Their strategy is impecable! So many huge companies will want to sue them, that they will have to first fight among themselves about who will sue them first.
@ContriteCatholic I mean tons do it's just Nintendo only cares for the successful ones, you can find hundreds of copies but they mostly let it fly until it becomes too successful for their taste
I don't think Bandai is gonna care that much unless they're ripping off Agumon, a prominent Digimon from Time Stranger, or...what's the latest anime series? Is it still Ghost Game or is there a new one? I haven't been tuned into Digimon anime for a few years now. Ghost Game might be old enough that they have a new series.
The new anime is beatbrack the last anime that agumon be a main character was the crossover one. And that was because it was a crossover and before that was data squad. But they care about agumon because he is the face of the series He is their Pikachu. Agumon didn't even have a prominent rule in time stranger. Omnimon did appear a few times. But agumon didn't really appear in the story as a key part. Maybe your thinking of cyber sleuth were an agumon did play a more important role in the story. But in time stranger he is just a digimon you can use and has a powerful digeivolution in agumon bonds bond of bravery. But no real story role.
While watching this, Nintendo’s lawyers must have felt like a 6 year old running down the stairs Christmas morning and seeing mountains of presents under the tree
if they lost to palwrld then they will most likely lose to this game as well. because nintendo/pokemon can't patent monster summoning. shin megami tensei and dragon quest came out years before pokemon, but you don't see ATLUS and square enix trying to sue.
@arthurbinado7576I mean, I guess. I really don’t think anything will come of this situation. The game will come out and people will most likely not play it because we already have palwrld.
Moist you need to address Nux came on your show and said a random girl was a p3d0 cuz she's a VTuber (taiga) and RUclips let me ban her YT when I was in highschool. Your voice reach caused this and nobody is big enough to get attention to her
If palworld can do it and be defended for it. Why wouldn't everyone have the same option for this game? Because its a knockoff? Palworld is literal garbage. Every idea was stolen from another game then poorly mashed together. Neither should be made but there's cash grab scams like this yearly at this pont
@killerrick9643 stolen from another game can be argued, but poorly mashed together it is not. it's fun and decently well designed and most importantly it's fun.
@killerrick9643 just because you don't like it, doesnt mean everyone is feeling the same. look at the player count chart. look at how big the game is, look at the user review. your opinion is subjective to you. but you can't deny that it is one of the best indie games that come out in the recent years. it was innovative and unique that it gave us what we crave and missing from modern pokemon games. but this pickmon game is as charlie said, looks like a direct copy of palworld's gameplay.
@TheFrodoBaggins33it's the game in game freak and the pocket in pocket pair just to add to the layer of "were copying everything" nature they're going for
it's one thing to steal from the company but never asking to incorporate the designs of artists is super scummy. like with cobblemon people will make fakemons as addons but it's not trying to claim anyone's work as their own
You’d get reminded of how shameless these gaming companies get for every Mobile ad you get on YT man lol. Idek how it’s possible/allowed that there’s even a GBA emulator app that could run Ads on YT but Aparently it is.
4:07 using a glider with pikachu clone on shoulder while next to a giritina/rayquaza mix 4:14 using a bird as a glider that is fairly close to a bird in palworld 4:20 chillet copy on the bottom left and a creature with sobble features 4:24 literally breloom 4:28 braviary/staraptor mix as a glider whe you can literally do that with a braviary in a recent game 4:32 swamperts mixed with relaxourus 4:37 fire version of a kingpacca also the character lookalike link 4:44 literally pikachu 4:46 the stone cooking station and conveyer belt are identical to palworld models 5:23 almost an identical copy of Anubis from palworld but had lucario features on its head 5:38 literally pengullet 5:41 near copy of a grass pal 5:44 capture device that you throw but it’s also a card 5:49 giritina/rayquaza 5:52 moltres/Ho-oh and groudon 5:58 literal copy of a pal but different shade of blue 6:04 quite literally mamorest and the player using the creature he slide on with minigun which a pal does the same thing that had the same shape 6:07 ceruledge 6:09 rocket backpack which a couple pals have 6:13 fire type miridon that turns into lowkicks 6:20 arourous without frills 6:21 roadhog from overwatch 6:50 gliding down like Fortnite 6:56 more robotic jetragon
I dont play pokemon so idk about jetragon but that one at the end of the trailer is literally valstrax from monhun copy and pasted with a different color palette dude its insane 😭😭😭
nah man, it's totally different, that pickmon has a boulder in its back! being real tho, yeah, it's just Mamorest from Palworld. and the bear thing that has a card thrown at it, i'm pretty sure is using the same movement animations as Mossanda, also from Palworld.
Palworld was gracefully dancing on the line of legality to the point where I could concider it art. Pickmon walked in drunk, belly flopped on the floor, started rolling around, somehow in a flash of consciousness looked at the legality line and finally decided to rolled over it and afterwards as a cherry on top puked on that line.
Fr, they called Palworld a copy, but come on, pretty much the only thing similar to pokemon was being able to capture funny beasts, other than that, it was closer to a automatization game like Satisfactory with survival mechanics and a third person shooter
@cosmicdude8282 I mean, it didn't help that PocketPair's other game they released at the time was called "AI: Art Imposter" where you literally use Generative AI to generate "art" and guess who didn't have the right prompt... And before Palworld released, the CEO was gushing over gen AI advances and even posting about how impressive an AI pokemon design generator was... Extremely suspicious for a studio making a game "inspired" by Pokemon, who released an gen AI game and was caught with models that were topologically similar to some Pokemon...
