Here is the sequel with similarities between Dragon Quest and Pokémon: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/e4qJf4GZinlylGg.html (Dragon Quest came out first)

I love how these run the gamut from “Yeah, that’s a bit of a stretch” to “Yeah, that’s Eevee in a jacket.”

Can we flip the narrative and start saying they ripped digimon too

I'm not a fan of Palword, but even I have to admit 90% of these comparisons are huge stretches, and plenty come down to two very different creatures based on the same concept. I mean, how many big wolves can you make without them looking similar at all?

Tbh as a pokemon fan im glad palworld exists. I hope it will be some sort of wake up call for game freak to up their game. Tho i do think some of these design are straight up a spit on the face to pokemon, hopefully palworld will come up with more original designs instead of mixing and matching pokemon that already exist

0:23 those are Blaziken's legs 1:1

So this is what happens when you use the Polymerization magic card from Yu-gi-oh in a Pokemon Card game.

Studio Ghibli on 0:54 Are we a f*cking joke to you?!?

I agree that a lot look very similar but some others seem a bit far-fetched, for example the black owl one.

Some of these are so generally generic or plain looking that is hard to defend or argue that it's been copied or not copy/rip off. Lycanroc and the black wolf for example. If anyone else made another generic wolf creature then some would say it's just another rip off or copy paste.

7:35 are you sure ?

7:32 man what the hell they ain't even the same animal💀

0:50 POV you press B during an evolution

1:51 comon thats just a plant monkey

Its obvious that palworld is heavily influenced/inspired by pokemon, but i dont think nintendo can claim rights on what are basically just animal parts

0:29 no Serperior? Really?

Some of them are easy to recognize while others are harder

3:22 resembles nickit a bit

4:32 probably a little of Meowscarada as well

All i can say comparing both is, Poket Pair did better job at design and animation of PAL'S with, piggy-bank budget, then nintendo slackers having budget of billions

6:40 this looks more like Bellossom

I'm a fan of Pokemon and want Palworld to succeed, it's good competition for Pokemon because they've dropped the ball A LOT on their video games and trading cards.

1:46 Houndoom + Zoroark 2:13 Lycanrock + Obstagoon 2:40 Furret + Dratini 2:45 Pansage + Cinderace 3:22 Vulpix + Nickit 3:57 Tapu Bulu + corviknight 4:04 Toxtricity + Garchomp 4:45 virizion + Flaaffy

So you're telling me that there's an early game Pal that's a cross of Pachirisu and Leafeon- with a dash of Carbuncle from Puzzle & Dragons for flavor- and according to its Dex entry, it has a habit of accidentally killing its human masters shortly after learning how to use guns? _... So what you're telling me is I gotta own this game for every system that supports it!_

If you remake this, the cat at 6:32 is Galarian Meowth + Skitty

Some of the pals are straight-up fusions of some Pokémon

7:51 id argue that kinda looks more like warwolf, a scrapped design from gen 2

I feel like these comparisons can also be argued for creatures in dragon quest. Only reason I would see this being compared to these games in particular is because pokemon never had competition before in terms of sales.

1:43 you could easily see some Zoroark in there too. Such a cool fusion of designs

its kinda hard to make something similar to pokemons that doesnt looks like similar to a certain pokemon, i mean we have over a thousand pokemons

A lot of the designs are very close to Pokémon, that being said, ironically most of that are also much better than the Pokémon designs. I'm pretty satisfied with the Pals, their lore and all.

This has real Deviantart, "I own the concept of purple hair" energy to it...

Their screams are so similar.

6:12 that’s just cobalion. Like there’s nothing different 😭😭😭 cmon guys

7:14 this is literally just zekrom but bird

palword is just combinding pokemon

7:41 i see lilligant more than gardevoir

Some of the "similar" ones are really not that similar, like at 5:53, but most are pretty obviously ripoffs lol. I can think of a few pokemon that look even more similar than the ones used for comparison

Only thing this video showed me is how much better palworld is at designing and modeling creatures.

First off you can’t copyright Anubis haha it’s a Egyptian god so technically pokemon can’t own it. Plus it’s there own designs so no copyright infringement can be taken plus Microsoft is now involved helping the Palworld company

The one at 5:45 , honestly resembles Shaymin more than anything. In my opinion

This is a good video. But I suggest you to use the word "similar" rather than "copied". Edit: Thanks for changing the title

Indie games animation much smoother than the billion dollar company.

