Gym Leader Ed did a video where he took one of those "Top 10 Best and Worst Pokémon Clones" lists and rated each game on the list on how similar it actually was to Pokémon. Surprising no one, it turns out the list was full of crap. The only thing most of the games had in common with Pokémon was having some kind of creature companion, and in many of them that wasn't even the core mechanic of the game. The list even included Dragon Quest Monsters, which predates Pokemon by several years, and ZOIDS, which is based on a toy line from the mid-1980s and has _literally nothing_ in common with Pokémon at all.

The slowpoke tails always canonically grew back. Kurt says as much in the Johto games. It's kind of implied they're like certain species of salamander/lizards where they can detach it if something they don't want to gets ahold of them, which makes sense since they fish with their tails. Wouldn't want something actually dangerous dragging the slowpoke into the water with them. The problem with Team Rocket is that they were chopping them in an unnatural way (which on its own could cause a lot of issues)and presumably they would have continued the second the tails grew back forcing the Slowpoke to go without regular food for much longer.

⁠@@weebcraft6829 Yo-Kai Watch has its flaws, but it amazes me that your criticisms of it to show that it’s worse than pokemon are that “The second game repeats the 1st game’s story. Tutorials included” because like, IS THAT NOT WHAT POKEMON HAS BEEN DOING FOR NINE WHOLE GAMES?????? You literally just criticized Yo-Kai Watch for the very thing Pokemon is explicitly well known for doing. At least the third and fourth Yo-Kai Watch games had the guts to change both the story and overhaul the battle system. Like I said to begin with, Yo-Kai Watch has its flaws, I’ve got a lot of criticisms of it myself. But your criticisms just REEK of someone looking for any little reason to hate the series. And just to clarify two things here. No, the second game did not recycle the story of the first. Its gameplay was incredibly similar, true. But its story was literally a time travel plot where Nate meets his younger grandpa. Its story is by no means great, and personally I wasn’t super intrigued by it. But it wasn’t recycled. And you claiming it was recycled really feels like you either didn’t play the game at all, only played the beginning, have forgotten how the game went, or are simply making things up. Secondly, Pokemon was most definitely never “scared” of Yo-Kai Watch. Pokemon doesn’t even really have any reason to be scared of Palworld, besides maybe plagiarism. It’s the highest grossing franchise in the entire world. I dislike how you frame it as Pokemon having no reason to be scared of Yo-Kai Watch because you believe the series to be bad. Pokemon has no reason to be scared of Yo-Kai Watch-or any other monster catching game-not because of quality, but because of the mere fact that Pokemon is Pokemon. It wouldn’t matter if there were a hundred far better monster catching games than Pokemon, it wouldn’t lose them much profit. The idea that Pokemon was ever scared of Yo-Kai Watch was likely made up by people who had no idea how anything works. You’re “amazed it scared Pokemon”? That’s because it didn’t.

Especially those who don't use internet at all and just saw a game release that relates to something they grew up with and played it. I doubt playing a game is indicative of how someone is as a person. Yes a lot of people hate played hogwarts legacy because people were upset with its existence. However on the contrary some people who were upset about that game were harassing people to the point of death threats which fully contradicts the message and point about some other issues. Making those people just as bad as the person they're upset with. Palworld as far as I can tell has no issue like that in terms of creator or such. The creator of palworld does seem.more comfortable with the block chain and crypto but also doesn't seem to be interested in NFT at the same time. The game does have some obvious usage of designs but it also doesn't fall into plagiarism either as it is transformative enough to be counted as parody. The creator of palworld does also admit somewhat to using other ideas that people like, and blending them together to create something fun that people can enjoy. But yeah I do see where you come from for the negative front of palworld. Some of the players are truly awful but so are some from pokemon and some other games. Just depends on who you bump into.

