I hear you ask, easy- the same way Digimon, Megami Tensei, Persona, and Ni no kuni can get away with being monster catching and battling games- Nintendo doesn't actually own the concept- they just own the licence to "pokemon" the brand, and "pokemon" the monster designs.
@Karlyr_6 ай бұрын
@@crazyabe4571 all of your examples are infringing onto their IP directly. So It's super cookie cutter to just emit a cease and desist. In this case, they have to identify precisely what pals they consider to close to being copied and anotate everything individually in a document because they absolutely cannot emit a complete cease and desist order because the game itself is not something GameFreaks own. That's the thing if something legal happens, they can't say "cease all operation until trial is done" because depending on the verdict, they would have to reimburse the estimated losses and GameFreaks would have to pay them. Also, yes they don't own "monster based" games. But why did everyone compared it to Pokemon and not Digimon or YuGiOh or Dragon Quest... because the concept is similar, the designs are similar, the art style is similar. That's why it's problematic. Can we all say, regardless of Palworld, all of Pocket Pair games have very dubious art direction? To me the most disgusting one is the Hollow Knight one.

It's worth mentioning as far as the AI stuff goes, that the announcement trailer for Palword was released in June 2021, over a year before Midjourney and Stable Diffusion were released, AND it showcased a fairly large number of Pal designs that are largely unchanged in the game we have today. So if AI was used in the Pal designs, it could only have been on a few of them and it would have to have been done pretty late in the development cycle. Even then, going from a single 2D image to a 3D design in a game takes quite a bit of human work.

If this is an issue, then all souls-like are essentially an issue too. The designs of the pals or "pokemon" are dissimilar enough that it's clear there is inspiration, but clear that they are their own designs too. The mechanics have similarities conceptually and practically, but there are against dissimilarities enough that it is clear it is different. If copy-right is at the level where we can't have fun stuff like this that clearly is not a clone, but heavily inspired / derivative work of others, with its own twists and original design, then copy-right has to go entirely. I, for one, welcome competition to pokémon, and hope that similar games can and will crop up in this and other genres doing similar things.
@MysteriouslyMilitant6 ай бұрын
@NukeCloudstalker I truly do acknowledge, & I see what you've stated to be a greater push, in creativity & to value differences in artistic styles and inspirational direction. I also do think and would have others consider, that Pokemon needs more competition in this sort of stylized art direction going forward, just as Digimon had at one point, given them a run for their money so to speak. We have to be more open minded to different ideas of different games, and styles that may take inspiration from other games, & that is what I would say, is a problem with the Pokémon fanatics, is that they MOSTLY just play Pokémon or JRPGs that have been around long before Palworld as well, then jumping back on the bandwagon, to defend Pokémon at its every beckon call for anything. In short: people need to stop praising & buying into Pokémon games, because it also created a form of delusional realities as well for many, not playing ANY other games other than Pokémon, which is a psychological issue as well, is what I would state or would like to point out. It is like the joke video that was going around, stating this: "just buy said product, for the sake of said product, and be happy no matter what.". Which, I completely DISAGREE with, to be completely, & fully honest with you. People NEED to stop being fans of said franchises, & to STOP praising gaming companies like they do, because they also become engulfed by it like a bunch of cultists, & then we eventually have a much BIGGER problem on our hands, eventually leading towards things like i.e. Generational Pokémon lovers, as well with National Dex Criticizers versus Modern Pokémon Fans for differences to be examined as well.

Nintendo is probably already gathering evidence and getting ready for a lawsuit. The thing is both companies are located in Japan, and the Japanese lawsystem is a little bit different. So before they raise a case, they will probably have a 99,9% chance of winning the lawsuit before they bring it to court. I think another possible lawsuit could be damage to their trademark, as graphic violence associated with Pokemon could be argued to injure their reputation with families in particular, and that is one of their primary demographics.

As a 3d guy, the most we could use AI for is concepting, which is the 3d equivalent of writing your name down at the start of an essay. You still have to do all the hard work yourself since 3d AI tools aren't good enough for production purposes yet. And as an amateur coder, AI code is neat for jogging your memory when you forget how to do a particular thing, or for quickly writing repetitive code, or debugging/reviewing your already written code to check for inefficiencies/errors, but it can't write an entire game's worth of code.

There's a huge survival aspect to the game that vastly sets it apart from pokemon. I think this is probably why they haven't gotten any flack from Nintendo as of yet.

i think from an artist's point of view it's just frustrating to see this game find so much success when the designs look like they went into the pokémon fusion website, combined 2 designs, and added it to the game. yes, some comparisons are a stretch, but a lot of them, for pokémon fans who can name all designs, instantly stand out as clearly being a combination of a couple pokémon, if not just straight up a single pokémon. and the fact that they didn't steal the models doesn't mean that a lot of the designs aren't recognisable as a certain pokémon model but very slightly modified, such as with luxray. i saw the thread of the 111 pals vs pokémon designs comparison and yes, a few aren't really accurate, or simply call out that they share a theme, such as pikachu or zebstrika (zebra with lightning bolts on its body), but that doesn't negate the very obvious ones. just the fact that the art style is near identical, and that if you told me that some of those designs are new pokémon i'd believe you, is frustrating as an artist! gameplay aside, there's a clear pattern with these people taking game concepts and playing with what is and isn't allowed in terms of how close you can get to copying those games without getting sued (zelda, hollow knight, pokémon) that takes away any curiosity i might have to play these games, including palworld.