2:53 is Meganiums mega form lol

Okay some of these are admittedly stretches. The only thing flaafy shared with that pal was "pink sheep", it's not like vespiquen or Eevee

7:23 is Shaymin and you can not convince me otherwise.

Instead of hating on palworld, pokemon fans should just realize they've been getting played by the pokemon company and can't defend the state they release their games anymore. The last 2 gens they've released half finished games at full price and then made you pay for 2 dlcs that are also half assed. Palworld isn't even a full release and it's still better than what a billion dollar company has been giving you. The hate is directed at the wrong people, go after the pokemon company if anything

3:19 I do agree that there's a ton of ripoff in the game but this is definitely not a Vulpix 7:37 that's not even a Zigzagoon

There are 1025 pokemons so far, you could throw paint at a wall and it could be confused with a pokemon

2:30 yeah this one will be the new rule 34 main artist inspiration

I love how these people are literally like "Wah we own all animals and elements"

0:01 Pachirisu + leafeon. 0:11 Goodra + liligant 0:18 Gallade + decidueye 0:29 Serperior + Milotic + primarina + shiny suicune 0:40: Honchkrow + Hoothoot 0:49 Braixen + Delphox 0:55 Electivire + Zangoose 1:03 Clodsire + slowpoke + sobble 1:13 Lucario + boltund + raichu 1:20 Salamence + latios + Iron moth 1:31 Ceruledge + Silvally + spectrier 1:37 Agron + Zeckrom 1:46 Houndoom + Zoroark/Zeraora 1:55 Grookey + pansage 2:04 Spurr 2:13 Lycanrock 2:21 Alcremie + mareep+ woolo 2:29 Salazzle + some bits of Mother beast Lusamine 2:37 Dratini + furret 2:45 Cinderace 2:55 Meganium + Aurorus 5:03 Lucario 3:10 Piplup + rowlet + torchic 3:19 Nickit + Vulpix 3:28 Espurr + Inkay 3:37 Emolga + Sylveon 3:45 Donphan + Copperajah + torterra 3:53 Corviknigth 4:02 Garchomp 4:10 Shiny eevee + glaceon 4:20 Zoroark 4:28 Vespiquen 4:36 Mismagius + Braixen/Delphox 4:42 Virizion + Flaaffy 4:54 Eevee + fennekin 5:01 Gigantamax Eevee but tiny 5:09 A fat cow with Snorlax's face 5:19 Ralts + litwick 5:27 Alolan Ninetales+ regular Ninetales 5:37 Staraptor+ braviary 5:45 Gogoat? (maybe with a bit of Venasaur's "plant in the back" concept?) 5:53 Scrafty + Toxtricity + Spyro (different franchise) 6:03 Cufant (maybe with bits of litwick) 6:10 Cobalion 6:17 Azelf + Mantine/Mantyke 6:28 Wooloo 6:36 Delcatty + skunktank + galarian meowth 6:44 Bellossom + Gossifleur 6:52 Bewear + pancham 7:00 Cramorant + Natu/Xatu + maybe a bit of sigilyph? 7:09 Aurorus + Meganium 7:17 Corviknigth + Silvally + Arceus 7:27 Shaymin + a bit of Togedemaru 7:35 Zigzagoon 7:43 Mega Gardevoir + Lilligant + maybe even a bit of steenee (twitails). 7:50 Tangrowth + Snover.

4:45 I can't be the only one who also sees a bit of Sylveon in this, white legs with pink ends, the short fluffy tail and the long pink ears.

I also have to say, if a Pokémon player can look at these designs and straight up say the Pokémon that it resembles before they’re even revealed, and get it RIGHT (like I did), then there’s a problem. There were like two that stumped me and then one that actually looked like a real design on its own

既視感がないデザインを毎作品生み出すポケモンはすごい

it's actually funny to see how many vids are out there with palworld vs pokemon designs and in many cases they come up with different pokemon for the same pal which one or more pals are based off of or just look way too similar. I've only played red/yellow; silver, Black 1+2 and X; so most of these pokemon I don't even know but looks like there are a good few of them just looking similar to each other. xD

They all look so much like Pokemon but they look so freaking adorable!

The boar next to zigzagoon ☠️

Can we talk about that the Pass look way cooler than the pokemons?

