Replying to @Turquoisphoenix
There have been multiple substantially better creature games than Palworld in the past year, but unfortunately Palworld is great for edgy clickbait so people actually paid attention this time and are eating that shit up.

i promise that sending game freak the message of "people will buy literal shovelware as long as we market it right" is not going to end how you think
the palworld vs pokemon discourse is so stupid because if you're a true Pokemon fan you'd WANT Palworld to be crazy successful so Game Freak will finally get off their thumbs and do something legendary. competition is healthy. it's a win win for consumers.

I went through the entire 111 list of Pals in Palworld to see what seems like a Pokémon rip off compared to not, because I’ve seen a lot of people talk about it but no full comprehensive list. Here’s what I found (it’s a lot) 🧵

I know it's the Current Internet Thing, but Palworld just looks like an asset flip "indie game" for YouTubers to milk for content until everyone forgets about it.

My god this dircourse is not happening because defensive pokemon fans want Pokemon to stay at the top. The issue is that Palworld is plagiarizising pokemon designs. I dont understand why this narrative of whiny pokemon fans is so popular when this so clearly isnt the root issue.

Although #Palworld looks great, if these model comparisons of Azurobe & Primarina are real then YEEESH

here's the CEO of Pocketpair talking about using AI to bypass copyright, generating fakemons with it, calling AI: Art Imposter a real-time image generation game, and being excited for games powered by GPT-4

Heads up to anyone thinking of supporting/playing Palworld who also cares about genAI issues... The CEO of that studio is full speed ahead on generative AI, frequently promotes it and tries to push its use in his studio. Even made a game focused entirely around it using SD.

Played a bit of F-Zero 99. I gotta be honest, I don't love it. There's just TOO many players that the racing becomes less important than it is just bumping around like idiots and reserving energy. The racing feels like it takes a backseat so far.