I've said this since Palworld released, and I will continue saying it until the end of days: Palworld isn't a Pokemon clone. Palworld is an Ark/Rust "clone" with a thin layer of Pokemon paint. Whenever people say "Palworld is just better Pokemon," then I just think "You just like games like Ark/Rust more than you like Pokemon." Most of what I like about Palworld isn't stuff it does ""better"" than Pokemon. How are you going to make a manufactoring HQ base in mainline Pokemon games, which have no survival components and very meager resource gathering aspects at best? The stuff I like about Palworld makes me think "Oh, this would have been a cool feature in Ark" instead. In fact, if you spin that argument on its head and compare features in Pokemon to the present features in Palworld, you can argue the same points but in Pokemon's favor: • The type chart between the two games is like comparing building a brick house to building the same house but in a 1:100 scale out of legos. Palworld doesn't even have resistances, which in a proper competitive setting would mean the winner is just whoever brings the strongest offensive fighters. And this does mean Palworld's type chart is easier to remember, but that also helps in dragging the skill ceiling way down. • Palworld doesn't have an equivalent to even a single Special stat. A majority of RPGs ever since the 90s have included at least that in the form of INT. This _also_ really simplifies the battle system, since you just bring big number fighter with big number move and win. The opponent brings their own fighter with a big number defense? Well, too bad because there's no way around it outside of power scaling them to hell. • There are no held items. Yeah, saddles and some other craftable key items fill the part somewhat in buffing up Pals, but customization is otherwise extra limited and funneled into what the devs want you to make. Imagine the only held items in Pokemon being stuff like Thick Club and the Light Ball. • There are no status moves. The combat sometimes feels like caveman early game Pokemon where you mash Tackle or some other equivalent and hope your damage ratios are better than your opponent's. Healing moves, support moves like Light Screen and Reflect, buffing moves that can make otherwise weaker Pokemon shine are all absent. And I can go on and on about why Pokemon is "better" than Palworld. But my point is that Palworld isn't aiming to make a game with complex, competitive, and turn-based combat. Just like how Pokemon isn't trying to be a resource-focused survival game with base building and management. The Palworld-Pokemon comparisons beyond monster designs have always fallen flat to me exactly because of that. They have you train up the levels of multiple party members so you can boost their stats and become the strongest, I guess, which then makes them both Final Fantasy clones at that point.

I like Pokemon because it's Pokemon. I like the turn-based battles, the role-playing and multiplayer elements, and the variety of party members and composition.

@Hiddenmonkey10

The thing is, the people saying that Palworld is "better" are speaking from a single-player experience. They really don't give a care about the competitive scene, and that's all fine and good for them! Pokemon has this kind of rift between non-competitive players and competitive players. The non-competitive players feel like Pokémon is abandoning them, and Palworld made a game that is really fun for non-competitive people. Hopefully, gamefreak realizes that they need the non-competitive scene as well. It seems like they're finally making adjustments and balances with the 2 dlc for SV. The biggest issue I have, personally, as someone who enjoys both aspects is that they haven't really done much to replace the HM puzzles. I'm glad we don't have HMs anymore, don't get me wrong, but they allowed for a lot of optional puzzles that usually either lead to cool items or secret pokemon. The pokemon we used to get are now easily obtainable without the puzzles and the items are just thrown about on the ground without any care.

I do play palworld, I feel it is a different niche than pokemon. Any story it has you have to go out of your way to find even. It has base building stuff in it and I have mostly focused on that when playing. It feels, gameplay wise more similar to maybe fornight, but only from the feeling of base building and moving around, and by fornight I mean the original iteration of it, not the battle royal where you are fighting other people. I feel like the target audience of pokemon vs. palworld is different as well. I have bought every pokemon since the original red and blue, so I have played quite a bit of pokemon, and it is really just a different feel to it. I could not care less if there are similarities in design of the creatures in the game, companies will sort that kinda stuff out and file lawsuits if they want to, I don't see the need for fans to be up in arms about it.

As a fan of Monster Tamer games I’m begging people to broaden their horizons, there’s so much more to the subgenre then just Pokémon or Palworld, theres rpgs, there’s rogue likes, there’s Metroidvanias, all with monster buddies. There’s a whole ecosystem of them

But most are just butchered pieces. Dinossom stood out to me personally because I love Goodra. Lamball felt kinda generic lamb- somewhere between a Wooloo and Wooly (Rune Factory).

