Did PALWORLD Actually "STEAL" from Pokémon?

po World sure there's enough people upset with me already not like I can make it any worse why the hell is this such big news right now are we are we looking at the same thing you're telling me that we have all of these AAA Studios investing billions of dollars into the next AAA Blockbuster and we're all rushing out to play Pokémon version no we're not stopping for a cheeseburger at McDonald's we got cheeseburgers at home and the cheeseburger looks like this [ __ ] it's already sold something like 20 million copies it's broken records for concurrent players on Steam and it's even managed to piss off every remaining Pokemon fan after scarlet and Viet I'm pretty sure power world is about to or has already passed God of War Ragnarok in sales and this just in in the next game Kratos is going to have an AR15 why is power so pop popular though is it because it has guns if it was that easy volition would still be in business is it because it's half the price of an actual Pokémon game no that can't be it I mean Nintendo fans are anything but cheap our favorite pastime is buying the same game 30 times and then thanking Nintendo for the opportunity this game technically speaking is awful everybody is so hyperfocused on Nintendo needing to sue power world for stealing their trademark Pocket Monsters when really they should be suing but how similar these games are with their glitches bugs and game breaking issues did pocket pair think that falling through the floor was a feature this is like when you can't be bothered studying for a test or you copy a friend and then you find out that your friend is just a dip and yet I kind of love it I'm sorry but the whole concept is still fun it's how I managed to squeeze some sort of fun out of scarlet and violet despite those games being as tedious and outdated as rotary phones if you see one out in the wild you may as well spin it around a few times it's Nostalgia you sure the powerwell devs don't have much shame here and that they literally just looked at Pokémon and thought well we could do that I mean they named their company pocket pair they weren't exactly trying to hide the connections that would be like if I started putting a yellow border around all my videos and called myself W the was hey y'all on the other hand W the was kind of sounds like a terminal illness get out mate wood here and this video is sponsored by blo and rayan oh that is the worst Australian accent I have ever heard I am Australian Scott the was is rolling in his grave right now okay he's not dead who who are you talking to I'm talking [Music] to well I don't care for that I'll piss off I haven't worked with raycon in over a year we we took a little break from each other because we were together for like 5 years and just needed some space but I'm no two time cheating Ross Galla I respect the sanctity of a break we were on a break I even got an iPhone recently and everyone was telling telling me to get redacted but I said no you

listen I'm not one of those idiots that think that power world just stole everything from Pokémon I mean they also stole a lot from AR most of it from Ark actually Nintendo fans are pretty pissed but has anyone checked in on the arc Community do they care about any of this or are they out actually living a life as far as I can tell nobody gives a crap that this game is essentially a but without the crap but this thing looks like Eevee so quick somebody find that home address I have death threats to send it's uh just a little funny to me you know being a 33y old man living through three decades of Pokémon only now seeing people care this much about somebody coming along and stealing Pokémon's whole bit this is the world's largest franchise people they've been around so long that people have been stealing from them for years I mean Pokémon even stole from themselves once or twice this is nothing new Pokémon Pals Pokedex po deck I mean how could they right I'm so mad you ever seen Digimon complete with a Digi Vice these weren't Pocket Monsters no these were Digital Monsters oh a nice loophole I guess Powell should have said that their version of Nintendo's fake monsters were also just fake fake monsters then they would have totally got away with it weirdly there's even a digimon called palmon so we've come full circle and I I don't even know what this means I'm kidding Digimon fans of course this franchise has always had to deal with being called just a Pokemon clone despite the fact that they both released the same year in 1997 at least that's what they tell you I think there is actually a little bit of copying going on here because if we go back to 1997 when first IPS launched it was the Pokemon anime that launched first in 1997 for Digimon it was the interactive tamaguchi toy device that launched the same year so before we had the Digimon anime or Manga or anything like that all we had was this sick brick of pixel Nostalgia that made up most of of my happy childhood memories since I don't have many of those up here this thing was special it wasn't until 1999 two whole years later that the first episode of the Digimon anime released by that point Pokémon had already swept the World by storm and become a huge phenomenon so I don't think it should come as any surprise that when the Digimon anime finally released it had a very similar style to the Pokémon anime my point is up until 1999 all we had to go on for Digimon was just a few pixels on a Tamagotchi there was one single issue manga that had released before the anime but it had a completely different style and even bun which was technically the first unofficial Digimon in oh my God don't look right the Digimon anime looking a lot like the Pokemon anime was obviously very intentional and it's most likely the reason why people always saw Digimon as just a Pokémon clone despite the two franchises launching in the same year to be fair though Digimon look absolutely nothing like Pokémon I mean these guys are sexy Pokemon aren't hot yet this was so weird and this