Did it? This seems more like a copy of palworld than pokemon, and palworld did not genuinely create anything new because the vast majority of their gameplay mechanics are in the public domain. Survival game. Public domain. Shooting enemies public domain. Creature capturing public domain. Open world public domain.
@invertexyz Except the ceo never said that, he was praising ai's potential in the future, he never said anything about ai pokemon design. nor are the models even close to pokemons in polygon count. if they were "caught" using similar models the lawsuit would of been about copyright rather than patent trolling.
@invertexyzTopologically similar? Are you referring to that dude on Twitter who admitted to making all of that up because he was just buttmad? Also, that's some neat, irrelevant correlation you're digging up from two years ago.
they did that with all of them LMAO they all look like "legally distinct" versions of actual pokemon. That mushroom head one at the start was literally just a breloom recolor....
@ODespertarColetivo nah it does. My grandma just last Christmas gave every child in the family these obviously off-brand pokemon cards. I was trying so hard not to laugh when they were opening them up
Do grandmas still do that? I assumed they wised up enough to buy their grandchildren Fortnite/Roblox gift cards or something. That's what you see in line at grocery stores now.
@TGTTOfficerHuynhHoiyk, they tell me not to engage with bots, and I'm not gonna after this comment. But if the person who makes these bots see this, just know, you are not funny, people will eventually stop caring about you, and you should quit. The joke is over. Stop. Get a new hobby. Okay bye forever
@hectornieves537yeah but it has the botw colour scheme with a main character that has just copies botw link, thats what I meant. Like not only is it copyiny botw Link but it has a glider that looks like his AND seems to function exactly the same in terms of weightband glide distance
Hold up, what if this is secretly funded by Nintendo to help fuel their lawsuit against palworld by showing a blatant ripoff. They can claim that by allowing palworld to do it, its now opening the door to stuff like this.
@Zinovad aurorus (6:20) was the most blatant one to me to be honest, along with emboar (6:00), glaceon (5:20), rayquaza (5:45), ceruledge (6:05), and koraidon/miraidon (6:15), they truly didnt even try to hide it, also the game kinda looks like shit anyway
Rumor has it that because Nintendo can’t sue Palworld right away, they needed to take their anger out on somebody so they created this throwaway company just to sue it.
Thanks for specifying that that was rumor, because it sounds absolutely crazy and stupid. Corporations are not that petty, and from what you're describing of the rumor, it serves no purpose. If I had to guess, this is some other group making a parody to prove a point of some kind.
Btw, the Meganium look alike they showed is a shameless copy, not of Meganium itself, but of a fan design of a mega Meganium. The owner of the design came forward about it. It look almost one to one like hers.
I have no love for Billy Mitchell but Carl Jobst 100% deserved to be sued and to lose, which of course he did, which is why he lied to everyone about what the suit was actually about, because it had nothing to do with cheating allegations, he just outright slandered Billy with some really terrible stuff about someone's suicide.
There’s already to my understanding a palworld ripoff on the App Store for google and apple named that but if I’m wrong it wouldn’t of surprised me if pocket games did name it that
Reminds me of how, after Lego tried to sue Hasbro for making their own buildable brick toys, a whole bunch of less reputable companies started selling blatant Lego knockoffs.
@petr4150that just makes me aware of how many songs of that name there are. There’s Blinded by the Light (1976), Blinded by the Lights (2020, edit: apparently the actual title is “Blinding Lights”), and apparently also the one you mentioned
@EthanMoran1999 I guess if they made a totally new game pretty quickly, they would still have an ability to make money on that though while the spotlight is still on them
@EthanMoran1999 Employers don’t provide free transportation, clothes, or food to employees, and those are necessities. So why do we assume that AC and heating should be free when those aren’t even “needs”? We need to stop being weak and look to the men of Sparta and Rome for inspiration. Stop expecting comfort, stop costing your employer money. Fight for prosperity and reject air conditioning this summer.
To me it feels like the whole damn thing is AI generated. Like someone prompted all the art assets to combine pokemon or palworld with each other or other games. That would explain why the game trailer looks actually decent/good from a visuals stand point, cause thats way to much damn effort to just put out a lawsuit magnet
Yup. Palworld was already a bit too shameless for me personally with how many of the designs were blatantly just recolored pokemon but at the end of the day who cares, pokemon isnt going to be going hungry any time soon But this studio having the audacity to steal actual fanart for its designs is what will truly make the internet tear it to shreds, thats a boundary very few people are fine with being crossed
@dubiousdeliquite6641oh my god this again No, Palworld didn't steal any art, the twitter user who did the comparisons admitted he resized Palworld's models to fit the Pokemons. Even Nintendo admitted Palworld monsters' designs are fine since they didn't sue on that premise.
@Nico78Notim not talking about whether they stole actual models or whatever, just the designs themselves are blatant knockoffs. If you seriously cant tell how rockless-lycanroc or green-goodra are shameless knockoffs then you are blind as a bat XD But sure whatever you say, the studio who’s entire catalog of games are knockoff titles are actually creative savants
I've never seen someone practically BEG to be sued like this before. Madness. Edit: They also quite literally have Temu Valstrax from Monster Hunter near the end there. Truly shameless.
Sure, except it's now known as a game that didn't come up with a single piece of it's own art or gameplay mechanics 😂😂😂😂 I already own palworld and swore off Pokemon years ago, why tf would I waste my money on something that's trying to be palworld but worse?
