Quote:This has been a problem for all of the current gen. Publishers keep putting out trailers for their games in fucking 1080p on youtube. PS5, Xbox and PC games. Games whose assets were clearly produced with ultra HD displays in mind.
It's not as if youtube charged for 1440p or 4k uploads; they don't! That shit is free! Why must we suffer youtube's shitty sub-1440p-resolution bitrates? If 4K is somehow too hard, I'd take 1440p at least. The jump in bitrate between youtube's 1080p and 1440p uploads is noticeable. Why can't we even have that? There are still more trailers released in 1080p-only compared to 1440p or 4k trailers.
We are almost halfway through the current gen. What is going on.

Reminds me of that old Blizzard mantra from back when they were gaming's. "Simple to learn/play, hard to master."
I think that's a reason Pokemon has been the force it's been even with all the flaws and discontent people may have with the franchise.
I think you are overestimating competitive Pokemon actual pull or how the combat system shows this in game where Hardcore fans need to create a challenge run to have fun.
Also, good news you guys, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company will not change the combat system because of this Palworld. So dunno why are you worried by people having fun with the Ark with Pokémons game.

even the real pokemon look like fake pokemon.
Who the fuck recognises Pokemon outside of maybe 20 of the original batch and a few of the starters/legendaries? Especially as an adult? Like, I'm seriously gonna call the paedo squad if you're able to name the ones that resemble inanimate objects.
everyone knows those for the sake of dunking on how utterly stupid they are
call the squad if they can name the 37th dog looking one
36th dogemon
37th dogemon

Nintendo should sue
They are mad with the Dusk dev:

Dusk is better than any game Nintendo has released on switch

- be distinct, get stylistically close to pokemon without actually being pokemon, to capture the market that likes its style
- still make the designs appealing in their own right without being overdesigned like shitty digimon
it's crazy how much they feel like they could actually be pokemon, to the point where someday in the future, who knows? they might have a case to sue pokemon for copying them
Whole thread is full of amazing:

Okay. You're excused.

Doesn’t use AI, though. Those artists are also getting jobs (and I bet you many of them don’t get money for every Pokemon plush with their design that the TPC sells). AI is a fucking big can of worms but you are choosing the wrong battle to fight given that is unrelated and every video game CEO is already in the bandwagon.

I’m sorry, but did you were born yesterday? Also, again, this doesn’t use AI.

At this point all I can really say is that I hope all this ad populum doesn't blow up in everyone's face.
Neither Nintendo, The Pokemon Company or Gamefreak needs you help in dealing with a competitor. If you care so much about artists… ask them if they receive any money for how these companies use their designs outside “work for hire.”
In a just world, the heads of Nintendo and Game Freak would publicly apologize for being outclassed by this game through a press conference like…
They are full on falling for fake models in that pal world AI chat now, incredible lol

Maybe I'm mistaken but I believe it would actually be more legally risky for the studio to hire the guy who designed Pikachu to design a Pikachu look alike. The guy might not even want to because it could damage his relationship with Nintendo

The Dusk guy literally has the site www.ThiefWithGuns.com redirect to his game, Gloomwood, which is literally Thief with guns. How fucking dense can these reeeees be?

Yes Nepenthe, proving the point that your forum is full of retards.
Like those artists own anything they worked for with TPC and game freak. Sure they do.
These dumbass socialists think "eat the rich but not their capital" is a coherent position.

They should form a union.

the best part is, you can't possibly know
they could've asked AI for knockoff pokemon designs, let it run all day, then picked the best ones to re-create by hand, and no one would ever know
and to reeeees, that's just as bad as doing it wholesale without any artist behind it
(it's what naughty dog guy is implying about "cheating")
This Palworld thing is a delicious dilemma for these screeching autists because there's no resolution here. They're completely impotent to stop the market from consuming what it wants just like their little boycott of Hogwarts Legacy did fuckall. I'm surprised that thread hasn't started turning into a graveyard yet. NappyNep is probably on the verge of a mental episode so people should start getting actioned for actions soon.
