Pokemon is not the first monster collecting/taming game. So they didn't invent the concept of capturing creatures. You can't copyright a concept.

[@arcticbanana66]

Gym Leader Ed did a video where he took one of those "Top 10 Best and Worst Pokémon Clones" lists and rated each game on the list on how similar it actually was to Pokémon. Surprising no one, it turns out the list was full of crap. The only thing most of the games had in common with Pokémon was having some kind of creature companion, and in many of them that wasn't even the core mechanic of the game. The list even included Dragon Quest Monsters, which predates Pokemon by several years, and ZOIDS, which is based on a toy line from the mid-1980s and has _literally nothing_ in common with Pokémon at all.

The slowpoke tails always canonically grew back. Kurt says as much in the Johto games. It's kind of implied they're like certain species of salamander/lizards where they can detach it if something they don't want to gets ahold of them, which makes sense since they fish with their tails. Wouldn't want something actually dangerous dragging the slowpoke into the water with them. The problem with Team Rocket is that they were chopping them in an unnatural way (which on its own could cause a lot of issues)and presumably they would have continued the second the tails grew back forcing the Slowpoke to go without regular food for much longer.

It also means the slowpoke can’t evolve until their tails grow back, which can take a while.

[@delphoxhoopa7289]

I haven't played Palworld, but I have played Yo-Kai Watch, so I can say with honesty that while both of them have a monster catching theme, that's where their similarities end. The lore and gameplay between the universes could not be more different.

[@Jintasan]

I do play palworld, I feel it is a different niche than pokemon. Any story it has you have to go out of your way to find even. It has base building stuff in it and I have mostly focused on that when playing. It feels, gameplay wise more similar to maybe fornight, but only from the feeling of base building and moving around, and by fornight I mean the original iteration of it, not the battle royal where you are fighting other people. I feel like the target audience of pokemon vs. palworld is different as well. I have bought every pokemon since the original red and blue, so I have played quite a bit of pokemon, and it is really just a different feel to it. I could not care less if there are similarities in design of the creatures in the game, companies will sort that kinda stuff out and file lawsuits if they want to, I don't see the need for fans to be up in arms about it.

It deserves it. That game is horrible to play and I'm amazed it scared Pokemon. The second game literally repeats the 1st game's story. Tutorials included

[@randomdaydreamer9970]

⁠@@weebcraft6829 Yo-Kai Watch has its flaws, but it amazes me that your criticisms of it to show that it’s worse than pokemon are that “The second game repeats the 1st game’s story. Tutorials included” because like, IS THAT NOT WHAT POKEMON HAS BEEN DOING FOR NINE WHOLE GAMES?????? You literally just criticized Yo-Kai Watch for the very thing Pokemon is explicitly well known for doing. At least the third and fourth Yo-Kai Watch games had the guts to change both the story and overhaul the battle system. Like I said to begin with, Yo-Kai Watch has its flaws, I’ve got a lot of criticisms of it myself. But your criticisms just REEK of someone looking for any little reason to hate the series. And just to clarify two things here. No, the second game did not recycle the story of the first. Its gameplay was incredibly similar, true. But its story was literally a time travel plot where Nate meets his younger grandpa. Its story is by no means great, and personally I wasn’t super intrigued by it. But it wasn’t recycled. And you claiming it was recycled really feels like you either didn’t play the game at all, only played the beginning, have forgotten how the game went, or are simply making things up. Secondly, Pokemon was most definitely never “scared” of Yo-Kai Watch. Pokemon doesn’t even really have any reason to be scared of Palworld, besides maybe plagiarism. It’s the highest grossing franchise in the entire world. I dislike how you frame it as Pokemon having no reason to be scared of Yo-Kai Watch because you believe the series to be bad. Pokemon has no reason to be scared of Yo-Kai Watch-or any other monster catching game-not because of quality, but because of the mere fact that Pokemon is Pokemon. It wouldn’t matter if there were a hundred far better monster catching games than Pokemon, it wouldn’t lose them much profit. The idea that Pokemon was ever scared of Yo-Kai Watch was likely made up by people who had no idea how anything works. You’re “amazed it scared Pokemon”? That’s because it didn’t.