Pokemon has been shown to take designs from other people also. Their not innocent either

Cassette beasts deserved the hype palworld got

Personally I think one of the reasons Palworld took off as well as it did was because people who played pokemon as a child when it started grew up and were looking for a more "adult" themed pokemon to play. Nintendo wasn't ever going to make a pokemon for adults so indie devs had to fill the gap in the market (as they often do)

Honestly, it's really disappointing that she did that ad sponsor. AI assistants do not comprehend sources, they really do skim and regurgitate information but slightly changed to make it appear comprehended, and she was misleading there. A lot of AI assistants actually help perpetuate misinformation and even create it, including putting out dangerous claims like on allergy safety, health, and people's rights. We don't want AI to disappear from whence it came because it's scary or something, we want it to stop being given out to just anyone regardless of their intentions, and scraping the work of people in underappreciated industries to train it like artists and writers, yes including every time it's just casually used to generate memes. AI is important for good things like automating mass labour in analysis quantitative data in science and medical fields in order to free up people's work. AI assistants for Internet queries are misuse and provide lower quality things than the work of the people writing the articles it scrapes from. We don't need Opera GX.

Good video! I do kinda wish you had gone into the bananas stuff with Pocket Pair's development of Palworld, like how they literally stumbled upon a random dude who worked at 7-11 and his hobby was making intricate gun reload animations on youtube, and hired him and that's why all the guns have incredibly accurate, detailed animations, especially the real guns like the musket. or how the CEO's plan was literally "keep working on the game until we are two weeks away from going bankrupt, then release it in early access". and that is literally what they did, "oh, we're about to completely run out of money? time to go on steam and xbox!" that's why it didn't have a release date until VERY close to the initial release.

Direhowl is one of those ones that... Like. I feel people are streching a bit much, it's a default wolf. it looks like a BOTW wolf, it looks like Tiger from Monster Rancher, It looks like Wolf link, it looks like it looks like every sentient anime wolf. It's just so generic that if you squint you can go "Yeah that's X" Its like the default wolf assets from which all wolf designs spawn.

As a person who likes ch design, I think the main problems are specifically the paws, the pose, the mane thingy, and maybe the way it's colored (socks, tail, and mane). Overall, I do like it, and to me, it has more husky vibes than a wolf, and I feel it looks different enough to be 'original' ig.

Palworld devs: (Watches the Safari Zone episode where everybody's got guns) _"Say, this gives me an idea..."_ *And thus, Palworld was born*

Some similar designs aside, I don't get why people call this a Pokemon clone when it's far closer to a game like ARK than it is Pokemon. The fact is, Palworld and Pokemon can both stand on their own. And do their own thing. I was personally following the Palworld project for years before it's Early Access release and loved the idea of it, but even back then I could tell it wasn't just another Pokemon clone. Having said that I do think it has provided some sort of wake up call to the Pokemon Company, who have since said in interviews that they are taking complaints of the previous few games a lot more seriously now. I like to think that Palworld made them realise that they can't ride the nostalgia train forever, and that they need to start creating games of better quality, because all it takes is for one monster catcher to come in, get the formula of originality/inspiration just right, and completely splinter the Pokemon community. PS, and I mean this in the nicest way, I would take some time to research Opera GX. I don't blame you for taking the sponsor at all but there's some incredibly seedy stuff going on over there, and I personally along with many others would not feel comfortable taking their money.

There's one Pal you missed from the trailers for your tierlist because it was so "potential lawsuit tier" that it was removed from the game at launch, and that's Boltmane, I think its name was

I'll be honest I don't think this will kill pokemon and don't think it will last past it's final update Also I wouldn't be surprised if the suddenly disappear off the face of the planet before even the second update

4:36 This argument never made sense to me because Okami and Zelda Twilight Princess had no problem making unique looking wolves over a decade ago. Same thing with Azurobe. Pokemon has three other snakes (Arbok, Seviper and Sandaconda) and none of them look like Serperior the way Azurobe does. 10:21 Nothing new here. Their previous work, Craftopia, borrowed heavily from Zelda Breath of the Wild, with the UI, paraglider and enemy camp designs being almost identical.

tbf they just yoinked the chicken straight from harvest moon/story of seasons and i think thats wild

Yo-Kai Watch has guns.

