RaphZ @imraphz.bsky.social · 17/07/2026There's a trillion different pokemon, any "cute monster" design could easily be associated to pokemon, but when more than half of their "original" ideas are that close to certain pokemon, then it becomes harder to accept that it was just a question of being too many pokemons. 010
RaphZ @imraphz.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I mean I get your point, but it's not just a round sheep, look at this trailer and tell me that more than half of the pals there aren't at least close to a pokemon. Maybe part of it is also IGN's fault, cause this was the trailer that made palworld popular. youtu.be/D9w97KSEAOoyoutu.bePalworld - Official Trailer (Pokemon-Like Shooter Game)YouTube video by IGN 210
RaphZ @imraphz.bsky.social · 17/07/2026And yet you say people hate Palworld for the wrong reasons, when that's the reason most people hate the game. When you market your game as a "Pokemon with guns", you can't be mad that people start comparing the game with Pokemon. 110

RaphZ @imraphz.bsky.social · 11/07/2026To be fair, I still think VAR is necessary. Referee's can't see everything and usually make too many mistakes. The problem with the VAR is that they are the same referees that are making mistakes on field. There should be a specialized course to become a VAR referee. 010
