to draw a chibi 3D dinosaur with leaves because of it? or a keychain? or a trash bag with eyes? Or a penguin? The objective and important thing here is that the design is "chibi", "3D rendered" and "anime-like"... You can´t own these concepts, you can own your character... but if i make a Snorlax with cat features, suddenly we have "Big the cat".

[@Juan-Far]

@@midnightdagger21 So... what's the problem then? That they weren't creative with the designs? Have you ever seen a JRPG? They ALL look the exact same, and no one cares.... But do it with pokemons and suddenly we have a problem? seriously who is affected by this? And at the end of the day they made a game for money, not in the name of art and creativity, the same goes for Pokemon... As long as no laws are being broken... then that's it.

@Juan-Far I think they actually stole assets from the pokemon games, like the exact model of Sobble's fin.

the similarities happens because they purposely copied the art style used in pokemon, that's the reason of the huge amount of similarities, there's a lot of games with monsters out there, and it's rare to see monsters that actually looks to each other, because the artist has it's own style, like there's huge difference between digimon and pokémon for example, or pokémon and shin megami tensei/persona, but here, the devs of palworld want to make a game with monsters that looks like pokémon, that was the main point of the marketing for the game, it's like somebody making an anime/mangá with art that looks like Akira Toriyama art.

Why would you compare a hellhound to a humanoid goatman? There are only so many ways to make certain animals look. The worst offender to me is Anubis vs Lucario.
