My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
Other communities:
I don’t see Nintendo/Game Freak doing something about Palword. Due to Palworld's first trailer release two years ago. So if Nintendo/Game Freak was going to do something about Palworld. They had two years to do it.
They can only demand palworld to not advertise it as "pokemon with gun", otherwise they have no case against the uninspired monster design.
pokemon doesn't own the concept of monster colectors
The accusation isn't about the concept but the artwork.
Pokémon doesn't own the concept of cute magical anime animals either. Infact I'm pretty sure it's a common anime trope.
If they could do shit about this, Digimon and Yokai Watch would not exist.
Never said they did.
Pokemon doesn't own the idea of bad drawing either.
Not sure where that come from but okay.
Sent with my Samsung Note 20 ultra 5G.
I wonder. Does that also mean Fromsoft has a case against games marketing themselves as soulslikes?
They can try, nintendo never did, doubt they will win, and cost them the decades of good will they've gained. The genre name is either a part of the title mixed with the word clone, like, lite, or a portmanteau like Metroidvania, so it's not 100% case.
That's why Palworld did not mentioned Pokemon on the steam page and the trailer.
Don't give Nintendo or Konami ideas about Metroidvanias...
Jokes aside, IMO its a common term and like has been a thing for a long time, roguelike as an example
It's also good for business. If someone comes in not knowing about Souls games and starts seeing it, they'll wonder why it's called that.
I played both Metroid and Castlevania when I was a kid so I knew where those came from. I quit gaming for a decade or so and didn't know anything about Souls-like games when I got back. I started seeing it everywhere and it made me curious. Now I'm a fan of From and games like what they put out.
Can you imagine the ego stroking it must be to have an entire genre named after your work?
They probably could have had a case against the first game to market itself as such, but I think once the terminology gets utilized as a "common term", you can't do anything. It's why Nintendo in the 80s and 90s was so fucking adamant on pushing parents away from calling any and every home game console a Nintendo
Fromsoft would have 0 ground if they wanted to today, but honestly, again, I think it's one of those things thats such a pedestal that there would be no reason to go after it.
Imagine what the developers of Rogue must feel. Games in that vein are still called Rogue-likes 43 years later
It’s hard to feel any sympathy for them since they pretty much copied Pokémon another, older game.

corporate talk 💀
I've seen pictures over the last few days and just assumed a lot of the random "pals" were pokemon from the new generations.
Looks entertaining though
Is it the best survival game ever? No
Is it really fun if you like those sorts of games? For sure. My friends and I are having a blast.
The worst thing I can say about it is that it feels almost useless to build structures. I made a 2x2 house in my base and it's a waste of space. Maybe it'll matter more when we're level 50 but now....just put your bed on a foundation and give it a roof
You give it a roof? Only player bed needs one...
I was talking about the player bed