Yeah totally bro. Nothing makes gamers want to buy a game like knowing the studio plagiarizes other games. Im sure this will be great for their company and gamers will rush in flocks to purchase their games from now on. Big brain move forsure.
It absolutely does sound a slight pronunciation of Pikmin, in fact when I reacted to this trailer myself I immediately thought of Pikmin and was calling it Pikmin but then seconds later I realized I was calling it Pikmin after I called it the name it has being Pickmon and was like "Wait was I calling it Pikmin..... Damn it lol, oh well". But yeah Nintendo is gonna have an absolute FIELD DAY with this game, and absolutely suing the fuck out of it until it ceases to exist.
That studio name is 10000% chosen to fool stupid laywers who dont look at names for more then 5 second then send out lawsuits, there is a shockingly high amount of lawyers who do that
@davidleivaarias9498 I'm aware of what Concord was, but I'm just pointing out how funny and also sad it is that you people are just obsessed with finding the next thing to fail or be the "next Concord" instead of surrounding yourself with things you actually enjoy and want to see thrive
@StinkyOtter dude they're clowning around. why are you so obsessed with keeping that stick up your butt? Stop obsessing over what other people are or aren't "obsessed" over. You come off as super obsessive, it's weird dude.
6:00 this has to be the funniest part, its literally just Mammorest except a mountain on its back instead of trees, they'll probably call it fucking Mamountain 😭
whats even worse is that I heard that the mon's designs aren't just copied from base Pokemon but also fanmade ones like that Ceruledge centaur thing and a literal Meganium ripoff
You know that scene in Pirates of the Caribbean 3, when the Flying Dutchman and the Black Pearl double team the fuck out of Lord Beckett's ship? That's what I'm imagining Nintendo and Pocket Pair are about to do. 😂
I'm amazed Pickmon ever got through QA with how much copyright infringement there is lol. I think Palworld took some creative liberties to keep their stuff JUST different enough from Pokémon. Pickmon ain't even hiding a DAMN THING, just totally yoinking everything. Just this one time, I hope all the companies THROW THE BOOK at this copyslop lmao
they didn't just steal from a company, they stole random artists' fakemon designs. it's one thing to try to bring people the game they haven't gotten from mainline pokemon, but these people are just scummy
Look i bet their baiting with this one... not just testing limits but truely trying to brawl in the courts XD I wonder if their doing this to fight nintendo due to their crazy control of their patents/copyrights
Yeah, Palworld was juuust close enough to be suspicious, but still passed the smell test. Pickmon though? Not only does it not pass the smell test, but I can smell it from across the continent. And it reeeeeeeks, yo.
Pocketpair made Palworld, Pocketgame is making Pickmon. You got it reversed
Yep
pa po pe po pi
He won't correct it. He's had the same picture for each livestream for months. This is nothing.
@DoskoYeah, as we all know, Resident Evil Requiem came out *months* ago.
Literally..Metaphorically..I don't know what to say..let's be honest, it's all the same ~
And imma play the hell out of it!
Rumor has it that when Nintendo's lawyers saw this trailer, their pens started moving on their own
Their strategy is impecable! So many huge companies will want to sue them, that they will have to first fight among themselves about who will sue them first.
@iglidorbattle royale but for suing
Tons of game studios should rip off nintendo, like that they'll be too overwhelmed to sue everyone and we'll have tons of cool games
@ContriteCatholic I mean tons do it's just Nintendo only cares for the successful ones, you can find hundreds of copies but they mostly let it fly until it becomes too successful for their taste
The town flooded with their saliva. 3 dead
Nintendo isn't sending a Cease and Desist, they're sending their Spec Ops squad.
They’re sending a drone strike for this one
And they're all armed with Zappers.
their own paramilitary squad à la Coca-Cola
The Squirtle Squad?
Lmao gold
Palworld and Nintendo locked eyes and said, "our shits gonna have to hold on, this fuckers gotta go"
Well and blizzard too with the roadhog ripoff that was just roadhog
Like Optimus Prime and Magatron teaming up to fight Unicron.
Dude the mammorest look alike the necromus and sibelyx look alike literally 1 for 1😂
@Zeuslooseliterally😂
Mr. Swaggs & Dankton teaming up to get rid off Larry
Gotta sue ’em all.
Gotta catch em all. Catch every lawsuit.
yerp
GOTTA BAN ‘EM ALL 🗣️🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥🫵🏼
Getting sued by all ‼️‼️‼️
lmaoo
INCREDIBLY bold to claim that this game is planned for the Nintendo Switch
Its like a robber robbing a prison
@scruwdriverthat he’s locked up in
Palworld won't yet they allow this and fetish hntai games I'm being deadass about the last part
@scruwdriver more like a thief who robs a bank then tries going back the next dsy to deposit the cash in their own account 🤷♂️
Imagine it's an early April fools joke. I would approve it!
Pickmon is also the name of a digimon so throw them into the lawsuit.
There was also another game from Nintendo called Pikmin.
@what_in_the_heck_is_going_onmisspell Pikmin and it all goes downhill from there
I don't think Bandai is gonna care that much unless they're ripping off Agumon, a prominent Digimon from Time Stranger, or...what's the latest anime series? Is it still Ghost Game or is there a new one? I haven't been tuned into Digimon anime for a few years now. Ghost Game might be old enough that they have a new series.
