If the wizardry guys were as petty and lawsuit happy as Nintendo, the whole JRPG genre would not exist

Really bizarre. This has practically nothing to do with Xbox. You think the welfarepass people paid anywhere near the 7m pc players?So funny watching all the xbots teaming up together to defend this game like it belongs to them.
All your hopes and dreams on a Pokemon knockoff from a random no name indie dev
Little proof? Get your eyes checked. The game wouldn't exist if it wasn't "inspired" by Pokemon. From the music, the look, the mechanics, the pals, everything about it is directly lifted from it. You talk as if you were playing Resident Evil or something
Are you seriously going to pretend you'd be posting every tweet, every milestone if it was Steam exclusive? You've been celebrating these tweets like it's some big W for Xbox. We ain't fools
Wow what’s with the anger? I don’t like Pokémon at all, but to rip into it like this when the popularity for this game is clearly predicated on tapping into the love for that series sounds like cognitive dissonance to me.
If “Palworld” (even the name is like a description of the Pokémon series) were released with wholly original designs that weren’t based on one of the most popular game series ever created, do you honestly believe it would have sold in the same numbers? I know what the answer is.
Exactly! They are acting as if the indie dev found some magical formula to sell 10 millions copies in 1 week. It's Pokemon, the biggest media franchise on earth. That's all the marketing you need.
Said by the console warrior himself who spammed same messages and annoying others in threads multiple times. Take a look at yourself before accusing others, botz

Many pokemon like games out there that didn't even come close to palworld success. So you're wrong.
None of them is as blatant as Palworld. Digimon, Yugioh, Temtem, Dragon Quest monsters, Cassette Beast. You would never mistake them for Pokemon, not even for 1 second. All of them are legit products, not bootleg asset flips made with Unreal.
This is Palword fans when Nintendo wakes up :
There is nothing wrong, nor illegal, about being inspired by Pokemon. Music being inspired by other music - not illegal. Visual design being inspired by other design - not illegal. You should check out copyright law, because mechanics are not copyrightable. Plenty of games are inspired by Pokemon. I'm sure as soon as you see this image you'll know what game it's inspiring to be - not illegal.Little proof? Get your eyes checked. The game wouldn't exist if it wasn't "inspired" by Pokemon.

All I am asking for is logical consistency in making these claims instead of devolving into a "Xbox has it so anyone who defends it is pro Xbox!" partisan line.

Nobody could mistake this as Pokemon, no way. Seriously some people were saying calling them "Pal Spheres" infringed on Pokeball, so I hope Nintendo goes after people using the Elite Eight as a naming scheme.

This places the onus on the popularity to designs being similar. You really believe it sold 7m copies because the wolf Pal looks like the wolf Pokemon? I think that is a pretty massive leap. Do you think most people can even name the pokemon they're allegedly copying from? Sure, it is popular because it is "Pokemon with guns" in the same way all Pokemon spin offs like TemTem and Casette Beasts have had a following because they attempt to follow a creative lineage. I feel as if the most obvious element to it's success is the fact it's an early acces, open-world survival crafting game - with Pokemon. People love that style of game and they do immensely well, look at Valheim which didn't have it. In fact the design spin that you can kill Pals, butcher them, or capture humans. These are design spins that fall sqaurely into the survival game design instead of Pokemon so I think it would logically follow people are more attracted to the possibility that game presents in that half than the Pokemon component. So sure, people like it because it's like Pokemon but it's certainly not because the designs are ripped straight out of Pokemon.

The people behind Pikachu and friends finally comment on the wildly successful "Pokémon with guns".

I mean… they’ll reskin the game while it’s live if they have to. I don’t see it being shutdown but damn that would be something. By the end of the week they’ll have sold upwards of 10 million and got their foot in the door.

At least it reinforces that when gamers really want something Thyll go out in droves to buy it.
