The TPC was ultimately created to protect the Pokémon property and preserve a future for this franchise. I do not care how good or bad any plagiarist is, it is the right of TPC to force the company into a cease and desist.

Pokémon is saved. The most valuable franchise on Earth will NOT surrender.

This will be the most important trial in videogame and Pokémon history.

      Reminder that Yo-Kai Watch's localization was very likely deliberately sabotaged by TPC paying journalists to exclusively refer to it in a "Pokemon Killer" context, making damn well sure the effort was a complete and utter waste on top of all the existing articles about "YO-KAI WATCH MOGGING POKEMON IN JAPAN???

        Basically this. TPCi (well, its predecessor) remembers kneecapping Digimon with the same trick. The term "Pokémon Killer" is basically a death warrant for said franchise, because (1) Pokémon gets free press by being mentioned every time the opposing IP is written about and (2) the opposing IP never gets to garner an independent identity for itself, and thus dies off.

                Call it whatever you want, but RDR2 is maybe the only open world game that I actually felt like exploring places.
                Every place had something to find, or some lore behind it, or some environmental storytelling.
                Like this little abandoned town that I never thought much off, but then I stopped, I read some of the shit that was written on the walls, I noticed that it's church didn't have any cross, and turne out the entire town is abandoned because it was populated by satanists that were killed by the locals.

                Meanwhile in other games they put entire towns where nothing happens in them, it's almost counter productive how many locations they make only for nothing to happen in them, not even a single side quest.

          *Raughs*

          The uncontested success of Palworld means this franchise will go the way of Metroid, becoming a niche. This is a multimedia empire where the Aquilles heel has always been Masuda and Ishihara's indie studio where they got their fix for cocaine cash and money for hookers, never expecting it'd blow into the global success. That heel has been bleeding and can't heal, which is why it must be protected at all costs.

          You do not understand that Palworld is just the beginning. Pokémon has held the monster-catching genre alone for almost 30 years. This situation is far more dire than, when, WoW briefly had an equal number of players than FF14: it involves BLATANT plagiarism, with people of multiple levels of expertise and entire media outlets siding with GameFreak and TPC. There is at MINIMUM a case of plausible deniability that Palworld ripped off trademarked designs by TPC, but only that. It is not a Digimon case: these are PAINFUL ripoffs, especially if Palworld starts signing merchandise without paying TPC.

          This has to be decided to the satisfaction of a court. We are talking about an existential threat to a billion dollars franchise.

          And the PR crisis for Pokémon? Ah, that is no issue. You will buy it anyway, that is how it has always been, it how it will always be.

            The fact that people think the same surviva, crafting looting slop of the past 10 years brings innovation to the genre proves how pitiful the monster catching genre as a whole is, and how even Call of Duty or Assassins Creed have more effort and thought put into them.

              It lived perfectly fine in the form of games like SMT prior to Pokemon waltzing in. It lives entirely on "the nostalgia for Pokemon" because it reshaped the masses' perception of a monster collector from "a subgenre where you gather monsters to use as allies in some shape or form" to "an alternate name for a game that's trying to be like Pokemon".

                Slop that will be the talk of the internet all the way until its release in November because Pokemon consoomers and normalgays can't help themselves, you mean.
                Won't that be so pathetic? Palworld losing its relevance to such a thing? Something that probably took a year and a half to develop, and costed maybe a couple hundred thousand bucks, and then proceeds to sell over 10 million copies guaranteed JUST because it's a mainline Pokemon game?

      Meaningless gibberish, they've improved their games plenty over the years. The fact is there will always be something to complain about in every Pokemon game, and no matter what form the complaint takes, people will dogpile on it to exacerbate it to the point of justifying whatever spiteful behavior they wish to continue engaging in.

          You are doing exactly what I said. It's astonishing how self-unaware you are. In SV's case, people dogpile on the glitches/graphical limitations while dismissing the huge leaps in navigation, freedom, QoL, and storytelling compared to previous games. Like I said, there'll always be something to complain about, but it doesn't negate the actual progress from what older games allowed you to do.

              I mean you're literally doing it again by reducing it to "a bag of piss and thus automatically loses" as if the action of finding something to complain about invalidates the entire game. You might as well be an AI response following a prompt I put in for what to say at this point. It's just going to happen again with the next games. Bringing up Palworld selling millions is irrelevant since it's not like the consumer money was used on Palworld instead of on SV as if people could only choose 1.

                I will tell you now. I isolated myself from going online when SV dropped and played it to completion before going to see what any forum was saying. I fully enjoyed it and ran into literally 0 issues/glitches, just the occasional graphical stuttering at most around Tagtree. I thought others would enjoy it too, so when I finally went to see what others were saying about the game it was largely dogpiled negativity over bugs I never once ran into. The fact is I thoroughly enjoyed it in a vacuum, so I don't share whatever experience the mob goes on about that feels blown out of proportion. Like I'm not saying glitches shouldn't be fixed or anything, but none of it ever impacted my playthrough of the game, so I don't see why I should share any of the vitriol toward the game that others seem to exacerbate. It's not a matter of slurping boots since SV had little to nothing for me to complain about. If anything I mainly disliked the PoGo art direction.