The new anime is beatbrack the last anime that agumon be a main character was the crossover one. And that was because it was a crossover and before that was data squad. But they care about agumon because he is the face of the series He is their Pikachu. Agumon didn't even have a prominent rule in time stranger. Omnimon did appear a few times. But agumon didn't really appear in the story as a key part. Maybe your thinking of cyber sleuth were an agumon did play a more important role in the story. But in time stranger he is just a digimon you can use and has a powerful digeivolution in agumon bonds bond of bravery. But no real story role.
@ryancraig110 Nah, I just mentioned Agumon because he's like their Pikachu. And I'll check out the new anime, I guess!
The Roadhog is straight up Highway Hoggery.
While watching this, Nintendo’s lawyers must have felt like a 6 year old running down the stairs Christmas morning and seeing mountains of presents under the tree
“Mommy mommy look a new game to sue!!”
if they lost to palwrld then they will most likely lose to this game as well. because nintendo/pokemon can't patent monster summoning. shin megami tensei and dragon quest came out years before pokemon, but you don't see ATLUS and square enix trying to sue.
@bwillsskates2638 ok but design theft
The gameplay doesn't even look like Pokémon the issue here is design theft
@arthurbinado7576I mean, I guess. I really don’t think anything will come of this situation. The game will come out and people will most likely not play it because we already have palwrld.
@bwillsskates2638 oh yeah the game will be talked about for 2 days max, thats true
Charlie doesn’t mention it but multiple artists have already came out and claimed this game stole their designs this is truly the plagiarism any% lmao
not gonna be surprised if they gonna use gen ai for anything
Nuzzlock Plaigarism 100% speedrun no glitches no exploits save the animals
Ima still play it if it comes to Xbox.
Palworld and Pokémon should join forces and to fight a common enemy.
But can it defeat Limbo of the Lost?
Nope, I don't want to be sued.
Sorry bud you’re done
Moist you need to address Nux came on your show and said a random girl was a p3d0 cuz she's a VTuber (taiga) and RUclips let me ban her YT when I was in highschool. Your voice reach caused this and nobody is big enough to get attention to her
You’re gonna be facing multiple lawsuits soon, pal
Your Massive reach caused this
valid. case dropped.
6:13 and of course they had to throw an akira slide in there
It's called Pickmon, cause it's everything they picked from other IPs that they liked enough to steal.
If palworld can do it and be defended for it. Why wouldn't everyone have the same option for this game? Because its a knockoff? Palworld is literal garbage. Every idea was stolen from another game then poorly mashed together. Neither should be made but there's cash grab scams like this yearly at this pont
Gotta pick 'em all! Pickmon!
@killerrick9643 stolen from another game can be argued, but poorly mashed together it is not. it's fun and decently well designed and most importantly it's fun.
Not gonna lie. Im ok with this if they have something unique or interesting with the gameplay. Im not holding my breath though.
@killerrick9643 just because you don't like it, doesnt mean everyone is feeling the same. look at the player count chart. look at how big the game is, look at the user review. your opinion is subjective to you. but you can't deny that it is one of the best indie games that come out in the recent years. it was innovative and unique that it gave us what we crave and missing from modern pokemon games.
but this pickmon game is as charlie said, looks like a direct copy of palworld's gameplay.
How did you know about my lawsuit fetish?
Damn
😜
Dats hawt
SAME😂😂😂
@Tyler-f00k1n Settle down, Will Smith.
Pocket Game❌
Pickpocket Game✅
Edit: Hey I normally don’t do this but thanks for 1.4k likes, have a good day
s
@jpineapple9495All ready did
HAHAHAHA! Nice!
@h@higado2😐
This Deserves to be top comment
They really took "Good artists copy, great artists steal" literally.
1:30 The name is so similar even Charlie mixed them up
I was gonna say, "pocket game" is even more basic and obviously stolen than "pocket pair" which is kinda funny. This Pickmon game looks uninspired af
Thats the point
Came to comment the same thing lol
@TheFrodoBaggins33it's the game in game freak and the pocket in pocket pair just to add to the layer of "were copying everything" nature they're going for
Yeah, Pocketpair made Palworld; while PocketGAME made Pickmon.
Not only have they stolen designs from multiple franchises, but also stole some fanmade Pokémon designs too. How shameless can one company be?
it's one thing to steal from the company but never asking to incorporate the designs of artists is super scummy. like with cobblemon people will make fakemons as addons but it's not trying to claim anyone's work as their own
You’d get reminded of how shameless these gaming companies get for every Mobile ad you get on YT man lol.
Idek how it’s possible/allowed that there’s even a GBA emulator app that could run Ads on YT but Aparently it is.
How shameless a company can be? Idk ask pokemon company
@oakleyves In fairness Cobblemon is also not making any money, so doesn't have to meet the same standards
It's an israeli studio
4:07 using a glider with pikachu clone on shoulder while next to a giritina/rayquaza mix
4:14 using a bird as a glider that is fairly close to a bird in palworld
4:20 chillet copy on the bottom left and a creature with sobble features
4:24 literally breloom
4:28 braviary/staraptor mix as a glider whe you can literally do that with a braviary in a recent game
4:32 swamperts mixed with relaxourus
4:37 fire version of a kingpacca also the character lookalike link
4:44 literally pikachu
4:46 the stone cooking station and conveyer belt are identical to palworld models
5:23 almost an identical copy of Anubis from palworld but had lucario features on its head
5:38 literally pengullet
5:41 near copy of a grass pal
5:44 capture device that you throw but it’s also a card
5:49 giritina/rayquaza
5:52 moltres/Ho-oh and groudon
5:58 literal copy of a pal but different shade of blue
6:04 quite literally mamorest and the player using the creature he slide on with minigun which a pal does the same thing that had the same shape
6:07 ceruledge
6:09 rocket backpack which a couple pals have
6:13 fire type miridon that turns into lowkicks
6:20 arourous without frills
6:21 roadhog from overwatch
6:50 gliding down like Fortnite
6:56 more robotic jetragon
I dont play pokemon so idk about jetragon but that one at the end of the trailer is literally valstrax from monhun copy and pasted with a different color palette dude its insane 😭😭😭
@iszatso jetragon is a robotic dragon from palworld not as robotic as this one but it’s also the endgame dragon
Palworld is like an artist who used another art as reference.