To be fair, most Pokemon designs are based on real or mythical creatures, so if you designed something in a similar style to Pokemon this will happen through no fault of your own. South Park made an episode about facing the same issue but it was "The Simpsons already did it." You can draw in an art style, but you don't own the style. You can't deny someone else the right to draw that way, only take specifically what you draw. If this was true then almost every sitcom or inspired by X would be illegal.

It’s different because you can raid people and capture humans, then force those humans to do forced labor along with your Pals. I don’t think you force your dinos to work in Ark, nor can you use one as a flamethrower nor as ammunition for a rocket launcher. It’s not an ARK clone, it’s a game with a different take on many different genres, some I’d say were improved.

I really hope they get sued and forced to change the copied designs, because the game has really strong original designs and I really wish it had more. The harsh truth is the team has no artistic integrity, because they chose to create "grass cinderace" and "electric totoro" with edited existing models when they are clearly capable of designing creatures themselves! I played this game on Xbox game pass and I am REALLY enjoying it, in case some wanna use the hater argument. For years, CEOs have asked artist teams to rip-off other games, and it's always been up to the artists to put their foot down and make their own twist of things others have done. This is a different case entirely, and the fact that you can immediately tell "botw" or "hollow knight" when you look at ONE SCREENSHOT tells you everything you need to know.

If the Pokemon company can't figure out how to innovate and bring their game to a wider audience, then we get stuff like this. If I don't own a switch, or anything Nintendo, I would be locked out of playing a game I would otherwise love to play (unless I play on my phone), so for a game like this to be brought to market, it's a no brainer that it got so popular so quickly.

I've always thought it was beyond dumb that Nintendo limits their IPs to their platform considering how niche their platforms and IPs always are. Their whole ecosystem is designed around gaming on the go, which most people don't even do, and they have a pretty limited selection of titles for their platform, so it's mostly die hard fans of Pokemon, Mario, or Zelda that buy their consoles. They could have such a huge market share if they released proper modern Pokemon games across all platforms.

News flash: In every single medium (Games, Movies, Books, Songs, ect) take inspiration from what was previously popular... It is incredibly hard to come up with something completely unique and on top of that make it attractive to a mass audience. Palworld is popular because it takes a previous genre of a "Team of monsters building RPG" and advances it more that Game Freak has done with Pokemon in 20+ years. People are tired of the same old Pokemon game year after year. You should not be mad at the Palworld team for actually making some competition for Pokemon... Be mad with Game Freak and Nintendo for letting such a popular franchise and game genre stagnant to this extent... Competition is the catalyst for improvement. Take a look at Madden for example. Ever since they got the exclusive rights to NFL simulation football, that whole genre had stagnated to the point of becoming a punchline. In my opinion, competition is the most important thing for advancement.

I wouldn't say people are tired of the same game for 20 years, it's more they are tired of paying Triple A prices for the same game for 20 years. I like it when games stay true to the formula, but when they ask high prices for what is essentially the same thing only with new monsters, when they think you ought to dump $70 for a current gen title that's basically a reskin of a 10 year old game (that they are still asking $50 for) is where I draw the line. If the latest Pokemon games, especially ones that appear to use the same engine as games released 5-10 years ago, were only $20-30, then that would be far more reasonable. But who wants to pay $70 twice a year for a franchise that doesn't do anything ground-breakingly new until that latest open world thing? I bet the next pokemon game that comes out is gonna be just like the last one, and it's gonna be $70 if not more. Also, the fact that Pokemon is locked to Nintendo's consoles and that they refuse to join the PC crowd is a huge downside too. That's why games like TemTem exist, people want this sort of content on PC, and would happily pay $40 for TemTem rather than being forced to pay $70 for a Switch game.

Having put quite a lot of hours into palworld so far and loving it, I can say it really feels like a game satirizing pokemon. The idea alone of the use of guns, butchering the pals and even humans screams parody and satire. It very obviously doesn't take itself seriously so I really think the whole drama about it ripping off pokemon is absurd. Also, it's insanely fun and even if it uses AI, it is done with obvious human touches that make it forgivable in my eyes. Like the AI spongebob songs that keep coming out, making bangers with AI voice changers but having obvious human input and elements that tie it together. But even with that said, if there's no proof of it utilizing AI in the first place then the speculation really doesn't hold up.

I work in the gaming and film industry as a concept artist and the amount of legal problems some devs are getting into by using AI for art development is insane. I get to sign contracts where it says I cant use any AI tools for the art I have to work on for the project, and this is getting more and more common, because the legal teams are afraid of this big lawsuits against their companies. AI for art is not yet a big of a problem for artists, we are not losing jobs, actually, "ai artists" are getting fired even in small companies since art development for projects is way more complex than what an ai can do at the moment. Also, protecting IP's legally is way easier than what people think. People should be more afraid of common careers, because if AI gets no regulations, trust me, it will take all the jobs from people who usually do repetitive activities, even strategic positions inside businesses are in danger. So lets hope it all goes well

Only regulation AI needs is watermarking containing both info about model, dataset and possibly prompt if posted publicly. Anything else and it runs the risk of being restricted to overpriced licences rather than a useful tool everyone have access too.
