The US government blew up two prized buildings and killed thousands of its own citizens to be able to dig underneath them to find a a tomb that was buried there. Got it.

But why wouldn’t they have just unearthed it when they built the towers? Why did they need to destroy them? Wouldn’t excavating be easier without two piles of smoldering death on top of it?

This person is wildly detached from reality.

I just said that I would not argue that. That means that I think the game play is different.

Ah, that makes sense. I wasn’t aware of the 20 year limit.

What about the dynamic of capturing wild monsters from all different biomes in a ball? Isn’t that relatively close Pokemon? Game play is different, but the dynamics are similar.

That’s a good point. They want to hurt them however they can.

I wouldn’t argue that the game play is different.

I don’t disagree with that, but the line that is drawn between inspiration and imitation is blurred and the courts will probably rule in favor of those with the most money, unfortunately.

You can either explain your position, or you can be a pretentious ass. Like I said before, I’m often wrong. I’m willing to hear your point, but you refuse to make it and act pompous.

It was wrong for Nintendo to copy someone, but it’s not wrong for Pocketpair to copy someone. That’s what you are saying?

Again, this isn’t a copyright lawsuit. Making a game with monsters that look similar to theirs is not what the lawsuit is about. It’s about patents. Likely design patents like I mentioned before. If I made a country song with Eminem’s lyrics, of course you wouldn’t confuse it with Slim’s music, but I would need his permission first.

So it was wrong for Nintendo to do that?

rumor /roo͞′mər/ noun

A piece of unverified information of uncertain origin usually spread by word of mouth. Unverified information received from another; hearsay. A flying or popular report; the common talk; hence, public fame; notoriety.

propaganda /prŏp″ə-găn′də/ noun

The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause. Material disseminated by the advocates or opponents of a doctrine or cause. “wartime propaganda.”

This wasn’t a rumor. This was maliciously spread propaganda.

I am typically anti-capitalist and usually root for the underdog. Palworld is a blatant ripoff of Pokemon and those denying it are delusional. Reverse the situation, where Nintendo releases Pokemon after Pocketpair releases Palworld and everyone would be calling it a ripoff.

Yeah, Nintendo’s legal department does some shitty stuff, but their likeness was stolen. Also, they are suing for patents, not copyright. The fact that the monsters are caught in a sphere is damning Pocketpair, while other Pokemon copies like Digimon avoid this.

It’s just my opinion. I’m often wrong.

It’s clunky and the novelty wears off quickly, but it was worth a play.

Not Gen X, dude. I just got back from a hockey game I played in with a couple guys in an adult league though.

What’s happening, youngster?
