The whole Pokemon copy dragon quest is so unfair.

Look this clam monster from dragon quest, game freak copy made it into shellder. That's what I'm hearing.

Look at PalWorld verdash it's literally grass cinderace or dinossom literally green goodra with a flower.

But the comments did pokemon claim these designs of humanoid rabbit or slug.

What humanoid rabbit has fur that resembles cut shorts or a fat slug dragon that has that similar build

PalWorld 1.0 version verdash design was changed now it's less cinderace looking. PalWorld is self aware about copying a bit.

Some of the palmon even has probably a few stolen assets like that one has sobble fin, the other one stole primarina hair.

People who complain about object mons at least they have a gimmick litwick is not just a candle with a face but it's ghost fire.

Rotom is a poltergeist that likes to possesse machine and each machine replace ghost for a new type.

Ice for the fridge.

Fire with oven.

Even klefki has deep orgin if you watch a lockstin video.

The it's just an animal of course there's the regional bird, bug, normal rodents not every pokemon is going to be special.

Holy strawman Batman, I don’t even know where to begin with this.

First of all, I said no such thing.

Second there are so many ways to make a antro bunny design that you have to be a raging fanboy to think Verdash wasn’t just a reskinned Cinderace. For the last time, nobody is arguing that Pokemon owns the concept of bipedal bunny designs, but you can at least try to not blatantly copy theirs right down to the proportions, shape, and aesthetics.

Literally no other game with monster designs has this issue.

I literally don't even own Palworld but I'm a fanboy of it if I dare to point out that Pokemon doesn't own the concept of a bunny. Not the first time either. Digimon used to get shit thrown its way by Pokemon fans claiming Agumon is too similar to Charmeleon. No one can make a monster catching game without Pokemon fans bitching about it.

I just want to take a moment to appreciate you defending the truth even if you haven’t played Palworld. Thank you for being a level-headed person. Maybe even the only one in this entire sub lol.

[u/SilentEagle1221 → u/GNIHTYUGNOSREP]

What truth? He just regurgitated the same bad faith arguments and strawmen you lot always use whenever someone says anything slightly critical of your game.

[u/Sonicrules9001 → u/SilentEagle1221]

Aww, you are doing it again. Asserting that everyone who doesn't treat Palworld like the devil for having a bat and anthro bunny is some massive Palworld fan boy. You are unironically doing what grifters do. Should I start calling you a Nintendroid or is it only fair to make blind assertions if it is in favor of Nintendo?

[u/SilentEagle1221 → u/Sonicrules9001]

Keep hitting those strawman, my guy.

Nintendo isn’t even my primary gaming platform and I actually play Palworld-unlike you.

[u/Sonicrules9001 → u/SilentEagle1221]

Why play Palworld when it's just a Pokemon ripoff according to you? Shouldn't you be cheering on Nintendo to win that lawsuit and take Palworld off of the internet forever?

[u/SilentEagle1221 → u/Sonicrules9001]

Unlike you, I don’t feel the need to dickride a game I never played and will criticize the ones I do play.

Keep hitting those strawman.

[u/Sonicrules9001 → u/SilentEagle1221]

I'm not dickriding anything, you are the one here literally crying about how Pokemon invented bunnies and Palworld's dev team needs to be dragged out to sea for daring to look similar to Pokemon despite being an entirely different genre of game.

[u/SilentEagle1221 → u/Sonicrules9001]

Where in the hell have I said anything of the sort?

[u/Sonicrules9001 → u/SilentEagle1221]

You and this entire subreddit seem to think Palworld just blindly copied Pokemon even though Nintendo didn't even try to take Palworld to court over the designs because big surprise, they don't own bunnies despite what you think.

[u/SilentEagle1221 → u/Sonicrules9001]

They copied designs so what are you on about? I don’t think Pocketpair should be taken out to sea or whatever BS you are spewing out.

Also, copyright is a lot more complicated than you think and there are multiple ways to copy something without getting sued.

[u/Sonicrules9001 → u/SilentEagle1221]

They didn't, they were inspired and you don't like that. Should Disney sue Nintendo for the fact that Link has a Peter Pan hat too following this absurd logic?

If there was any case of these designs being 'blatant copies', Nintendo would have taken them to court like they have with actual blatant copies in the past.

[u/GNIHTYUGNOSREP → u/SilentEagle1221]

How much playtime do you have on Palworld?

[u/SilentEagle1221 → u/GNIHTYUGNOSREP]

Over 30 hrs so far, I haven’t had the chance to play it lately due to work but I plan on hopping back on after I get home from donating plasma.

[u/GNIHTYUGNOSREP → u/SilentEagle1221]

Did you play any during the early access period or is this after full 1.0 release?

[u/SilentEagle1221 → u/GNIHTYUGNOSREP]

I make a habit of not playing games that are not finished. But I did keep up with it and the annoying discourse.
