Then I'll have to refer you to this comment. And we're dead set into circular logic land. Congrats! Enjoy your stay.
Just because Pokemon was legally distinct enough from Dungeon Quest doesn't mean they're not obvious copies. What you need to realize is that there's only so many ways you can draw a "fire-based dog", "grass-based turtle", or "electric mouse" before you run into something that looks similar to some other IP.
Like I said before.
What you COMPLETELY miss out on... Dragon Quest is an old enough series that people who worked on the original Pokemon would have been highly influenced by the series as kids. Much like Palworld developers likely grew up on Pokemon to some extent. You're going to see similarities... that doesn't mean it a knock off... and if it was a knock off, Nintendo would have killed it long ago. Any other "belief" doesn't matter.
What the hell are you talking about, there are infinite ways to draw a fire dog, Pokemon alone has like 5 of them (at least 2 of which "inspired" Pals lol) When you take into account all the kind of dogs there are and the infinite flourishes an artist could make its shocking anyone would think their design doesn't look like a rippof. One might even say thar someone is arguing in bad faith again.
Just... come on now.
Just because you don't like the argument doesn't make it bad faith. Considering that 100% of pals are distinctly different enough that Nintendo cannot go after them and win is sufficient evidence that they've made enough of the "infinite flourishes" you claim to exist. Yet here you are claiming that they're ripoffs.
Didn't we just go over this? You're right, we are in a loop.
Yup... Because the only opinion that matters is Nintendo's and a courts. Not yours. But you don't seem to recognize this.
You don't have to like it or buy the game. Not sure why people like you love to sit there and make claims that PalWorld is a problem when clearly it's not. The loop will end when you recognize that fact and move on. Stop being one of those people that backseat lawyers on behalf of a mega-corp.
