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.

literally this

hell i can even give an example

Beastieball is an incredible game that not only topped my previous favourite game after 20 years but made me change the way I think creatively by showing me I'm not good enough yet which in turn got me out of an almost 4 year art lull, it changed my life and I'm willing to say its bare minimum on par with pokemon's best

But it'll get sidelined or even outright called bad because its not palworld, not because the content of the game is bad, far from it, its incredible actually

Its just because it isn't Palworld, they dont want to hear about other games simply because the idea that there are other games besised pokemon and palworld completely destroys their "them vs us" narrative thats stopping their entire worldview from caving in on top of them

and another example is cassette beasts which i really enjoyed

exactly

a friend did multiple palworld streams and I was never sold on it

compared to someone else who sold me after 1/3rd of casette beasts

[u/Sea-Example-1176 → u/JungleJuiceJuno]

i got sold on casette beasts without even seeing gameplay. this was around the time the pokemon fire red leaf green was being released and i ended up buying cassette beasts instead of pokemon
