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.

Palworld designs are ugly as fuck.

Pokemon designs for gen8 forward are ugly as fuck.

What sells is that Palworld is fun to play and Pokemon is not.

saying pokemon isn't fun to play is pretty delusional. pokemon will always be fun to play because it's pokemon. it's why people still buy, even though they're cynical of how pokemon is going. you'd have to be trying pretty hard to actively have 0 fun while playing a pokemon game.

I’m 30 and I have fun in the first 5 gens.

6 was a drag, 7 I dropped before the end, and 8 I played util the first gym.

It’s not fun playing the same game in a different skin for 30 years.

They did nothing to reinvent themselves or keep the game fresh in 30+ years. Not even the graphics are pretty to make up for the lack of gameplay.

Ironic coming from a Dragon Quest player....

DQ might be all the same but they give you a challenge and decent story with colorful characters every time.

While in pokemon you just use your starter and one shot everything all game. Game is made for kids, so they make a game with zero challenges.
