Palworld Devs Says They Have Received Death Threats Amid Pokémon 'Rip-Off' Claims
Amid the explosive launch of Palworld and Pokémon "rip-off" claims, its developers have taken to social media to say they have received death threats.
You're viewing a single thread.
Found a list of pal and Pokémon comparisons. And frankly, I think it just shows how lazy Pokémon has always been. Sure the two sheep monsters and the two stingray monsters look similar, but that's because stingrays and sheep actually exist!
Should we start in on gamefreak for ripping off reality?
I mean people are WAYYYYYY late in complaining about ripoffs... People are so fucking absurd I swear...
People comparing Piplup and the penguin pal and I'm like: they're PENGUINS. They're small PENGUINS, how the hell do you want them to not to look like each other!?
Wait, that's it? There are six carbon copy palkemons? Out of how many? Like, you expect there to be some similar ones. Homages thrown in there.
For whatever reason that's not loading on my browser. Is that the dragon quest/pokemon thing? The pokemon-iest game played is Ni No Kuni 1 (I've sunk about an hour into pokemon black, it wasn't for me so I don't think that counts) so I'm just curious about all this from a distance I guess.
Yeah it's the same image. https://feddit.nl/comment/6335505
I posted the link first, but didn't bother to embed the image itself.
The point is that Dragon Quest came out 10 years prior... and it's literally the same thing that people are claiming today palworld to be doing... If Game Freak/Nintendo has a claim... Then Dragon quest has a claim to squash Nintendo. Nintendo will not win a lawsuit here unless they can prove that the models were specifically ripped from one of their games... And "similar" probably won't cut it.
Turns out that if you say "draw me a cute fire fox [Vulpix vs foxspark]" Lots of people will come up with very similar designs. It's just the nature of how we see the world around us. Foxes are a real item... make it a little chibi-like... throw flames in the 2-3 spots it makes sense. Well fuck! They're the damn same!
I should have clicked the link, I didn't realize you posted this too lol
That article sounds as if it was written by an AI
A lot of them are really blatant, there's a statue that's just Lucario, and one of the grass types is literally just Donphan
Honestly the gameplay loop itself reminds me more of Viva Pinata than Pokemon, and that's even with guns