creature would turn into this thing would turn in a 10-year-old mean eating a talk about the birds and the Beast Digimon were cool I mean Pokémon that was for dwee these guys they got ripped jeans and guns a lot of guns actually they got Guns For Hands guns for arms guns for days I am now realizing that Digimon is just Pokémon with guns did palon copy Pokemon or Digimon that's a serious question someone should call up big Tamagotchi I think we got a lawsuit on our hands I think because we grew up with both of these franchises and we're nostalgic for them we're very quick to point out all of the differences between them you go to any Reddit Thread about Pokemon and Digimon and all the comments will say nope these these things are totally different don't let the whole mon thing confuse me these guys are sexy but then this new Challenger arises and threatens to ruin everything of that which we hold dear suddenly we're all very eager to ignore all of the crafting looten Rootin toot and splut and rebooting of it all and just say hey Pokémon invented sheep how could you you want to get wild and wacky for a second how about we compare the original 150 Pokémon with Dragon Quest creatures oh what did Dragon Quest invent bats it's okay to be inspired by things people are inspired by things all of the time software was inspired by breath of the wild and then we got Elden ring without breath of the wild we wouldn't have genin impact this game literally would not exist the developers themselves have said that and it's one of the most popular games right now and people are very quick to point out its uniqueness and that it's nothing like breath of the wild at all I mean this game is sexy none of these Pokemon designs infringe on any of these Dragon Quest designs copyright but uh I mean come on you got to put yourself back in 1997 shoes and if those shoes are Air Jordans take them off you know how much those are worth I mean this is one guy named massuda making his first game ever inspired by him as a kid catching some bugs and now all of a sudden he realizes watch that Mr Nintendo you want me to make 150 of these guys I I mean I was thinking a couple caterpillars and a world do Dragon Quest had already been around since like 1986 at that point and I don't think it's ridiculous to think I actually think it's a little naive not to think that even back in 1997 just like now with games like gench and impact people weren't inspired by or borrowed ideas from other creative people movies video games media of the time and there's no problem with that at all but sure enough if you look in the comments section anywhere this image is posted they'll call this comparison weird because they're all just based off of animals and hey a dragon is a dragon you can't copyright a dragon Nintendo invented this it's just funny to me you know Digimon definitely didn't copy Pokemon right we all agree Pokemon no way they copied Dragon Quest at all animals are animals pow though I mean have you found that mailing address though I'm writing all these death threats in blood I'm about to faint now that hopefully we're on the same page that I've done a good job setting up my argument games can be inspired by other games even Pokemon can be inspired without necessarily infringing on anybody's copyrights let's take a closer look at the monsters and power world compared to the monsters in Pokémon oh yeah that yeah I mean Nintendo probably have a case here the developer's name's a pocket pal what did you forget Pokémon didn't invent Penguins but they could have at least color swapped this little guy that alala isn't falling anybody they did at least color swap Zeb Striker good job this cow is just Snorlax it even has the same face the teeth are just flipped upside down and they put it on all fours and this is literally just glar in meow's face control CED and control V onto another cat I mean at least don't make it a cat Robin quill not only looks just like theide ey but in a game that has handguns machine guns Spears all kinds of weaponry and most of these Pals don't even use weapons what's the one weapon they decided to give this Pokémon you got to be kidding me they're not all just straight copies I mean some Bor borrow parts from some Pokémon and mix and match with parts from other Pokémon to create something almost new but then you have ver Das and I don't know what I find more offensive here the fact that it's just another lazy color swap or the fact that they replaced race with Dash I mean that's just an ironically fast way to end up in court I don't even know why they bothered to take the luxury clone that we saw in the initial reveal trailer out of the game before launch what they thought that was too far people are even starting to data M the game and find other hidden Pals that were scrapped that are literally just clones of other Pokémon I mean at this point I'm expecting them just to find a model of massuda himself in there looking disappointed and wagging his finger and the thing that baffles me the most is the one thing that we've barely talked about yet and that's that this game is actually fun despite all of its flaws and just like a skyscraper in Tokyo Jesus Christ there's a lot of flaw it is fun to play and a little addicting let's get this straight Nintendo does not own the rights to creature collecting video games monster Huna stories yo-kai watch even Persona the one mini game in Sonic Adventure that was actually better than the whole game even tantm which is literally a Pokémon clone kickstarted with the whole idea behind it to be exactly like old school Pokémon and nobody cared when that came out quite literally does anybody even know about this game all of those games and even temptem didn't matter because they each had very unique creature designs they go out of their way to create their own look and feel to their monsters and to be brutally honest power world nobody wants to catch Dollar Store Pikachu who's that Pokémon it's Pikachu it's store Pikachu how I need you to I need you to come in close and