Palworld : Epic hour long fight literally on the side of a volcano, trying desperately to bring Jetragon's health down enough so you can capture him. You're out of ammo! You're out of medicine! You're Pals are all DEAD and your sword is about to break, but it doesn't matter! One more hit will kill him, now, you're just praying that you've equipped your legendary spheres, and not the ultra spheres, because you're so f*cking stressed that you can't differentiate between pink and purple anymore! 5%?!

Also, I want to say this. Like. Orzerk actually slaps. It's like, they looked at Garchomp and just went full opposite mode. Electric Orca Dragon instead of ground shark dragon? They basically stole a regional form of Garchomp out from under the pokemon company. 10/10 design, it's a great riff on the pokemon, looks amazing, I wanna see them fight. Verdash is like, trying to do this again and failing hard. Like. Grass Cinderace could work, they just didn't really do enough to make it stand out.

@Shaun_Jones

3 ай бұрын

I actually like Verdash’s design better than Cinderace; the tail really helps the design. I should mention that I literally could not care less about the plagiarism argument; if it didn’t violate copyright, then I don’t care.

The issue I have with people who say 'Other games had designs that were more distinct from Pokemon's, so why can't Palworld' tend to never mention that those games also tended to have very forgettable designs. It feels more like they want to say 'Only Pokemon is allowed to have good character designs'. The fact that Palworld's character designs are so endearing while not outright copying Pokemon is part of what makes the game so memorable. Original designs that follow a similar art style are naturally going to have similarities. And a lot of the critics like to bring up those similarities without acknowledging the differences. It's a lot easier for them to grab two or three vaguely similar Pokemon, and accuse a Palworld design of just being a mash-up, because they get to cherry-pick similar parts of two very different designs. Or in the case of the popular Verdash/Cinderace comparison. Critics are quick to bring up the similar figure of the two characters, but not admit the ways the two designs differ (color scheme, different tails, different ears, different neck decorations, different head decorations). They also tend to dismiss the fact that Pokemon took monster designs from Dragon Quest as being 'similar but different', while not affording the same leniency to Palworld designs.

Pal World is trolling so hard, but people seem to be enjoying it.

There are definitely some Pals, that draw from Beta-Pokemon designs. There was a generation 1 Jeti Pokemon, that never made it and looks almost exactly like a Pal. And the cat sorceress looks like a more cat-like Delphox wearing Mismagius.

Since you're exploring "Pokeclones", I'd like to recommend Cassette Beasts. A fantastic game that released around the same time as Tears of the Kingdom and was sadly eclipsed by it.

The truth is that palworld delivered something that people wanted and Nintendo didn't want to do, with elements that I like better than what they offered. Palworld isn't even revolutionary, but rather a variant of something that was made for a different audience. For me it's also much more a question of being able to play something I like on a PC, instead of buying a console that at some point becomes obsolete due to a developer's desire to close a game or launch a new console for a new version.

People 100% eat pokemons... in both ways.

Everyone ripped off megaten lol, I followed the trail back from Palworld, to Pokémon, to dragon quest, to shin magami tensei. I honestly had no idea how old the monster catching idea actually is. With that being said I’m now a huge fan of Dragon Quest and SMT… so thanks Pal World

Every time Pokemon VS Palword pops up, Shin Megami Tensei and Digimon are left in the dirt. SMT was the original monster tamer game, yet it's ignored because it has an overall darker storyline and focuses on demons, religion, and gods. And Digimon fills in the whole monsters with guns bit; MetalGreymon literally has nuclear missiles firing from his chest, Gargomon has Miniguns for hands, and there's countlesss other examples.

One thing is true, the appetite for capturing creatures for all sorts of purposes is still the same as when Green and Red were released.

The sheer number of "plagiarism" accusations thrown at Palworld makes me think people have forgotten what parody is

Palworld has some… _suspicious_ designs, but honestly I feel like it’s closer to an Ark Survival Evolved “knockoff” (used very loosely). The gameplay, crafting systems, and progression are _really_ similar to Ark. Which is great, because Ark is a buggy mess, and I’m happy to have something that feels the same to play but that _won’t_ randomly kill my favorite critter (that happened to me once in Ark- game bugged out and my guy just stopped existing). Throwing in the monster collecting system from Legends Arceus had me sold.
