This game is literally just a pokemon ripoff with guns

[Z3R0]

Half the characters in trailers from what I've seen are just slight alterations to pokemon we've already seen. Hope this game get's a lawsuit

[SleeprunnerInc]

Nope.
Pokemon fanboys can get F'd.
If Digimon can exist, so can this.

You know having played a hell of lot of "Creature-Capture" games in my time, I have too say that Pokémon has plenty of rip off characters, Hell they have rip offs of creatures from other games, but I guess it's ok for Pokémon to base characters off of other IPs but no one else?

TPC, must have patented the idea of capturing creatures, as well as trademarked every single creature that could possible exist within the known universe....

All jokes aside, if you had used your eyes you would have seen other topics like this, with plenty of people explaining why this will not get a lawsuit, nor would they have any grounds, to do so.

[KalGimpa]

i also get to enslave them

eat them

You're literally a copy of 2 other humans, wish we could get rid of you. Also it's almost impossible to sue people for art. So you're a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ moron.

Some of the designs do look pretty close, but it's nowhere near the threshold needed for a lawsuit.

Non-Pokemon creature collector games aren't exactly rare though.
Just a few examples of ones that haven't been taken down by lawsuits:
TemTem
Cassette Beasts
Monster Sanctuary
Siralim
Monster Rancher
Digimon
Rhapsody a Musical Adventure
La Pucelle
Slime Rancher

TemTem was one that people kept saying was going to get sued and didn't.

ok and?

When I'm in a bootlicking competition and my opponent is a Nintendo fan:

Huge surprise if Nintendo doesn't hit it with cease and desist.

I don't think they can do anything. The the bar for successful copyright infringement litigation is absurdly high. If I remember correctly the burden for the prosecution is to prove the designs are either functionally identical or deliberately designed to mislead people into thinking it's a different IP, and it can't be protected under fair use, and it can't be a design simple enough that it's reasonable to conclude many people would come up with it independently (A T-rex named 'Rexy' for example).

Not a lawyer, so I could be off, but that's the gist of how I remember it from the last time it was explained to me.

Pretty much.
Since the Lapras design for one of the pals is based off Nessie and the Dinosaurs that had the similar build.

So even if the pokemon is blue and looks similar to Lapras, it's more or less comedy and a parody.

That's another thing to take in to account.
This game is more or less a PARODY of pokemon.
Same as the Animal rights advocates versions of Pokemon.
Moemon and so on too.

Why is there an apostrophe in "gets"?
