I mean if we’re on the subject of the monster catching and fighting genre we already know Pokémon wasn’t the first and that Game Freak took ideas from other sources. If anything Dragon Quest 5 was the first JRPG that really did the “you can tame monsters to fight other monsters”. On top of that Game Freak literally stole the idea of pocket monsters from the show Ultraseven. Where the main character used Capsule Kaijus to help him fight other kaijus by releasing them from little capsule devices.
Idk it’s just weird to see so many people are crying about whether or not Palworld is stealing from Pokémon, like who the fuck cares. Also guess what Game Freak and Nintendo don’t care either, fuck I bet Nintendo will probably get the game on the Switch 2 in a few years. Literally mark my words, if Palworld actually continues and finishes it’s development we will 100% get a Switch 2 release of it.
