Found a list of pal and Pokémon comparisons. And frankly, I think it just shows how lazy Pokémon has always been. Sure the two sheep monsters and the two stingray monsters look similar, but that’s because stingrays and sheep actually exist!

Should we start in on gamefreak for ripping off reality?

Wait, that’s it? There are six carbon copy palkemons? Out of how many? Like, you expect there to be some similar ones. Homages thrown in there.

A lot of them are really blatant, there’s a statue that’s just Lucario, and one of the grass types is literally just Donphan

Honestly the gameplay loop itself reminds me more of Viva Pinata than Pokemon, and that’s even with guns

People comparing Piplup and the penguin pal and I’m like: they’re PENGUINS. They’re small PENGUINS, how the hell do you want them to not to look like each other!?

TJA!