Pickmon is just a straight up tracer
The Overwatch comparisons continue
EDIT: People missing the joke be like 😶
@ZombiedWolf what?
@ZombiedWolfbruh they meant tracing as copying art not fucking Tracer from ov 😭
@ZombiedWolfNo like tracing not the character tracer
@ZombiedWolf I'm already Tracer.
That green elephant pickmon is literally the same one from palworld
It’s literally Mammorest with a big rock on it’s back lol
nah man, it's totally different, that pickmon has a boulder in its back!
being real tho, yeah, it's just Mamorest from Palworld. and the bear thing that has a card thrown at it, i'm pretty sure is using the same movement animations as Mossanda, also from Palworld.
It's just 1 to 1 Mammorest, followed by the next scene having a Blue Anubis right afterwards... like what in the goddamn...
@The-Omega-Bladeits literally the anubis model with a lucario skin lol, this game is literally during pals + pokemon together.
Also at 5:40, its literally a mossanda model with the exact same run animation, but with a new skin 😂
Palworld was gracefully dancing on the line of legality to the point where I could concider it art. Pickmon walked in drunk, belly flopped on the floor, started rolling around, somehow in a flash of consciousness looked at the legality line and finally decided to rolled over it and afterwards as a cherry on top puked on that line.
Fr, they called Palworld a copy, but come on, pretty much the only thing similar to pokemon was being able to capture funny beasts, other than that, it was closer to a automatization game like Satisfactory with survival mechanics and a third person shooter
@cosmicdude8282 I mean, it didn't help that PocketPair's other game they released at the time was called "AI: Art Imposter" where you literally use Generative AI to generate "art" and guess who didn't have the right prompt...
And before Palworld released, the CEO was gushing over gen AI advances and even posting about how impressive an AI pokemon design generator was... Extremely suspicious for a studio making a game "inspired" by Pokemon, who released an gen AI game and was caught with models that were topologically similar to some Pokemon...

@invertexyzTopologically similar? Are you referring to that dude on Twitter who admitted to making all of that up because he was just buttmad? Also, that's some neat, irrelevant correlation you're digging up from two years ago.
Holy shit, I feel like I'm going to get sued for watching someone else watch the trailer.
5:48 They straight up just put rayquaza and giratina into a pokemon fusion generator and called it an original design.
you couldn't be more right wtf thats wild.
they did that with all of them LMAO they all look like "legally distinct" versions of actual pokemon. That mushroom head one at the start was literally just a breloom recolor....
Giraquaza is pretty sweet
I didn't know the Pickmon monster designer was a fan of Pokemon Infinite Fusion.
Omfg your right 😭
maybe they're relying on the 'confused grandmas buying presents for their grandchildren' strat
@ODespertarColetivo nah it does. My grandma just last Christmas gave every child in the family these obviously off-brand pokemon cards. I was trying so hard not to laugh when they were opening them up
Ah the good old grandmas buying knockoffs for grandkids technique, surprised devs are still using that to this day
Do grandmas still do that? I assumed they wised up enough to buy their grandchildren Fortnite/Roblox gift cards or something. That's what you see in line at grocery stores now.
I don't think grandma's are on Steam
@Tinlion09probably still do with gift cards now when they either buying the wrong cards or gift cards from a game their kids dont play
4:06 is that not just link from breath of the wild carrying pikachu 💀?
Yes
Literally just him, just more anime
Yes. Yes, it is. Hence the potential lawsuits.
..I mean Ganon is also in there so they went for the wamo
@konnermorris1753 I also saw the totk diving animation at one point
They stole from tem tem too, the card capture mechanic is stolen from thats
“Sheen, this is the 7th week in a row you’ve shown off the next Pokémon killer in class”
damn rip Jeff Garcia
NUH🎉UH🎉
This is why Cassette Beasts is based for not trying to be a “Pokemon killer” and still managing to be fantastic.
@TGTTOfficerHuynhHoiyk, they tell me not to engage with bots, and I'm not gonna after this comment. But if the person who makes these bots see this, just know, you are not funny, people will eventually stop caring about you, and you should quit. The joke is over. Stop. Get a new hobby. Okay bye forever
“Killer” is a stretch but ok
The Player character is just Link.
That's bink.
Even got the glider lol
@ThePlushpaw Not really, Nintendo doesn't own gliders
@hectornieves537no but you give them just a moment and they'll be owning those game mechanics 😂
@hectornieves537yeah but it has the botw colour scheme with a main character that has just copies botw link, thats what I meant. Like not only is it copyiny botw Link but it has a glider that looks like his AND seems to function exactly the same in terms of weightband glide distance
That's not Roadhog, it's Streetswine.