The thing is they make it different enough to not be confused with one another

0:43 where is Mismagius?

People are stretching here. The very first one you show you claim it to be a fusion of Pachirisu and Leafeon just for being a grass squirrel? I didn't know Game Freak had the copyright for squirrels and leaves... Now, of course Palworld is mimicking Pokemon artstyle for its creatures and of course some of them are meant to be inspired or a parody of existing mons (like Anubis with Lucario), but from here to say that Game Freak has the trademark on sheep, wolves and sea serpents is just grasping at straws... Not to mention that Pokemon too had very clear inspiration and references in its designs to things like Godzilla and Dragon Quest, yet you don't see an angry mob against Psyduck and Baxcalibur... Also, if there is somebody out there that is blatantly copying Pokemon, it is Pokemin itself, with unoriginal designs and models excused by the lazy idea of paradox mons, regional forms and convergent mons.

As a Pokémon fan since Gen 4, I see similarities, however… all of these are original designs. From scratch, no AI generation to be found.

While some of these do lean a little too close to some existing Pokémon designs, I like how they in general feel like “Pokémon, but better”.

5:11 THAT FACE AIN’T NO COINCIDENCE

7:30 it is electric shaymin😂

Some of them could fit as either Variants or Converged ones.Grass Goodra is my favorite.

Anubis is not based on lucario. Anubis is based on anubis😂

I think it's more like, "Let me copy your answers and fix all the wrong ones."

00:13 the first pokemon that came to mind for me here was meganium

There is over a thousand Pokémon, naturally you can find a comparison for some

the palworld pals be looking better than most these pokemons lol

Some of these "similarities" are absurd. Like to say the Cow Pal looks like Snorlax because of the face alone and not the Cow Pokemon is a pretty big stretch. Facial expression alone aren't enough to be "similar" otherwise Snorlax and brock look alike as well as every character in anime with closed eyes

Jesus Christ, those pals look really cool

Fakemon artists are way more creative than this attempt of designing pokemon

Nintendo fan boys see another elemental animal in other games: OMG THEY COPIED POKEMON

5:17 What’s the name of the song that plays here?

Wow 😂 they really didn’t care on some of those. Some were a bit of a stretch though. I’m glad the game is fun. I’m interested to see how the final product is before I even think about purchasing it. Fun video.

I love how most of pals are just better design wise

6:45 yall forgot bellossom

2:20 not only it looks like Alcremie, but it also look like Mareep

0:31 That's just blue Serperior.

5:52 you're really reaching on this one.... i dont see ANYthing in common besides them being "reptiles"

The wolf doesn't even look similar to lycanrock, the fire fox one too, some of these are huge stretchs, being based on the same idea or concept is not being a copy lol

for 0:15, you can even say that it looks like a mixture of meganium and venussaur due to the flower fully blossoming on top!

Honestly, who cares! I'm so sick of the way that Pokemon has a monopoly over the monster catching genre. This is coming from someone who has played every generation. We need some new fresh blood. I hope Palworld gets really popular.

2:45 Bonnie buddies For some reason i think they are good Friends

i am glad people are doing this kind of stuff since it is only helping boost palworld's popularity, it would of had never happened without hater's 300IQ!.

I can see some people had fun with Pokemon fusion haven't they?

3:45 looks like a donphan fused with torterra

I like this video alot I think its cool to see some resemblance. Can't wait for Pal World new update and add some more comparisons.

Yo-Kai Watch & Digimon being all like: Welcome to the Club PalWorld!

1:08 I have called this one Chucario.

are you playing in 1280x960? Because that’s just a STRETCH’

Why would you compare a hellhound to a humanoid goatman? There are only so many ways to make certain animals look. The worst offender to me is Anubis vs Lucario. Anubis is a jackal, the shape may be similar due to that but its still a entirely different asthetic. It's not a shame to be inspired by Pokemon anyways, nobody took that much issue with Temtem existing even tho it's a way more similar experience to Pokemon in comparison.

WOAH Its Like Palworld Takes Place YEARS After Pokemon

1:00 also could sobble

2:59 reminds me of the smash or pass pokemon made by game theory

I never would have thought of Dumud ripping Slowpoke, but the fin on his head IS Sobble’s…like exactly.

2025: Game Freak gets replaced by Pocket Pair.
