WTF
@NINTENDO
@GAMEFREAK
@TPC
@MASUDA
@JOEMERRICK
SHUT THIS ASSET FLIP AI THEFT DOWN NOW

china has literally bootlegged pokemon shit for 25+ years, why would they start caring now?

>>56083741
Because Gamefreak and TPC have no legal ground this time. Shit like the models being allegedly ripped off have a muddied history of those claiming it coming forward to lying about it by editing the models in question. The concept of keeping fictional or non-fictional creatures in capsules isn't exclusive to Pokemon and not enough outcry hasn't attracted a investigation of the sorts.

And honestly? Good that nothing happened, if Nintendo won this one then they would've the groundwork to strike down more games with the concept of catching creatures in capsules.

Besides they would've gone after them if they actually were afraid of long-time consequences. But the "You will buy it anyway" mentality once again pulled through. Nintendo wasn't afraid, TPC wasn't afraid.

Now can we stop having Palworld threads and go talk about the upcoming Legends Z-A game instead?

>that time manchildren bothered nintendo so much about this random game that nintendo had to tell them to fuck off and the autists celebrated thinking it means that theyd do something
never forget

There's a reason you need a license to practice law. A bunch of spastic brown kids on the internet don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

>>56083777
>The concept of keeping fictional or non-fictional creatures in capsules isn't exclusive to Pokemon
What blew my mind was the fact that there are so many other Pokemon clones that lazily copy paste the battles, storyline, gameplay and capsules over point for point yet no one ever hated them as much. I really do believe Palworld just showed a proof of concept that a multi billion dollar company could put out a very good open world pokemon game if they tried, but they don't. And thats what pissed people off. But they would never attack nintendo so they attacked Palworld and tried to call it illegitimate. Meanwhile some millions of people had the time of their life playing it as the POkemon game we wanted but never got.
Strange how salty people can be.

>>56083829
The reason Palworld is hated but other Pokemon clones aren't is because Palworld managed to be successful.

They models were scaled for the sake of comparison. This isn't really editing, as said my multiple people who actually work with 3D models.
The reason there's no legal ground is that they almost assuredly just did the 3D model equivalent of tracing, meaning no direct asset theft occurred and infringement is near impossible to directly prove past the very obviously referenced anatomy of some of the Pals (and references aren't illegal).

>>56083741
Because they never gave a shit.
The thing people don't understand is that the only way for Nintendo to care when it comes to Pokemon is if someone competes for the same audience, and Palworld didn't do that, Palworld wasn't aimed at kids, but at the ARK audience.

>>56083907
>They models were scaled
No matter how you sugarcoat it, they directly changed the original models, claimed they were traced or stolen and only AFTER the claims were made did these in question came forward and admitted that they have scaled the models. This is a completely disgenuine move at stirring up chaos.

>>56083928
>No matter how you sugarcoat it, they directly changed the original models
Nooooot really. The poly count, general mesh, bones, etc. weren't altered in the slightest, and that's the crux of all of the comparisons. Given a good chunk of the Pokemon models online are from literal decade old 3DS game resource dumps, resizing was going to be necessary regardless. And, once again, several people who literally work with 3D models for a living said scaling had literally no effect on the legitimacy of the comparisons and everyone who acted like it was a massive gotcha knew nothing about the field on the whole. Unless you can provide some receipts of your own proficiency in the field I'm more inclined to believe those with years of experience in their portfolios and literal game devs who have absolutely no reason to hop into the conversation a risk of looking unprofessional if they didn't have a widespread misconception about their literal profession to clear up.

I've looked at a lot of the models and they're straight up better constructed when compared to the pokemon models. Not only are palworld's models put together better: They're put together better in ways that would take more work if they actually did rip the models like people were trying to claim.

turns out there's no legal ground for "they made something that sorta kinda looks like lucario"

The animations are also fluid and soulful instead of stiff looking desaturated parade balloons that pokemon's shit tier 3D is.

>>56084005
Pokemon Model animations can be boring, but acting like they're not fluid is retard-tier unless you're acting like the fluidity and expressiveness are related. Hell, you don't even have to leave the series to see that-the more expressive animations of the older 3D games were significantly jerkier and had far more awkward transitions from one state to the next

First thing I noticed after ripping the models was how efficient the texture work was; the textures had no un-utilized space and the UVs were beautifully laid out. Then there was the topology, there's hardly anything perfect in this world but that was pretty fucking close and I was even able to run the tries to quads function and have it work with no issues, that never happens.
>>56084040
It's an archaic way of doing things but it's not worse and it actually saves a bit of performance: which we all can agree the pokemon games need.

