    Pokemon has a cartoon version of nearly any type of animal and many other stuff to say it’s a rip off is like refusing a comedy show because some of gags have been used by the simpsons

      I didn’t say it’s a ripoff of Pokemon. I said it’s survival slop and that some of the pals are more than somewhat similar to specific Pokemon.

      I’ve played the game and was struck repeatedly with a moment of of hey, that’s just like x Pokemon. Like… Really very a lot just like that Pokemon… There are definitely pals that are designed to evoke the imagery and memory of popular Pokemon. Again, I don’t think that’s a bad thing, but you’d have to turn your eyes off to fully deny that palworld was inspired directly by Pokemon designs.

      I think that should be allowed. I just refuse to reject the reality in front of me. Pals are inspired directly by Pokemon and draw design inspiration from them. That doesn’t make them bad. Palworld is bad for other reasons.
