Palworld looks like shit, but it's still better than any Pokemon game on the Switch

People white-knighting for Nintendo against a company that gave them an enjoyably Pokemon game.

It's been advertised forever. If there was a case, Nintendo lawsuit-happy lawyers would have taken them down by now. It was never a secret their design shared aesthetic with Pokemon.

Now that the game is out the assets can be ripped and directly compared, and so far the comparison shown by some people on the Internet have shown that many base models are nearly identical which is probablistically near impossible

Dude you are spreading misinformation.

I believe my own eyes https://twitter.com/covingtown/status/1749462735291859423. Remove the extra decoration and the underlying models are identical

Sorry to tell you but you are blind.

Reading the article explains that it's not that their aesthetic is shared, it's that some of the models are extremely similar to S/V models, beyond the likelihood of coincidence, and Nintendo plans to investigate if it's coincidence or actual asset theft.

[–] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 0 points 9 months ago

No they are not.

Do I need to play it now or never? I have a feeling this FOMO is driving some of their current engagement.

[–] Sparky@feddit.de 0 points 9 months ago

I decided that I will check it out when it's fully released (if/whenever that happened).