>>56084057
>It's an archaic way of doing things but it's not worse
nta but it looks pretty significantly worse. If people were willing to clown on GF for doing it on a console's fidelity then I think it's perfectly fine to side-eye Pocket Pair for doing it on significantly better hardware.

>>56084040
textures look better than models and it's also a smart performance optimization
Damn how come Paldevs are so much better than gamefreak?

>>56084013
The pokemon stadium and colloseum games had better 3D than the dogshit that the 3ds and switch games have.

>>56084092
The stadium and colloseum games had more expressive animations on SIGNIFICANTLY worse looking models, don't fucking kid yourself. Early 3D Kanhaskhan was atrocious and the fact that they reused a literal N64 model up to Battle Revolution on the Wii was disgraceful

As far as I'm aware the only "expert" that made that accusation was that clown with the hedgehog pfp on twitte, who later came out and
>Admitted to editing the models beyond just scaling the entire thing
>Claimed he did it for the stupid reason of the game gloifying cock fighting or some garbage when pokemon does the same thing

Going off that last one, I recall him expressing that he was shocked that he actually got away with it so long because there were people who knew better saying he was full of it and people ignored them.

>>56084152
>As far as I'm aware the only "expert" that made that accusation was that clown with the hedgehog pfp on twitter
Wrong from the jump, given there was also Thaddeus Crews. As much as he's a massive faggot with shit opinions, he's worked with games for literal years and also shared the sentiment that scaling the model doesn't make comparison invalid. There was also a few more, but I'd probably have to dig a bit to find them given I don't remember their account names

>>56083741
because if they sue and lose it gives precedent for every fucker going to copy their designs
Why bother on a game that isn't stealing your players

>>56084176
I'd like to see them as well because a lot of those tweets got deleted after the clown broke and told the truth or they admitted they didn't actually look at the models themselves and went of the pictures of the edited meshes.

>>56084176
>Thaddeus Crews

>>56084193

Why would he be salty at Palworld? Saw him come to it's defense multiple times during the controversy.

>>56083829
>yet no one ever hated them as much
They even liked them and tried to shill them. Remember TemTem? People only riffed on it as a joke, but otherwise the reception(opinion-wise, not sales-wise) was great. People were fighting eachother to be the biggest dicksucker of TemTem.
But Palworld crossed an invisible line and did too much better.

>>56084207

And would you look at that, it's another industry worker! Though honestly going through his Twitter he's just as a big of a faggot as Thaddeus going off his retweets, just on the other side of the spectrum. His page was even more painful to scroll through, good fucking lord.
>I would also like to remind everyone that the fact that packetpair hasn't been sued 6 months later is evidence enough everyone saying the models are stolen are full of shit.
My literal first post in this thread was saying that the models weren't directly stolen. You can't sue based on creative bankruptcy

>>56084300
He straight up squished the model using the bones to make the edge loops line up, I can take damned near any snake and do the same thing because there are only so many ways to make a god damned tube, anon.
This is embarrassing.

>>56084324
>There's only so many ways to make a tube
This is a really shitty defense given I can guarantee you that ANY ripped model of ANY serpent creature from ANY other 3D monster catcher won't have the same exact bone count and models that could literally line up almost exactly with minimal editing. At worst you can be uncharitable and claim theft (which I'm not, as I said before), at absolute best you can they eyed Serperior's model and then did the 3D modelling equivalent of that homework meme to shirk claims of direct theft. No one here is saying they're exactly the same, which is something you don't seem to be getting. The claim is that, model wise, these line up too particularly well with minimal (if any) editing to not be suspicious in any context.

>>56083777

I don't doubt that PocketPair took such heavy inspiration from pokemon models that it could be considered a ripoff according to us laymen, but at the same time I don't trust random faggots on twitter that have extreme political beliefs to provide evidence of it either.
The fact that no one that's even half professional or trustworthy has made a detailed video outing Palworld for asset theft is telling. If the models really are as 1:1 as people say then it should be a piece of cake for them to rip the models and compare.

Every twittertroon that's tried has been caught either editing the models or not understanding that snakes are just tubes and getting outraged over their shape looking similar even though the wireframes don't line up. Where's YoutubeMcInfluencer with his 2 hour video essay that goes through excruciating lengths to scale every single model and compare the models vertice-for-vertice?

