I think this game definitely is like pokemon, because no one actually cares about pokemon's gameplay. What is "pokemon" to people is the character design philsophy which is why this game blew up so much, because people have been wanting a "pokemon" game without the same repetitive game design they've been doing for so many years. The people who actually enjoy monster collecting JRPG gameplay just go play shin megami tensei. Personally I think the Palworld devs did a great job giving the *feeling* of pokemon designs without just ripping it off.

Based on my llmited knowledge of US copyright law, the worst that is going to happen is that a few of the Pals might be redesigned. That doesn't mean Nintendo won't sue, and it's easy to go bankrupt winning a copyright defense case. The fact Nintendo already C&D'd the pokemon mod for palworld shows that nintendo probably knew about the game prior to that. I think they'd already have taken legal action if they were going to. None of the designs fail the 'squint' test -- meaning that the differences between conflicting designs are different enough that it won't cause confusion. Different shapes in some cases, different color palettes in others -- I don't think any of the designs are infringing. If anything Pocketpal will agree to change some designs so that Nintendo can crow about an IP law "Win" to maintain their reputation.

What is "Good" is very subjective. I get the feeling adults flock to this because they have wanted something that reminds them of Pokemon but isn't made for little kids. Palworld seems made for 12 year-olds but I guess that's close enough for Pokemon-adults.

8:42 if you think about it hiring people this way actually makes more sense than the more typical methods. That is assuming they went there and interacted enough to get to know the kid. Everyone one says they are passionate about this or that but it is a lot more obvious if you spend time talking to someone about things. Buckets of USB drives as version control sounds like a nightmare but also not as bad as it sounds but it depends on the details. It is turns version control into a manual process and very space inefficient. It is "save scumming" while making the games instead of while playing it.

Is the music to this video stolen from Pokémon? #Theft #CancelTheo #MatchedAudioPolygons

The Japanese quote is fire

More CONTEXT: This is outdated information - the account that accused the OP of "scaling to fabricate the evidence" was reported. The tweet was taken down and the account is gone (last i checked) I am a Technical Animator, I rig models for a living. I dont speak for byofrog - but I would like to add more info about the situation: what is "SCALING" Global sizes of 3D Assets varies for every project. if two 3D models of different sizes need to be compared side by side then of course the need to be resized to be inspected. The act of "scaling" does not constitute "tampering." Think of it this way - you have two images of different sizes in Photoshop that you need to compare side by side - free transform with locked proportions is what scaling is. The account that accused the poster of "fabricating" evidence - was shouting out loud "they scaled the model to make them match" - and everyone accepted it as ""evidence tampering" without knowing what "scaling" actually meant. It basically just means uniform re-sizing. Dont take my word for it - ask any 3D Artist what scaling means. It's basically a label that stemmed from a lack of understanding about the subject matter. And just because it gained traction - everyone accepted it as truth without verifying the sources. The account that called out Byofrog was reported - and the tweet was taken down, and the account gone. What is Fabricating actually? When the model itself is edited - by that - PARTS of the skeletons are moved, the shape is changed in crucial areas, individual vertices are edited- in order to change the model's shape / shilloute. Basically, moving body parts around, changing limb sizes, or number of fingers, or shape of a mouth - that's what tampering is. But doing a uniform scale - is almost a fixed practice in 3D modeling. Resizing those models so they can be put side by side to inspect the details is not tampering. Again, dont take my word for it - ask any other 3D artist.

your honor my client is claiming he was just being a bit silly.

I'm afraid the issues this game has is going to be ignored because people keep focusing on the wrong things; it's either blindly hated or blindly loved. So much misinformation and people talking as if they're an expert despite barely understanding how modeling, ai and game development works. There's alittle bit of that in this video to be honest. I keep seeing people getting a translated interview about Crafttopia mixed up thinking it was about Palworld for instance. This isn't their first game and they aren't as Indie as they are making themselves out to be, it's not a small team. I've been playing it on Xbox Game Pass (which is quite buggy), it's really bare bones with a memory leak at the moment but has potential. There's no depth to this game, it's nothing new beyond the capturing, which I do enjoy. There are some more unique pals that look nothing like Pokémon; I wish they had gone with a more distinctive style that sets at least most of them apart. The name is a little ridiculous, people are probably going to call them Pokémon over pals on accident. So much of the style clashes in game for me. The game looks good despite some of the clashing styles but everything looks good on Unreal Engine. It is possible they used AI for concept art but there's no way of knowing and no poof. We can have a discussion about this without being ugly and rude, otherwise no one will take you seriously. There is some shady stuff worth looking into. Looking at the model for Azurobe, it's clear that they either traced, referenced or changed up the model for Primarina, the tiers in the hair doesn't make sense on Azurobe because the hair ties that make it that shape on Prim are missing on Azurobe. Perhaps they couldn't make the deadline, and this is what they came up with. It also almost looks like they took the nose off of Primarina, enlarged it and stuck it on the tail, you can see through the tail that it wasn't meant to look like that, maybe a last-minute decision to try to make it look different, who knows. This is just an observation and speculation on my part, not an expert. If you didn't know about that specific Pokémon, you would miss it. Someone on the team was definitely cutting corners by doing this, they have the ability to not do this the more pals I encounter. I hope they evolve their style and work more on this game but it's possible that this is all we're going to get since there's not much of a roadmap. That is, if they don't abandon Palworld for another game like they did Craftopia. I can see why they did it back then but hopefully it doesn't become a habit. The Azurobe example is the main concerning one for me, but I haven't found any other similar examples showing that they traced the same flicks of hair. Even if they did trace/copy some of the character parts, is there anything that can be done legally about it or will it just be something that's legal but frowned upon? I wish they had shared more of their process and concept works.