[@sharkEnabler]

​​@@weebcraft6829 ??? the second game is pretty different like by a mile and the only thing it has in common with the first game, as far as i can remember, is a recap of the first game in the first twenty minutes to get players caught up of how we're here while the gameplay not changing much between 1 and 2 isn't exactly the best the changes they did make made for some very much welcome qol that made the game fun to play (also somewhat unrelated but yw3 was peak)

tbh everyone here hating yo-kai watch 4 is a banger and pokemon could really take notes from it

[@christiancinnabars1402]

I've said this since Palworld released, and I will continue saying it until the end of days: Palworld isn't a Pokemon clone. Palworld is an Ark/Rust "clone" with a thin layer of Pokemon paint. Whenever people say "Palworld is just better Pokemon," then I just think "You just like games like Ark/Rust more than you like Pokemon." Most of what I like about Palworld isn't stuff it does ""better"" than Pokemon. How are you going to make a manufactoring HQ base in mainline Pokemon games, which have no survival components and very meager resource gathering aspects at best? The stuff I like about Palworld makes me think "Oh, this would have been a cool feature in Ark" instead. In fact, if you spin that argument on its head and compare features in Pokemon to the present features in Palworld, you can argue the same points but in Pokemon's favor: • The type chart between the two games is like comparing building a brick house to building the same house but in a 1:100 scale out of legos. Palworld doesn't even have resistances, which in a proper competitive setting would mean the winner is just whoever brings the strongest offensive fighters. And this does mean Palworld's type chart is easier to remember, but that also helps in dragging the skill ceiling way down. • Palworld doesn't have an equivalent to even a single Special stat. A majority of RPGs ever since the 90s have included at least that in the form of INT. This _also_ really simplifies the battle system, since you just bring big number fighter with big number move and win. The opponent brings their own fighter with a big number defense? Well, too bad because there's no way around it outside of power scaling them to hell. • There are no held items. Yeah, saddles and some other craftable key items fill the part somewhat in buffing up Pals, but customization is otherwise extra limited and funneled into what the devs want you to make. Imagine the only held items in Pokemon being stuff like Thick Club and the Light Ball. • There are no status moves. The combat sometimes feels like caveman early game Pokemon where you mash Tackle or some other equivalent and hope your damage ratios are better than your opponent's. Healing moves, support moves like Light Screen and Reflect, buffing moves that can make otherwise weaker Pokemon shine are all absent. And I can go on and on about why Pokemon is "better" than Palworld. But my point is that Palworld isn't aiming to make a game with complex, competitive, and turn-based combat. Just like how Pokemon isn't trying to be a resource-focused survival game with base building and management. The Palworld-Pokemon comparisons beyond monster designs have always fallen flat to me exactly because of that. They have you train up the levels of multiple party members so you can boost their stats and become the strongest, I guess, which then makes them both Final Fantasy clones at that point.

[@miimiiandco]

I like Pokemon because it's Pokemon. I like the turn-based battles, the role-playing and multiplayer elements, and the variety of party members and composition. I appreciate seeing monster catching games of differ genres (even if it's just Ark with Pokemon), though. There's a lot you can do with the concept.

[@Hiddenmonkey10]

The thing is, the people saying that Palworld is "better" are speaking from a single-player experience. They really don't give a care about the competitive scene, and that's all fine and good for them! Pokemon has this kind of rift between non-competitive players and competitive players. The non-competitive players feel like Pokémon is abandoning them, and Palworld made a game that is really fun for non-competitive people. Hopefully, gamefreak realizes that they need the non-competitive scene as well. It seems like they're finally making adjustments and balances with the 2 dlc for SV. The biggest issue I have, personally, as someone who enjoys both aspects is that they haven't really done much to replace the HM puzzles. I'm glad we don't have HMs anymore, don't get me wrong, but they allowed for a lot of optional puzzles that usually either lead to cool items or secret pokemon. The pokemon we used to get are now easily obtainable without the puzzles and the items are just thrown about on the ground without any care.

[@Hiddenmonkey10]

​@@miimiiandcoif you haven't yet, I'd definitely recommend trying out Cassette Beasts!

[@Sammy_The_Umbreon]

Literally that last sentence honestly applies to FNaF World, since it also follows that gameplay. But nobody would ever draw a comparison between it and Pokemon. And that's exactly how I see Palworld. People who force this narrative of 'Plaworld will overtake pokemon. Gamefreak is shaking in their boots' fundamentally dont understand either or both of the games (and rather just want to 'see big company fall').