the yellow creature companion is literally just a combination of pikachu and eevee, it’s not even subtle
They also got Swampert, Ursaring, Piplup, Mareep, Skorupi, Breloom, Pidgeotto
“Pikavee”
@Zinovadadd Sobble too 4:20 those fins look exactly like its head fin
No it's not Eevee. It's Pawmot
@Zinovad aurorus (6:20) was the most blatant one to me to be honest, along with emboar (6:00), glaceon (5:20), rayquaza (5:45), ceruledge (6:05), and koraidon/miraidon (6:15), they truly didnt even try to hide it, also the game kinda looks like shit anyway
Rumor has it that because Nintendo can’t sue Palworld right away, they needed to take their anger out on somebody so they created this throwaway company just to sue it.
baseball huh
Thanks for specifying that that was rumor, because it sounds absolutely crazy and stupid. Corporations are not that petty, and from what you're describing of the rumor, it serves no purpose. If I had to guess, this is some other group making a parody to prove a point of some kind.
@maxkozak9702r/wooosh
@mohawho8251 that tracks
@maxkozak9702incredible social skills
Pickmon changed the name to Pickmos due to another lawsuit of Bandai Namco Holdings
5:30 IS THAT THE COW FROM MOOMOO MEADOWS???
Yes lol
Literally
WHAT A FUCKING SPOT. I missed that one. There's literally so many copyright I'm missing some.
Holy God it is
it looks more like the bubble cow from harvest moon/story of seasons
"Hey mom, can you buy me Pikmin?"
"Here honey, I got you that Pickmon game"
For once I thought he was finally getting his dreams fulfilled of being sued.
he was sued over 10 years ago for a traffic incident
This is one of the game that goes straight into "To Pirate"
I thought billy mitchell sued him a few years ago?
Holy 💩, that thumbnail alone is a massive lawsuit 😂
7:15 I love how the aftercredit scene is literally just Ganon in ToTK
Thought it was that Bendu thing from Star Wars rebels
fr and the opening scene is like botws opening scene. Not to mention how the actual main character looks like Link.
I'm amazed that no one pointed out that the protagonist is clearly just Link from Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom.
@thetraviler He does say when we get the full frontal that it is pretty "Shameless character design"
@thetraviler EXACTLY
Btw, the Meganium look alike they showed is a shameless copy, not of Meganium itself, but of a fan design of a mega Meganium. The owner of the design came forward about it. It look almost one to one like hers.
yeah its the fake 3d render of it. I saw the game's promo image and i went "istg i seen that meganium before"
I was thinking, it's kinda weird how they didn't just lift _actual_ Mega Meganium from Legends ZA. Now that makes sense.
Reason I never draw or post Pokémon designs even though I’d like too 😔
Isn't that just a copy of the green Palworld guy or are we talking about different creatures cuz I didn't see any Meganium
@TheElectricRaichu video thumbnail
‘Have you ever wanted to be sued?’ Said Billy Mitchell, and he went on to sue absolutely everyone.
And won only once and that was one too many.
@jurassicroom7673 To be fair Karl Jobst did suck, and the win was deserved there
I have no love for Billy Mitchell but Carl Jobst 100% deserved to be sued and to lose, which of course he did, which is why he lied to everyone about what the suit was actually about, because it had nothing to do with cheating allegations, he just outright slandered Billy with some really terrible stuff about someone's suicide.
@jurassicroom7673karl jobst 1000% deserved it
@Locust13 Not defending Karl Lobst but don't forget Billy sued that guy too.
When you’re in an unoriginality competition and your opponent is Pikmon.
1:36 dude, i think you got them mixed up
ok so I did hear him right lol
He did mix them up, can you really blame him tho LMAO
He did lol I was just so confused
Was thinking the same thing
Lmao
Kind of surprised they didn't just call it Palmon
There’s already to my understanding a palworld ripoff on the App Store for google and apple named that but if I’m wrong it wouldn’t of surprised me if pocket games did name it that
That's for the European market.
In America it's going to be called Ntscmon.
The Digimon?
@yvan2563 Clever
Too close to Paimon
Reminds me of how, after Lego tried to sue Hasbro for making their own buildable brick toys, a whole bunch of less reputable companies started selling blatant Lego knockoffs.
My favorite of those had to be Kre-o and Tenkai Knights.
Conspiracy theory, Pokémon company made pickmon 2:31
5:23 That cow in the background is literally the cow from Harvest Moon lmao
or....moomoo meadows.
theres also a few models ripped from palworld lol but with TINY altercations(?) on top of the model
4:27 there's straight up an Aetheryte from Final Fantasy in the background here too.
I know right? Not many are talking about this BUT IS LITERALLY IN THE COVER!!!
The song is also like a straight up copy of Blinded By Light from Final Fantasy 13's OST
Amazing
Right before it is just a literal Breloom. Main focus of the shot. They're not even hiding it.
@petr4150that just makes me aware of how many songs of that name there are. There’s Blinded by the Light (1976), Blinded by the Lights (2020, edit: apparently the actual title is “Blinding Lights”), and apparently also the one you mentioned
Entirely a promotional tactic. They will face legal action, implement some modifications, yet now everyone knows about the studio and the game.
These types of lawsuits will result in them losing most of their profits from the game so that seems self defeating.
@EthanMoran1999 I guess if they made a totally new game pretty quickly, they would still have an ability to make money on that though while the spotlight is still on them
@EthanMoran1999 The first step of this kind of lawsuit is typically a cease and desist, and if they comply the lawsuit goes away
@j@justinfritz4817 they comply, then what is the point of promotion?