>>56084344
>The fact that no one that's even half professional or trustworthy has made a detailed video outing Palworld for asset theft is telling.
Probably because everyone knowledgeable said "they'd be stupid to steal so they almost assuredly didn't, but these line up too suspiciously close for comfort". At absolute best I saw people actually knowledgeable on the subject brush it off with the "parody" excuse and then move on entirely, clearly not wanting to get into the trenches of internet discussion on what boils down to if some chink-tier jap devs stole funny rainbow animal assets from the glorified merchandising vehicles of a billion-dollar media company

>>56084337
>exact bone count and models
Why don't you take a count of the bones in both the model's spines again.

>>56084365
The video quite literally shows the upper spines have the same exact bone counts. Once again, not close enough to claim outright theft, but similar enough to raise an eyebrow. Can't sue for creative bankruptcy, after all.

>>56084220
>Coromon
>Cassette beast
>TemTem
All copied down to the style of the battles. All of them got dicksucked by the community. It's like a bunch of retards doubling down on a sunk cost fallacy. If they admit Palworld is even remotely fun, they have to swallow their pride. And, for some of them, thats not a route they have the maturity to take. Even sadder when you realize half of it would just be admitting they have zero clue what Nintendo/Gamefreak does behind the scenes and admitting they just make half assed reaches for content and clout because the Pokemon community eats that shit up.

Sitting here watching while making that gardevoir fellate a dildo I made on the fly. Having ripped the models from pokemon before; There was work done on that model because they came out like this. Sup indeed has 5 bones after the root, the neck bone is just long for some weird fucking reason.
That being said I'm not going to trust a modern animation because they're knuckle draggers playing with action figures.

Going off my own experience when this garbage first lit up, a group of us decided to make wolves and we all ended up with similar topology but there were differences.

Palworld has been known about by the public for over 3 years, and we are now approaching 6 months where the models and data have all been publicly accessible, more than enough time for a dedicated team (from the richest company in Japan, bar none) to form a case.
If there was a case, Nintendo, one of the most litigious video game companies on the planet, would have struck them by now. Especially considering it would be a domestic suit, not an international one.

I don't think Nintendo will fill a case, but they can really take as much time as they want for anything.
I used a French website for ten years to download many roms, and it was pretty popular. Nintendo only attacked the website a decade later.
Same with Citra which was extremely famous and known since 2014, yet only in 2024 did Nintendo start a protest against the creators and requested 2,4 million.
There is just no consistency from the studio, because they didn't take weeks to also attack the ESRB people who leaked Smash Bros. back in 2014. Really, it's just if they want to bother or not

Pinkachu looks way better than the yellow shit from gamefreak IMO.

palworld is based

What do we think about the Sakurajima update?

>>56083741
Not a real threat

The current games make them act like fictional creatures. The Stadium games make them act like retarded Looney Tunes characters with animations that don't make any actual sense.

>>56083741
Why would they?
Unless they can prove the model was stolen 1-1 and not been recreated there's nothing they can do. Pokemon don't own monster catching, the only reason fan games get taken down is because they call it pokemon or get money from it.

Either way, the game's out and hopefully it gives game devs the idea to make more games like it. The monster catching genre is already packed with pokemon clones, it's nice to have some monster catching mechanics outside the usual pokemon shit.

pretty impressive after being gone for awhile, it was able to get back into the top 10 most played Steam games after the update, it may never ever get to a million again, but it's got a solid fanbase now.

That's a risky pic, but nice.

Everyone ignore all other posts this is the only one that matters
>Gamefreak / nintendo doesn't have a patent on monster collectors
>they don't have a patent on rpgs or turn based rpgs
>palworld isnt even in the same genre or gameplay loop
>Nintendo and GF probably gave 0 shits about a game with a lower player retention % than Temtens

>livestreams are popularity
The classic straw to grasp at for copers. And you lose even on these grounds, when you take into account that one: SV has more views per channel; two: SV was released in 2022 while palslop is, what, barely 6 months old? And it barely hangs on in your example.
But again, livestream numbers don't matter jack shit for arguing popularity.
I laugh at you and your dead creatively bankrupt game.

>>56105211
Is the most played game of all time on steam popularity? Or does it breaking records in sales and concurrent players not count either?

>>56105154
better than any Gen 9 girl at least

>>56105247
No.
Cope forever you useless pile of biomatter.

>>56083777
That's a fair post.