Claiming that everyone wants Pokemon to be palworld and crying about “Nintendo fanboys” while projecting what oneself thinks on to everyone as if it should be that way is not the same as calling this stuff that’s literally being said all of KZread and even in comment sections.

Wow we needed this video. Makes all the controversies around palworld silly.

Despite your shirt looking like old school analog TV static making my eyes bleed, you sir earned my sub. You popped on my recommended. I have watched quite literally dozens of vids about Palworld and this vid beat em all. Your viewpoints and insights impressed me and your rant about naughty dog and TLOU2 pretty much echoed my own thoughts. I look forward to more of your vids. o7

03:00 if the scale is off originally that's not really a point. I can double the size of a picture too, still won't make it mine. The models are all eeeerily similar, the whole art direction is like on point Nintendo-esque. I'm not defending Nintendo at all, but it's CLEARLY a rip off. A fun rip off.

I find it fascinating how they managed to mash up so many things and made it work. It's not something you can easily do and I admire them for actually pulling it off.

Im happy to have supported this game.

The camera edge one or two pixels off of the browser window was lowkey triggering, don’t know why 😅 Sorry, I’m weird…

What's really funny is that the tris.... match up. The models are direct rips that were spliced and shaped and lightly manipulated using the sculpt feature in Blender, Zbrush, etc. I'd be interested to see a legal team that's actually familiar with copyright and the 3D modeling processes sift through this instead of a bunch of people on the internet that claim to know about any one of those subjects.

Nintendo cant lawsuit Palworld, cause lets be honest Palworld been in-development for 3years and nintendo nothing did, they in the same country, the only reason they made that statement was cause a bunch of pokemon fans didnt like other company making something like pokemon but different and they started to make up stories and even sending those comparisons to nintendo which led Nintendo atm trying to investigate if they can get a few bucks, but they should learn is how to make a innovate and fun game, cause pokemon games have fallen to the ground in concepts, tech, pokemon designs, lack of innovation, its pretty much same formula over and over, look at their last innovation placing hats on pokemon wow so amazing, Nintendo cant lawsuit them and people are just mad cause finaly someone took the monster catch system and made it into success without having pokemon tag on it.

God this vid came out in perfect timing. Couldnt agree more.

Crazy thing is I haven't bought this yet, but fully intend to.

I heard 7million and heard 7 billion copies sold for a second I WAS LIKE DAMN THEY SOLD TO THE WHOLE WORLD

To me this is like Ark, BOTW and Pokemon merged into one, so I totally dig it.

The next pal I give a gun to, I’m gonna name him MURICAAA. Thank you devs at pocketpair for thinking about us westerners when creating this blessed game. Yours truly, A Pokémon veteran

To be clear, while they have different niches, Unity isn't necessarily more fit for small teams. But Unity definitely has less built-in stuff that can be considered bloat. An empty unity build could maybe be a few MB, while an empty unreal build is already quite big. If you're not using all of those features, being on unreal can be pretty annoying. On top of that, while you can use nodes in unreal, you can easily end up having to do C++. Unity uses C#, which is way easier for beginners. It's also a bit harder to do source control with unreal. These are the reasons Unity has its niche of small developers, but that doesn't necessarily make Unreal unfit for small teams.

They have the cute aesthetic like Nintendo but game play loop way different.

If there were copyright Gamefreak would have gone after them the moment the trailer dropped and guess what they did go after one of the pals the looked super similar to a Pokemon which was removed from the trailer.

The Serperior comparison would probably have worked better with Dragonair honestly. Pokémon literally started as a digitised version of a childhood pastime of Japanese kids, bug fighting. Yeah stop comparing to cockfights kids, they're different things though both are cruel. Part of why TLoU Part 2 isn't doing as well too is Druckmann's blind support for IL has driven off some of the studios defenders finally as well, and this isn't speculative we were clear why we were done.