listen up good the whole ass reason we're playing this crappy mess of the game you put out is because you have provided us with something that game freak has been failing to do for years a completely open world creature collecting game that looks very cookie cutter to put it nicely but the freedom to do whatever you want that makes it special I get that same childhood wonder I got from Pokémon whenever I'm out exploring in power world and I come across a creature I've never seen before like chillet or gamos I love this little guy he's so Derpy and cute lton taught me that he is tree sap and another word for tree sap is gum and he's got Moss so he's gum Moss That's Unique I even found a shiny one and in this game shiny means massive look how big he is he's even more cute but every time I run into a pal that is very clearly a Pokemon clone I just laugh and and get that same disappointed feeling of seeing the same thing for the h 100th time that I've been dealing with for the last 30 years in Pokémon which is exactly the reason why I'm even here in the first place don't you see I'm getting tired of this circle of her it's not even just Pokémon and Ark that power world are stealing from because they can't be bothered being original all of the UI and sound effects in this game are ripped straight from Zelda even the map stamps look the same as breath of the Wild's map stamps USPS has been creating new stamps since 1894 and what you can't make seven this straight up the Temple of Time this looks just like the church from the great plateau in breath of the wild you can even walk in and pray to an alter using the orb things you've collected to upgrade yourself ringing any bells oh and speaking of the great Plateau when you select where you want to start in multiplayer you can literally select the plateau of Beginnings the great Plateau where you start the game in Zelda plateau of Beginnings they're just they're not creative are they and don't even get me started on the fact that we have a glider and you can climb on anything I know in this day and age it's hard to create anything original that hasn't been done before but when you're stealing this blatantly it's hard not to look at your entire game and think are these the chests from fortnite is this the outfit from Horizon I mean at this point we're just collecting lawsuits like infinity stone but we all know why they did it right they intentionally stole these designs in a way that was obvious just skirted the line and maybe they could get away with it legally but it got people talking there's no such thing as bad press and in this case that's true people only paid so much attention to this game because Vulpix is a flamethrower now and Shaman is a hand grenade players bought into this game to either stream it or laugh at it with their friends and ended up getting sucked into an addictive parody of a game that barely even functions most of the time the grappling hook doesn't work 80% of the time and when it does it still doesn't there's a 50% chance that every time I use it I'll get stuck glitching in place what is happening here I don't know how you fix that uh there's also no sound effect whatsoever for this thing like they just forgot to add that the game world is built so poorly you'll spend half your time getting trapped in it falling through it or being yeed Above It O I just went down in one hit and then I fell through the Mad the only bright side of the terrible lazy World design is that you can just straight up walk on the lava because this is just a visual asset and means nothing thing there are NPC players all over the game he might be glitched oh oh no he pulled a gun on me oh my God and they also all just pass out once night falls and sleep on the ground like other Pokémon so I can only assume that canonly by law these are just Pokémon that look like people enforced by the fact that you can catch them and make them work for you which is problematic for all of the obvious reasons also the game kind of Acts like you're supposed to be able to catch them since it brings up in the right hand corner of the screen that this is an inhumane thing to do and yet whatever you try and actually use these people pal Pokémon things they see-through they're like all glitched and they don't have bodies actually it's mostly just a floating weapon if you try to catch a pal too close to water they'll do their best Jesus impression When I close the game and log in later there's a good chance I'll have lost all of my permanent items and I'll have to craft them again which is a pain in the ass cuz trying to get materials in this game is like pulling teeth the world is too big a lot of areas are devoid of old life without any Pals anywhere to be seen not even sure why these exist a lot of areas look like they've been stolen straight from Zelda even the Calamity Ganon type areas there's even areas that look like they're from Halo infinite I mean is anything here original and just about any glitch bug issue you can imagine you'll experience it and yet I can't stop playing this stupid game I can't be the very best unless I catch them all and trying to keep all the materials in stock I need to make the stupid pow Poke Balls or whatever they're called is nonon impossible even though I have my pals working day and night there's about to be some budget cuts around here you guys don't pick up the pace Casual Friday will be cancelled power world locks you into that cycle of mining resources cra crafting catching repeating it's h annoying but every catch does feel very earned and rewarding cuz you had to source and craft every element that went into that catch I even broke the game and managed to catch Zoe I own a Zoe wait the girl's on the head this is my new girlfriend everyone come say hello I come say hi to Zoe they might all be stolen but this game does have some good ideas it just needs a lot more of its own if the Creator of the game happens to be watching this um maybe you could use your last game to generate some new [Music] ideas I'll show myself out
