Still kinda sad people call yo-Kai watch a “pokemon clone” just because of the similar mechanic of getting creature.

That one Mf in the safari zone episode: "Am I a joke to you?!"

The slowpoke tails always canonically grew back. Kurt says as much in the Johto games. It's kind of implied they're like certain species of salamander/lizards where they can detach it if something they don't want to gets ahold of them, which makes sense since they fish with their tails. Wouldn't want something actually dangerous dragging the slowpoke into the water with them.

The problem with Team Rocket is that they were chopping them in an unnatural way (which on its own could cause a lot of issues)and presumably they would have continued the second the tails grew back forcing the Slowpoke to go without regular food for much longer.

Nintendo isn't suing over the creature designs. That issue is just head canon. They are suing because they think they own the concept of throwing a ball to catch a creature.

[Swaggster]

Since you can catch humans in palworld, you can catch a merchant, put them in your base, and now you a got a store near you.

The "collecting little guys" genre truly deserves more attention.

At 12:30, you’re actually not too far off.

The company I work at has been ahead of this whole AI stuff even before it blew up. An AI model is not quite at the ability yet to completely spit out a fresh new design, so if they are AI generated it was probably more the concept art / a doodle that was generated that an artist had to go and fine tune.

Thank you for being the one YouTube I’ve seen discussing this, pointing out that AI right now isn’t some magic lamp of new Pokémon designs.

I can't believe the Pokémon Company owns the design of the Egyptian god, Anubis.

I can't believe we got a Palworld video before Evie's reaction to and predictions for Pokémon Legends Z-A. We are truly living in the darkest timeline

I saw somebody comment on another PalWorld video (I think it was a Gym Leader Ed video) that said something along the lines of "PalWorld isn't really 'Pokemon with guns', it's more accurate to say it's 'ARK with Pokemon'."

7:15 - Just a little correction here, but the Shell Slime first appeared in Dragon Quest 3, which was released in 1988, and the Drakee first appeared in the original Dragon Quest, which was released in 1986.

“None of these clones had gone”

CandyEvie randomly forgetting that digimon evolve into giant killer robots, giant dinosaurs with literal cannons for arms and knights with swords and canons for arms.

I've said this since Palworld released, and I will continue saying it until the end of days:
Palworld isn't a Pokemon clone. Palworld is an Ark/Rust "clone" with a thin layer of Pokemon paint. Whenever people say "Palworld is just better Pokemon, " then I just think "You just like games like Ark/Rust more than you like Pokemon."
Most of what I like about Palworld isn't stuff it does ""better"" than Pokemon. How are you going to make a manufactoring HQ base in mainline Pokemon games, which have no survival components and very meager resource gathering aspects at best? The stuff I like about Palworld makes me think "Oh, this would have been a cool feature in Ark" instead.

In fact, if you spin that argument on its head and compare features in Pokemon to the present features in Palworld, you can argue the same points but in Pokemon's favor:
• The type chart between the two games is like comparing building a brick house to building the same house but in a 1:100 scale out of legos. Palworld doesn't even have resistances, which in a proper competitive setting would mean the winner is just whoever brings the strongest offensive fighters. And this does mean Palworld's type chart is easier to remember, but that also helps in dragging the skill ceiling way down.
• Palworld doesn't have an equivalent to even a single Special stat. A majority of RPGs ever since the 90s have included at least that in the form of INT. This _also_ really simplifies the battle system, since you just bring big number fighter with big number move and win. The opponent brings their own fighter with a big number defense? Well, too bad because there's no way around it outside of power scaling them to hell.
• There are no held items. Yeah, saddles and some other craftable key items fill the part somewhat in buffing up Pals, but customization is otherwise extra limited and funneled into what the devs want you to make. Imagine the only held items in Pokemon being stuff like Thick Club and the Light Ball.
• There are no status moves. The combat sometimes feels like caveman early game Pokemon where you mash Tackle or some other equivalent and hope your damage ratios are better than your opponent's. Healing moves, support moves like Light Screen and Reflect, buffing moves that can make otherwise weaker Pokemon shine are all absent.
And I can go on and on about why Pokemon is "better" than Palworld. But my point is that Palworld isn't aiming to make a game with complex, competitive, and turn-based combat. Just like how Pokemon isn't trying to be a resource-focused survival game with base building and management. The Palworld-Pokemon comparisons beyond monster designs have always fallen flat to me exactly because of that. They have you train up the levels of multiple party members so you can boost their stats and become the strongest, I guess, which then makes them both Final Fantasy clones at that point.

I can’t believe Palworld plagiarized the chicken design from Earth.

[KnightsofGaming]

I hate how some people are just 100% Team Palworld or 100% Team Pokemon. While I understand that we humans generally love being part of a group that we feel important to, it gets tiring seeing Pokemon or Palworld fans arguing with one another. Why can't we just enjoy the monster taming/collecting genre as a whole? I'm a huge Pokemon fan but I'm also a huge Digimon and now a Palworld fan. Having played each of the games, I can confidently say that each game offers a different vibe and enjoyment.

It took me a minute to realize that I was watching a sponsor. I was just sitting there like: "damn, she sure is rambling about Opera a lot... WAIT A MINU-"

[dorktanian]

"Scarlet and violet didnt have glitches this game breaking."
Falling through the map constantly

[ChilaAuroraVT]

Omg CandyEvie exists! She's still alive!

[ArtoriasNX]

If Nintendo was gonna do anything about this legally. They would have.

[marcoasturias]

I've never understood why people say Lambaal is a copy of Wooloo when it's clearly a black and white Whimsicott

[TravellerWence]

As a fan of Monster Tamer games I’m begging people to broaden their horizons, there’s so much more to the subgenre then just Pokémon or Palworld, theres rpgs, there’s rogue likes, there’s Metroidvanias, all with monster buddies. There’s a whole ecosystem of them