@EthanMoran1999 Employers don’t provide free transportation, clothes, or food to employees, and those are necessities. So why do we assume that AC and heating should be free when those aren’t even “needs”? We need to stop being weak and look to the men of Sparta and Rome for inspiration. Stop expecting comfort, stop costing your employer money. Fight for prosperity and reject air conditioning this summer.
5:29 HOLY SHIT I THINK THAT COW IN THE BACKGROUND IS LITERALLY JUST THE MODEL OF THE MARIO KART COW
I'm like 95% sure the music in that trailer is AI generated
It sounds so weird
if it's not, it's so generic that it might as well be
Between 4:12 and 4:18 the violin definitely sounds familiar, like something from the 2000s. Just can’t remember where I’ve heard it
its wii sports resort music mixed with the sims music
It sounds like Xenoblade chronicles or something
To me it feels like the whole damn thing is AI generated. Like someone prompted all the art assets to combine pokemon or palworld with each other or other games.
That would explain why the game trailer looks actually decent/good from a visuals stand point, cause thats way to much damn effort to just put out a lawsuit magnet
7:33 I think that final monster came from monster hunter 🤣
the last 2 lol, yeah, first link pulls out valstrax, then magnamalo is in the post credit (post trailer i guess) scene
Final monster was Ganondorf
Looks like something from monster hunter but also calamity Gannon
I thought it was Ganon 😂
its like if teostra and ganon got fused together
They're also blatantly stealing fanmade pokemon designs as well. The meganium looking design is almost a 1 to 1 copy.
They just added eyebrows...thats it. A few tiny pixels. Everything else is exactly identical.
No no, Charlie. That's not Pikachu, that's Pikocho, a legally distinct creature.
This is the game where Palworlds and Nintendo will band together in the power of friendship
I'm all for friendly competition, but I will never defend blatantly stealing assets and fan art
Yup. Palworld was already a bit too shameless for me personally with how many of the designs were blatantly just recolored pokemon but at the end of the day who cares, pokemon isnt going to be going hungry any time soon
But this studio having the audacity to steal actual fanart for its designs is what will truly make the internet tear it to shreds, thats a boundary very few people are fine with being crossed
@dubiousdeliquite6641 if it was the other way around more people would care about it
@dubiousdeliquite6641oh my god this again
No, Palworld didn't steal any art, the twitter user who did the comparisons admitted he resized Palworld's models to fit the Pokemons.
Even Nintendo admitted Palworld monsters' designs are fine since they didn't sue on that premise.
@Nico78Notim not talking about whether they stole actual models or whatever, just the designs themselves are blatant knockoffs. If you seriously cant tell how rockless-lycanroc or green-goodra are shameless knockoffs then you are blind as a bat XD
But sure whatever you say, the studio who’s entire catalog of games are knockoff titles are actually creative savants
3:00 awfully close coffee shop
Awfully hot sloppy top
Nintendo suing a regular ass group of people is like shooting an ant with a .50 cal point blank.
when you're in a "get sued" speedrun competition and your opponent is Pickmon
Low-key with Nintendo on this one. Never thought I would say this.
Dustter-g6qecho chamber any%
roblox, the most sued company in history vs pocketgame, the most sued company of today
I've never seen someone practically BEG to be sued like this before. Madness.
Edit: They also quite literally have Temu Valstrax from Monster Hunter near the end there. Truly shameless.
100% a marketing stunt. They will get sued, make some changes, but everyone now has heard of the studio and the game.
Sure, except it's now known as a game that didn't come up with a single piece of it's own art or gameplay mechanics 😂😂😂😂 I already own palworld and swore off Pokemon years ago, why tf would I waste my money on something that's trying to be palworld but worse?
Isn't Nintendo infamous for imposing draconic punishments in copyright infringements? Don't know if they can even survive that
They'll be sued into oblivion and gamers will write it off as ripoff slop. This is not 4D chess lol
@tomoakley760it may be, if goading Nintendo into a lawsuit is the point.
Yeah totally bro. Nothing makes gamers want to buy a game like knowing the studio plagiarizes other games. Im sure this will be great for their company and gamers will rush in flocks to purchase their games from now on. Big brain move forsure.
Not to mention that “pikmin” is another Nintendo IP. Basically the same name
The game is a shitpost meant to troll Nintendo's lawyers.
Surprised you didn't bring up the fact it sounds almost exactly like Pikmin
It absolutely does sound a slight pronunciation of Pikmin, in fact when I reacted to this trailer myself I immediately thought of Pikmin and was calling it Pikmin but then seconds later I realized I was calling it Pikmin after I called it the name it has being Pickmon and was like "Wait was I calling it Pikmin..... Damn it lol, oh well".
But yeah Nintendo is gonna have an absolute FIELD DAY with this game, and absolutely suing the fuck out of it until it ceases to exist.
Yea I was thinking the same thing
1:23 Another Minecraft horse dead, such a tragedy.
I mean, it has "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" vibe right now
That studio name is 10000% chosen to fool stupid laywers who dont look at names for more then 5 second then send out lawsuits, there is a shockingly high amount of lawyers who do that
They're so incredibly inspired that they're also aiming for a prestigious Concord lifespan
Why are you people still so obsessed with Concord lol
@StinkyOtterBecause it was a massive slowmoving trainwreck that everyone saw coming, so it defined the baseline for bottom of the garbage bin
@davidleivaarias9498 I'm aware of what Concord was, but I'm just pointing out how funny and also sad it is that you people are just obsessed with finding the next thing to fail or be the "next Concord" instead of surrounding yourself with things you actually enjoy and want to see thrive
@StinkyOtter dude they're clowning around. why are you so obsessed with keeping that stick up your butt? Stop obsessing over what other people are or aren't "obsessed" over. You come off as super obsessive, it's weird dude.