Why can't we just enjoy the monster taming/collecting genre as a whole? I'm a huge Pokemon fan but I'm also a huge Digimon and now a Palworld fan. Having played each of the games, I can confidently say that each game offers a different vibe and enjoyment.

​@iguessthisismyworkaccountl8437 I don't think all of the players are hateful players though. Especially those who don't use internet at all and just saw a game release that relates to something they grew up with and played it. I doubt playing a game is indicative of how someone is as a person. Yes a lot of people hate played hogwarts legacy because people were upset with its existence. However on the contrary some people who were upset about that game were harassing people to the point of death threats which fully contradicts the message and point about some other issues. Making those people just as bad as the person they're upset with. Palworld as far as I can tell has no issue like that in terms of creator or such. The creator of palworld does seem.more comfortable with the block chain and crypto but also doesn't seem to be interested in NFT at the same time. The game does have some obvious usage of designs but it also doesn't fall into plagiarism either as it is transformative enough to be counted as parody. The creator of palworld does also admit somewhat to using other ideas that people like, and blending them together to create something fun that people can enjoy. But yeah I do see where you come from for the negative front of palworld. Some of the players are truly awful but so are some from pokemon and some other games. Just depends on who you bump into.

[@SinisterPixel]

Some similar designs aside, I don't get why people call this a Pokemon clone when it's far closer to a game like ARK than it is Pokemon. The fact is, Palworld and Pokemon can both stand on their own. And do their own thing. I was personally following the Palworld project for years before it's Early Access release and loved the idea of it, but even back then I could tell it wasn't just another Pokemon clone. Having said that I do think it has provided some sort of wake up call to the Pokemon Company, who have since said in interviews that they are taking complaints of the previous few games a lot more seriously now. I like to think that Palworld made them realise that they can't ride the nostalgia train forever, and that they need to start creating games of better quality, because all it takes is for one monster catcher to come in, get the formula of originality/inspiration just right, and completely splinter the Pokemon community. PS, and I mean this in the nicest way, I would take some time to research Opera GX. I don't blame you for taking the sponsor at all but there's some incredibly seedy stuff going on over there, and I personally along with many others would not feel comfortable taking their money.

[@Xpancakes11X]

Personally I think one of the reasons Palworld took off as well as it did was because people who played pokemon as a child when it started grew up and were looking for a more "adult" themed pokemon to play. Nintendo wasn't ever going to make a pokemon for adults so indie devs had to fill the gap in the market (as they often do)

[@neo7655]

The wolf Palmon actually reminds me more of the wolf monster in Monster Rancher.....who I think is named Tiger.

[@LarusFotia]

Monster Rancher fan, hello!!!! You're right, it does look like the Tiger breed- but I feel like Tigers have more fur than the wolf Pal (i dont know the name) that it's definitely more distinct.

[@EtaryaFae]

​@@LarusFotia Tiger's have less fur (more head fur around face that is spiky, then smoother fur until bushy tail). But they also have horns and the blue color is on the upper half of body fading into white (iirc?) whereas Direhowl is more ringed in blackish blue/white. Like quite a few other designs, it just feels they they took two-three designs already made and fused them. I'm in a Pokemon ARPG, and we actually went through the PalDex to see which designs would be accepted as designs if type swapped (Depresso- Dark type Espurr) or fused (Dinossom- Goodra/Lilligant) pokemon. 😅 Some are legit, original designs. But most are just butchered pieces. Dinossom stood out to me personally because I love Goodra. Lamball felt kinda generic lamb- somewhere between a Wooloo and Wooly (Rune Factory).

A lot of AI assistants actually help perpetuate misinformation and even create it, including putting out dangerous claims like on allergy safety, health, and people's rights. We don't want AI to disappear from whence it came because it's scary or something, we want it to stop being given out to just anyone regardless of their intentions, and scraping the work of people in underappreciated industries to train it like artists and writers, yes including every time it's just casually used to generate memes. AI is important for good things like automating mass labour in analysis quantitative data in science and medical fields in order to free up people's work.

Palworld devs are based, no compromise on moral or ethics when it comes to delivering exactly what people want. They just kept adding fun features from other games and shockingly it worked. Those plagiarism arguments are pointless, if Pokemon could take it down they would have done so already, and at the end of the day if gameplay is good people will show up no matter what, and they nailed the gameplay, with a carrot on the stick of promised features to come - personally I was waiting for dlc before coming back to the game.
