Of course not, because they didn’t do anything wrong. Just a bunch of pissed off pokemon fanboys pissed that Palworld was way better at the pokemon concept than Pokemon itself was.
I don’t think you have played either Pokémon or Palworld. Because they have nothing in common.
Yeah that’s kind of the point.
(Also wtf are you smoking? “Travel the world collecting animals to be on your team” is the core concept)
Except Palworld isn’t what you described. It’s “build a base and capture mons and people to out to work at your base so you can climb the tech tree and build guns to fight the boss mons”.
Yeah, ok? The fresh mechanics Pokemon has needed for a long time now. Also, still rounding up ‘mons to build a team to accomplish goal.
It was similar enough that Nintendo had to tell its fans to shut the hell up about it.
Palworld is the facelift Pokemon needed.
I mean…
I’m glad there are so many Pokemon, and that Pokemon were not unique enough for the most part to be trademarked, but if you think they didn’t lift very heavily from a single source you’re fooling yourself and making flippant accusations of your straw-manned opposition.
Also I’m questioning if it was actually “way better” or just edgier for the memes that games would latch onto and vehemently defend. It seems to have been very successful in the latter even if it wasn’t their intent.
Kinda surprising considering Nintendo has more hatred for the concept of Fair Use than a member of the Klan has for a Spike Lee movie.
Do people still play palworld or did it end up dying out after all the hype? I know a guy that bought it because of the hype, played it for a few hours saying how cool it was and hasn’t played it sense.
It got boring real quick
I mean it’d be like Nintendo suing Cassette Beasts.
I think GameFreak has sat in its own shit too long.
These indies are coming right up their ass with ideas that were just waiting for the Pokémon IP and now GameFreak can’t touch them. (The ideas not the lawsuits)
Nintendo should get sued for trolling. And if we are at it, sue Nintendo for using ideas and art styles from other games as well.
I don’t recall Nintendo trolling.
I do recall Nintendo, in the most polite and businesslike way possible, telling its incessant dickriders to stop flooding its communication channels with the breaking news that someone made a game with a Pokemon-adjacent concept.