The overall graphics are worst than ever, the characters designs is fricking awful when compared to older pokemon games, the gyms replacement are braindead, the pokemons designs are shit too for most of them, the writting is fricking cringy even for pokemon standards, and lastly, the story look okay to most of you dumbass only because the standard of good storytelling for pokemon games have always been really low.

            But I also recall having to pay $95 total to get the complete story of a game. Where I can pay $30 for a game that is in early access, no story and still have a more enjoyable time... and some how that game actually lets me skip cutscenes and dialog if I don't want to see in in a new play through.

          This entire "monster-catching" new game is a facade to a vindictive franchise of people too poor to buy a Switch. These are cheap games made by a predatory designer that makes a game and abandons it, going to the next one while introducing no changes or fixing the existing issues.

          It is a cash grab and this time, unfortunately, it worked.

            If you really think that the largest IP in the world isn't a predatory company that goes to great lengths to hold onto its overwhelming monopoly on a game format, then you are not an adult.

            Every Pokemon game admittedly is a cash grab. They only intended for Kanto and Johto before it took off. Which is why gen 3 was a soft reboot. printing off garbage for $40-$60 over the last couple of years when Nintendo has games from other IPs that out perform in story, design, novelty, and graphics on the same systems that Pokemon releases on is a joke.

            Palworld by comparison obviously looked at what consumers were looking for and presented a framework for the type of product they wanted. People have begged for an open world monster taming game pretty much since breath of the wild. It didn't come until Legends and SV, with minimal capitalization of introducing overworld game mechanics.

            The next few games (for the next few years) from GF will be similar roughly executed but show improvements on their game designs and story telling. Since it takes them so long to make new games, any competition with something like Palworld wont land until 2026 at the earliest.

            Plus Palworld was announced two years ago with the same monster designs, if they were going to sue, they would have then. Competition between game developers is important to motivate the changes everyone has been ranting about for years.

            All the seething from a game that's cheaper, has similar monster designs, and significantly different game mechanics and game elements is pointless.

Not calling it Pokemon, but adding official Pokemon designs? Illegal. Adding official Pokemon in your own artstyle? Illegal. Changing their name before adding the Pokemon in your own artstyle? Risky.

              Making a Pokemon game, but getting donations for other semi-related projects? Extremely risky. Getting hired because of your experience making a fangame? Could count as making money off the IP. The Keyword is "could" Risky. Putting a Pokemon fangame on your resume? Risky. Making a Pokemon game, uploading footage of you making it and getting ad revenue from that? Could count as making money off the IP. Very Risky.

              Companies? Legally count as people. Are companies actually people? Legally irrelevant. Anything that's legal for you to do is legal for EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Epic Games, Microsoft, Disney, Warner Bros. and Amazon. Any rights you have also apply to a gigantic machine that can afford more lawyers than you.
              Companies don't just win legal cases by being proven innocent/proving their opponent guilty, they also win if their opponent goes bankrupt trying to fight a legal battle. Any rights you have are more powerful in the hands of a company.

    Considering that we talk about two Japanese companies, they gonna be doing it on their home turf and trust me - unless GF will have 1000000% chance of winning this one (and they don't have), it's not worth even trying because Japanese lawyers are well known for not even bothering to touch cases where there's a shadow of doubt.

            Yes, that's the problem, Pokemon is becoming what it's not.
            Pokemon is about battling, not about interacting with the Pokemons.
            It's not a coincidence Pokemon's decay starts with XY and the introduction of Amie.

                Brother I grew up with the NES, played FF7/8/9/10, Pokemon Blue/Silver/Sapphire etc... I've been playing turn based games since before you were born, it's a very, very stale genre now.

                Just about everything in PW is better than modern Pokémon. Graphics, exploration, combat, movement, breeding. Pokémon is so one-dimensional by comparison that it's honestly pathetic, double so when you consider this is a early fricking access game with a $10k budget. You need to get Nintendo's dick out of your mouth and hold them to a higher standard.

                The combat in Palworld is just third person shooting with typings.

                >You need to get Nintendo's dick out of your mouth and hold them to a higher standard.
                I don't like Nintendo, they are the one who brought to Pokemon people like you who care about the "cute critters" and the wholesome adventures and exploration.
                That's not Pokemon.

                If Palworld can simply take away all the gays who don't care about the combat system away then maybe they won't have any chance but to start listening to those who do care about this franchise and it's core, the combat system.

      On contrary - with things like TemTem, Nexomon, Coromon etc being a thing there's fair amount of cases giving precedent for Palworld. Why TPC would mobilize right now when for years they ignored similar projects? Because this time it's big enough to actually hurt them?
      No lawyer will take this case and no judge will agree with TPC and even if they would, TPC would burn money on something that probably will be best just ignored.

