oh I was never really desiring 3D pokémon in the first place so I suppose that coincides with my misunderstanding

Cassette Beasts? TemTem? Digimon? Saying no attempts to fill it were made is disgenuine

Not a Nintendo game

Your teaching professor likely misinterpreted the fair use doctrine’s wording. Apparently this is a common mistake. I made sure to look this up.

Both Nintendo and Pocketpair are Japanese companies and their copyright laws are MUCH more harsh. In fact Japan even lacks concepts of “Fair use”

Add to that the fact that public opinion also matters intensely in Japanese courts (think juries) and that Pokémon is considered a national treasure and well… Things are stacked against Pocketpair

It’s also tbh very much just “Super Mario Bros but more” in terms of well… Everything. If you like SMB1 and want new levels, play SMB2 Lost Levels.

It’s reminiscent of “wario master of disguise” which imo is good enough

And Japanese copyright law is one of the strictest in the world

Daedream and Depresso are a tad generic to me tbh. It blends in with the countless similar designs of “blobby goblin fairy” we have seen not only from Pokémon but in fact many other franchises. Reminds me of Sleepmon from digimon. I think you might like Sleepmon

I can see the appeal but usually such designs are salvaged by having them change into more unique forms later.

I’d be happy with just backwards compatibility

Certainly won’t fly in Japanese courts

Interesting. Reminds me of wario master of disguise

I would upload the dudes files but they’re MP4. Any good way to upload those to Lemmy? Or a good third party service you recommend I can link here?

It is actually with how it’s currently locked behind a Microsoft contract

Go look at Ark survival then. It got beautiful graphics and neat identical but more fleshed out gameplay

Which would be the good ending tbh. No more plagiarism problem and we have a good game on its own

And considering the treck record of the company (BOTW and Hollow Knight ripped off) I half expect the Palworld devs to either sell off the project or to run off with the money. Did I mention the company lead also runs a scam business (cryptocurrency)?

The Palworld fanboys are already trying to mental gymnastics their way out of this “It’s just PR! Gamefreak is bluffing!!!1”

To add to that. Here’s some analysis of a professional
