Someone posted something about Nintendo trying to stifle creativity in Indie artists because of this whole palworld thing. I wanted to sort of add detail to my own hang ups about Pocket Pair (the studio behind palworld) so i left a comment there. I’m just gonna copy and paste, but let me know your thoughts. I’d be interested to hear some civil discourse on the subject, as opposed to the flagrant disses i hear on both sides on places like Facebook or twitter. I won’t share the Video, mostly because i don’t know how to share it here. Suffice it to say that nintendo making a statement that they’ll be “looking into palworld” was perceived by the video maker as a threat to indie creativity. The OP of the video posted a statement in tandem with that video: “A little something for all of you who are calling palworld a pokemon ripoff here's a little something for you to think about especially if you want gamefreak to step up their game and make a better pokemon game” I responded with the

I’ll say this much about palworld, and that’ll be it from me I didn’t do any reasearch when i first heard about the game about a year back. I thought it was a neat concept, and i was, up until recently, eager to get my hands on the game myself. But the more i learn about the game and the designs of some of the pals, and the more i learn about the contents of the character of Poclet Pair - the company that’s made the game - the less likely i am to play it. As far as AI generated images are concerned, whether or not AI was used in palworld is less relevant to me than the fact that they have a separate game on it’s own involving AI generated images and their creation. This isn’t the kind of company i think deserves my money. I won’t begrudge anyone who wants to play the game, it definitely looks like it has a certain kind of charm to it. But It’s just not for me, dudes. The way Pocket Pair operates just rubs me the wrong way.