      This is SOVL, just like Pokémon when it started. They were a bunch of guys who barely knew how to code, and somehow made the most fun game for a handheld console. And then GSC came to show a good coding and compression system allows you to blow away everything you did, and make it better.
      Then Gen 3 came, and (while being my favorite) was a downgrade. Was good, sure, but it didn't pushed the console's abilities to their best. Then Gen 4 came, and everything went downhill after that.

        If you don't expect me to judge a game as if it was an actual release then don't charge money for it, just release a free beta.
        Not that adventuregays and coomers will make anything remotely interesting out of it, they'll make some sex mod and call it a day.

          So every gen was EA, because they always needed two games to set the engine before reselling an older one at kids, well done. Just reiterated Pokémon's MO for the last 27 years. Good little sheep, you helped them here!

    Eh, not sure what's the big deal. The cool thing about Pokemon is how well established, and unlike our world their world is. Free healthcare, post-enlightment society where there is no war and minimum suffering, where society completely bend over and revolves around pets, where 10 year old can go on adventure to see nature, caves, mountains, and surf across ocean. Where the trees looks cartoony and nothing alike real world. Practically a utopia, egalitarian isekai.

    You boot up Palworld and you see photoreal unity assets and realistic guns, there's no story, minimum characters and worldbuilding. Meh...

      Pokemon world is just our world but the animals have fighting powers. There's numerous references to wars, gen 6 mentions poverty and famine, and Tajiri said the Pokemon are basically just dogs. The story of Pokemon has been severely mishandled, like most other aspects of the franchise.

        Yeah but all mention of war and famine were kinda in the past. They also go out of their way to imply everyone is kinda vegetarian, and noone has ever pulled up a weapon in the mainline (I know team rocket in the cartoon has rocket launcher, tanks, guns, etc.). The point was Pokemon world is different enough to ours, and Palworld is kinda too simila/realistic.r

          They go out of their way to explicity say they eat Pokemon. Nessa's home town says they have to be careful about over fishing. And it ain't catch and release, they say the fish there is tasty

          That's completely untrue. You eat Pokemon meat in-game. Why wouldn't you? The Pokemon are just beasts and dogs like we have in real life, Tajiri said so.
          >and noone has ever pulled up a weapon in the mainline

      I think that's why Palworld probably won't become remembered for years. Unlike Pokemon, there are no "characters" breathing life into it with an anime. No real story.
      The actual real reason is that the studio already gave up on releasing their Zelda BOTW clone (release due in 2021, but still in EA today), and Palworld, with a larger scale, is definitely going to remain in EA forever.

              when you develop anything that involves an image; be it an ad, or a video game, or a shirt, or a cereal box, the artist is hired to to create that image, and the contract necessarily involves forfeiting the rights to his or her creation. this is so the company does not have to later deal with the headaches of a notoriously unstable type of person deciding in a year or a decade that he or her changed their mind.

Illegal. Adding official Pokemon in your own artstyle? Illegal. Changing their name before adding the Pokemon in your own artstyle? Risky.

        Making a Pokemon game, but getting donations for other semi-related projects? Extremely risky. Getting hired because of your experience making a fangame? Could count as making money off the IP. The Keyword is "could" Risky. Putting a Pokemon fangame on your resume? Risky. Making a Pokemon game, uploading footage of you making it and getting ad revenue from that? Could count as making money off the IP. Very Risky.

        Companies? Legally count as people. Are companies actually people? Legally irrelevant. Anything that's legal for you to do is legal for EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Epic Games, Microsoft, Disney, Warner Bros. and Amazon. Any rights you have also apply to a gigantic machine that can afford more lawyers than you.
        Companies don't just win legal cases by being proven innocent/proving their opponent guilty, they also win if their opponent goes bankrupt trying to fight a legal battle. Any rights you have are more powerful in the hands of a company.

    Save and spread this copypasta. It has been triggering moderators and corporate dickriders all night.

    Palworld was made by 54 fricking people.

    EVEN MORE NOTABLE IS THAT 4 years ago, palworlds modeling team did not know how to model AT ALL yet and literally did not know what rigs were. They did not yet know the definition, literally. They still put out something that looks, plays and runs so much better than scarvio. Pokemon corporate shill drone "fans" have worshipped, praised, defended and based their personality around the biggest scams in video game history that arent freemium games. The pokemon switch games. Some have mindbroken so hard that they are sending death, bomb and legal threats to palworld devs and fans.

    Shit against pokemon won't stop stacking. Repeated Dexcuts, feature cuts, fugly graphics, bdsp, buggy games, plush price gouging in the usa pokemon center, the butchering of pokemon go, the replacement of ash and new anime views falling, pokemon partnering with at least 2 zionist toy companies and now palworld.