This almost feels like Nintendo made this just to say “SEE? PALWORLD IS THE SAME!”
twist joke
Not really when i saw Palworld i didn't think of Pokemon since it has proper open world and 3D characters lol
@tomislavrasic7766too bad the actual gameplay was also based on another game too
1:28 PocketGame is Pickmon’s dev, Pocketpair is Palworld’s dev
Whos that Pikmon? ...Its Pikchu!
6:00 this has to be the funniest part, its literally just Mammorest except a mountain on its back instead of trees, they'll probably call it fucking Mamountain 😭
Yeah you’re right my eyes got so wide when I saw that and Anubis, their gonna call him an-lube-is.
0:11 Wow can’t believe Eminem took Charlies genius verse without crediting him
They did it just to ragebait and nobody can tell me otherwise
Was looking for this comment it had to be done for some updoots for sure!? Right?
Seeing pikachu literally first frame is diabolical
whats even worse is that I heard that the mon's designs aren't just copied from base Pokemon but also fanmade ones like that Ceruledge centaur thing and a literal Meganium ripoff
Ahh the mc from zelda and pikaru from lawsuitmon
Someone should one-up them and develop a game titled, "PoKeMaN".
it would kind of be funny if it's just a reverse world of pokemon where you're a creature that catches humans
@PIRAIDERthat game already exist.
It called Sujimon.
Minigames from Yakuza Like a Dragon and Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth 😅
You know that scene in Pirates of the Caribbean 3, when the Flying Dutchman and the Black Pearl double team the fuck out of Lord Beckett's ship? That's what I'm imagining Nintendo and Pocket Pair are about to do. 😂
1:40 - They took the studios name too? I bet they took all the employees names as well
Pocket monsters
1:45 You got the dev names swapped, bro. Palword is made by PocketPair.
They’re just THAT similar I suppose!
They're both trash it makes no difference
Charlie nearly succeeded in gaslighting me on this lmao
@tanklike4413same. Had me second guessing so hard
That's a Failed Successfully moment if I've ever seen one
It's like if Palworld had done what Nintendo accused them of.
Maybe that is the point
We've gotten "Scream 7, awfully hot copied spot"
These cold openings are getting ELITE
first 5 seconds of the Trailor: Pickachu and Giratina
6:05 ceruledge my boyyyyy
they made it a centaur, i can't LMAO
They missed the opportunity to call it Suemon.
Suemeon
Nintendo: "Everyone get back in seat, we are having a New trial"
I'm amazed Pickmon ever got through QA with how much copyright infringement there is lol. I think Palworld took some creative liberties to keep their stuff JUST different enough from Pokémon. Pickmon ain't even hiding a DAMN THING, just totally yoinking everything. Just this one time, I hope all the companies THROW THE BOOK at this copyslop lmao
They're testing the limits on this one
they didn't just steal from a company, they stole random artists' fakemon designs. it's one thing to try to bring people the game they haven't gotten from mainline pokemon, but these people are just scummy
Look i bet their baiting with this one... not just testing limits but truely trying to brawl in the courts XD
I wonder if their doing this to fight nintendo due to their crazy control of their patents/copyrights
What does QA have to do with copyright law? That's up to their legal department.
@Paris-k6mNah they're doing this to fight pocketpair. Its 90% palworld copy
Pickmon seems like a false flag made by Nintendo to set precedent to sue Palworld. That's my crackpot conspiracy theory.
That was my first thought as well. It's not like Pocketpair will or can do anything. This only benefits Nintendo...
Damn we getting video game false flags too.
Or made by palworld to distract Nintendo lol
That would be believable if not for the Roadhog
It did say a release would be on Nintendo Switch...
A lot of those Pickmons are almost 1-1 with Pals. Mammorest, Anubis, Sibelyx, Kingpaca. It's wild.
It literally is Mammorest with a stone on its back
And Palworld almost 1-1 ripped of Pokemon but nobody cared.
@dboot8886Not even comparable, at least Palword bothered to make their own assets 😂
@dboot8886 Please show pictures of 1-1 ripped Pokemons in Palworld. I will wait.
@dboot8886the literal only one that comes to mind that is close is verdash and cinderace they're very very similar but they're not the same
Pickmon sounds like a lawsuit even the Jamaican governement can be apart of.
Palworld suing them for copyright infringement would be hilarious
Hurling boulders from teensy brittle glass dollhouses
this gotta be some psyops to make nintentdo ally with palworld LMAO
At least palworld knew the difference between inspiration and plagiarism. This is unacceptable
Yeah, Palworld was juuust close enough to be suspicious, but still passed the smell test.
Pickmon though? Not only does it not pass the smell test, but I can smell it from across the continent. And it reeeeeeeks, yo.
3:43 That didn't look like two homies clapping at first. Looked like a different kind of clapping...
7:20 "Luigi" 🤣🤣🤣💀
It's so blatant that even Charlie confused the developer names. Pockerpair developed Palworld the Pickmon developer is PocketGame.
He did it on purpose
This is the infinity gauntlet of possible lawsuits
Prepare for lawsuits and make it double
