Worldie, you seem to be assuming the worst bad-faith interpretation of fans(including of people on here).
To be precise, I'm not "assuming", i'm specifically criticizing that part of the fanbase, which is the most vocal. I wish even half of the people trashtalking on the major media had the contexts presented by the other people who replied me, which as I said, are reasonable, and I even agree with some.
That's morally wrong, and they need to stop. Hopefully, the fact that they plagiarized a massive franchise gets this company smacked down, because if not, then they'll keep doing it. They probably have targeted smaller artists in the past and gotten away with it because those artists were obscure enough they couldn't object.
and this is where I refer with "It's Nintendo's job to fight it".
I specifically mentioned a couple episodes where Nintendo aggressively nuked people for *daring* touching their franchise, in ways that were not only not profitable but literally free advertising.
If Nintendo doesn't act against this, it means that in same way as they didn't for TemTem or Nexomon, they do not consider it plagiarism, or there are not enough "copied aspects" to consider it so. With how many sales it got (as I mentioned, millions of sales, currently most played non F2P game on Steam), as well as a ton of famous streamers streaming it, surely the game got to their attention.
If they do take action, good for them. If they do not, also good for them and maybe they can take some lessons on how to make a 3d world.
That said, all my complaint is on how the "big pokemon community" tackles these scenarios. Of all the random peperaging I see about it, most is just people either going into the Pokemon official streams spamming "PALWORLD" for attention (to the point the word is now automodded out), going into streamers that stream it to insult them, or going into streamers that stream it to say "hah finally a good Pokemon game". There is the occasional person asking how comes that Nintendo hasnt taken it down yet, but they're sparce, and large majority are just the two facets of Pokemon fans, aka "Pokemon games suck finally a good Pokemon game" and "Why is this copying pokemon it needs to burn".
To be fair, that's also on me for expecting the average person "on the internet" to be reasonable. I know I should lower my standard. Just after seeing this scenario happen for 3 separate franchises, it kinda bores me now.
