It seems like cloning games is a great business model.

So many of these modern successful games are obvious clones.

Pokemon deserves it since their devs are so lazy but in general it's sad to see these type of games succeeding.
There's massive differences between PW and PM. If this is a gameplay clone then everything is.

The fanboy mods are treating it is an Xbox exclusive. You can't say anything negative.

It's a fun game. In my experince it's lacking a lot of polish on Series X version, and as a JRPG fan i gotta drop it this week.

This game is an obvious ripoff you have to be kidding me.

Is this another Lies of P situation where fans in denial are going to pretend they don't see it?
Its not even the same genre, you need to look beyond character models.

Most people don't buy consoles for just 1 game. Thats the minority.
To each their own, my mom bought me an NES because I wanted to play Super Mario Bros. Got a Super Nintendo just for Super Mario World. Bought a PS2 just for Gran Turismo 3. A lot of people bought a PS2 just for GTA3. Consoles used to be cheap though so it was easy for casuals to just pick up a console for the game they liked. Now that consoles are $500 a pop it's going to take more then 1 game for most people I guess, but even then that might not be too accurate. Recent polls have suggested most people only play 1 game at a time. If you only play 1 game at a time you will surely buy a console for just 1 game, provided that is a very good game you just gotta have.

Oh sure, it's my fault, I'm seen too much into it, they didn't try to copy Pokemon... :ROFLMAO:

Pokemon has games in multiple genres, just because they didn't copy one aspect doesn't mean it isn't a clone, they copied as much as they could and as close as they could do it.

It's like saying Lies of P didn't copy Bloodborne because Bloodborne doesn't say anything about Pinochio.

Pokemon might have games in multiple genres but the survival genre is not one of them. Its the opposite of Lies of P, which used original assets to create a game like Bloodborne (or whichever one you pick), it seems to have cribbed some assets duri g development but made a very different experience.

So weird. This is 100% a Pokemon experience in an open-world. The survival aspect doesn't change the whole genre. It's like crafting in BOTW.

Gamefreak could release exactly the same game without change anything and slap Pokemon on it and nobody would say "this is nothing like Pokemon".

Pals = Pokemon
Pal Sphere = Pokeball

So unique and so much creativity totally not like Pokemon 🤡🤡
