    Palworld didn’t rip off Pokemon in the way these Chinese clones are ripping off Palworld, though. Like, the marketing of the clones literally say players “survive with their pals,” like theyre not even trying to hide it. Palworld was pretty careful to avoid terms like “pocket monster” or “pokemon” in its marketing.

    Also, not sure if this really counts as accusing anyone of anything. He is pointing out that his game is successful enough to warrant multiple companies trying to rip off his own game. Honestly, you know you’ve made the big leagues when your products are getting rip offs in China.

      Some of the models in Palworld look uncannily similar to Pokemon assets. Could be the result of AI being used though, can’t really remember the details of the controversy back when it came out.

      Edit:

      Like these models seem to have similar designs for example

    The dude sounded excited that his games really really popular and that it might inspire some other cool games he might like.

    Slow day at the news desk there I see.

    Next year, we might see many…bishojo…raising games… These are incredible times.”

    Uh. Let’s, for the sake of discussion, hypothetically assume that 2025 is the Year of the Bishojo Raising Game.

    That isn’t what your game is, right? What’s the connection?
