You see Fortnite? Because you have to make buildings piece by piece. It's closer to most survival games.
And uh, yeah you see Pokemon in it. The creatures were obviously designed in that aesthetic.
Minecraft, really? Do you know of any other games? You can't alter the terrain. It's not block-based. Again, more similar to Ark, Rust, etc.
Some of the creatures were just straight up copied and bashed together from several Pokémon 3D models. That’s not designed, that’s theft.
Are you aware that Pokemon pretty much "stole" the creatures from Dragon Quest - an RPG from 1986?
Holy shit that’s so bad, they don’t have a leg to stand on here.
They haven't sued, so they aren't even trying to stand at this point.
It was when they announced the keychain Pokémon that I realized they aren't exactly a bastion of originality.
Thank you for this! Truly fascinating!
Which and which did they mash up? What unique Pokemon parts did they take?
