he's giving puppy dog eyes...

Andromon from a while ago because I love he

I just remembered this post and I realized this also applies the same to Crystallis, the Wishing Tokens, the playable Unicorns and their pet counterparts, and the upcoming Dragons suggest Animal Jam: Play Wild! had to also absorb some of the "DNA" of Fer.al in order for the whole "playing as a mythical creature" concept to live on.

now that izzyzzz mentioned it… i think feral was doomed from the start. they built it with a million very awesome bells and whistles but no real core gameplay. every game that’s popular has some sort of core feature that, even with everything else stripped away, makes it fun to play. minecraft has building and exploring in an infinite world, fornite has robust pvp, pokemon has battling and catching pokemon.

feral didn’t have anything like that. the main “gameplay” i guess was exploring and collecting items and ingredients, which isnt as fun when you’ve explored the whole map to the point of memorizing every location and decorated your available avatars and sanctuary. and i feel like this is something that shouldve been addressed before anyone ever touched a keyboard to start working on the game. it’s something the character customization and item collection should’ve been built on top of, not as a substitute for.

I think Andromon would have a sweet, green thumb.

Here's a picture of a collection of computer viruses from different fandoms. Reboot, Digimon, and Deltarun 2. This is Megabyte, he's a trojan virus. Vamdemon, more like a hacker virus. And Spamton, he's clearly a spam virus. Normal company. Our computers are happy for them.

even though I didn't want to talk about this game again, well.. this game's developers got hit with a patent lawsuit (I can assure this might be that pokeball-like mechanic within the game, I don't think this involves the blatant creature designs.):

Nintendo Co., Ltd.

News Release : Sep. 19, 2024 "Filing Lawsuit for Infringement of Patent Rights against Pocketpair, Inc."

Press release of Nintendo Co., Ltd.

this is why you shouldn't get cocky when there'll be that one moment where something will soon or later will hit you right back

don't mess with karma as they say

Gonna say this as someone who has been critical of Game Freak both as a fan and as someone with a Pokémon SPIN for a while now:

Do not support Palworld.

The CEO of Pocket Pair, the game’s studio, openly supports AI and even made a game where making AI-generated art is its main mechanic.

Palworld is not Pocket Pair’s first instance of plagiarism, either. Their previous game, Craftopia, plagiarizes Breath of the Wild, whereas as its upcoming game, Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse, plagiarizes from independent developer Team Cherry’s game, Hollow Knight.

On top of stolen character models and concepts from fakemon artists, it’s already known that you can put Pals through what is basically slave labor BUT what’s been recently discovered is that the game allows you to capture and sell humans. This has been raising some red flags for black gamers looking into these mechanics, me included, considering this factors into the established slave labor system of Palworld.

TL;DR: I completely understand being tired of Game Freak and the Pokémon Company’s lack of polish over the years, but supporting something that is just as devoid of polish and even more devoid of ingenuity is not the way to make those criticisms clearer. This will only encourage more soullessness in the industry.

I implore you to support other creature collectors with some real passion behind them; I will reblog this post with recommendations shortly!
