Which is what everyone with some sense predicted, except Xitter exploded into drama from faking proof that it was directly copying Pokémon to claiming wild things like using gen AI to create the models.

These things are easily verified (or rather, debunked), but it was already too late. I lost a lot of faith in some gaming journalists as they kept perpetuating the wild takes and claims.

We'll do this all again soon with another game and we will not learn from it.

People are still calling it a Pokemon clone even though only like 10% of the gameplay involves catching Pals. It's closer to being a survival game with a dash of "Pokemon at home" than anything else.

In this case the "pokemon at home" is 1000 times better than the pokemon at the store

People don’t understand copyright laws, Nintendo’s lawyers do. Surprise, surprise.

I wish we could unfuckle some of those Disney extensions 😒