Dismissing palworld as just a copy of other games is like saying a band isnt original because the instruments they use have been used by other bands. Sure, a band could, theoretically, invent a new instrument, but using existing instruments in new ways and combinations can make a band unique. Just like palworld is unique despite many of the systems being very similar to other games. Its the way they put those systems together that makes it unique.

3:16 i actually just burst out laughing holy shit Peta undercover agent

I'm shocked with that Noti Dough.

Great coverage on this, love the smaller stories that make up the bigger picture!

If im honest, this isnt pokemon with guns, its ark with pokemon. The pokemon and ark game ive always wanted. I say pokemon, but could mean digimon or anything else, meaning monsters with elemental attacks and ark meaning open world survival base building, taming and boss hunting. This is a totally enjoyable experience for me and is why i put aside my "thats copied" biases

The fact people online don't know there are no original ideas only amalgams is hilarious.

the best argument against Palworld is a five minute browse of Lockstin&Gnoggin's non-regional fakemon the talk around Palworld has revealed people willfully ignore the difference between shared concepts (therpal and ekans) and shared designs (direhowl and lycanroc) because of the awful state of Pokemon in recent years Nintendo's taken down non-profit fan games with all original mons nowhere close in design to their own. A retail game with designs this close actually makes me worried for what otherwise looks like a very fun game and the competitor Pokemon's needed for a long time if Palworld gets taken down, or if its success sets a precedent on plagiarism that'll bite *everyone* in the ass sooner or later, it won't be surprising FORESHADOWING IS A LITERARY DEVICE WHERE--

There is a big difference between Palworld and those Pokemon fangames. Blatant trademark infringement. Because "Pokemon" is trademarked by the Pokemon Company, simply by using *the word* Pokemon in the title and the game itself, opens the doors for Nintendo to take it down.

Palworld is great and unique, can't lie. But conceptually it's very bare bones in it's current state which may or may not be the draw but I'd like to see more depth added to all the aspects of the game. The Pal types being less of a spreadsheet document and more of a flowchart in how they interact could use a large overhaul, it's one of the more compelling parts to Pokemon. The base building could be more robust, the crafting and technology system could use some customization aspects, the weapon system could use some diversity. Weaving a meta narrative into all the NPC factions would be great, more civilization hubs and a larger map. But that's nit picking. At the end of the day for a mashup of popular concepts made by a try or die small studio in a handful of years worth of time, and that it's still in early access with a roadmap to features they'd like to add and now a decent cashflow to put some R&D back into the game it'll be cool to see where they go. Love Nintendo's nonanswer about wanting to step in on them, a very legalese writeup of "we know, stop sending us emails about it".

they had a budget of $10,000 at the start and have sold over 7 million copies costing around $26.99 until the 10% from steam goes away making it $30 meaning they've made roughly $188,930,000 so saying that no bullshit from some companies legal team that actually has no ground to stand on doesn't happen I would say they will definietly not abandon palworld unlike their previous games...who knows they may even try working on the previous ones again as well if they get more than the team of 40 who worked on palworld

@@walkingmadnesscrawlingsanity it's always hard to tell what someone's creative vision is gonna be, there's the dichotomy of Fallout 76 vs No Man's Sky and how companies handle success and there's plenty of games that never left early access. The real upside is that a game making these kinds of waves makes other dev teams and production companies take notice and while I trust that Pocket will stick to their roadmap now that they've found such huge success, if they don't someone else will and ultimately as a long time Pokemon fan I really hope that Gamefreak looks at this and sees what people want and evolve their own franchise.

Get stones walls quickly,raids can, wipe. Out your base with overpowered raid pallas. My base got hit with pallas that looked muscled like machok.

Craftopia is from the same devs, which has been in early access for over 3 years. This is the only genuine concern I have.

The core fundamental misunderstanding is Pokemon is not just one game series. It's a franchise of manga, anime, movies, plushies, and multiple spin off games (Fighting Games, Multiple RPGs, Photography, Poke-Walker, Pinball, Trading Cards, Puzzles, and Poke-Park) So as long as don't look like Pokemon you can still just copy Pokemon just don't steal their characters. It's very simple. Black and white even.

I don't know why this video triggered the idea, but there should be a Palworld x Digimon crossover. Both series have more in common with each other than either have with Pokemon.

I bet they also moved away from Unity, due to the major scandal when Unity decided they were going to change their service in such a way that hurt smaller devs specifically, and seemed to make things not profitable for smaller devs. Not sure why anyone would risk working with Unity after that fiasco.

man thank you for having 4k, 1080p looks like pure sht for me on my 4k monitor

While the creatures look more like Pokemon and pokemon is the more known game, after sinking almost a few full days into this game it feels a lot more like an Ark clone then a pokemon one.
