Well to be fair, it might've slipped through because the image was pretty small.

Who's that platypus-crocodile hybrid?

I recall seeing them before!

Wasn't SMCD a Japan only release at the time? Wouldn't there be legal issues because of how Japan's laws work?

I know the shirt falls under parody and it slipped through, but I don't recall fair use laws being a thing in Japan, or was handled differently then the US.

Any clarification would help!

That profile picture.

I see this, your profile pic and thought you were referencing this:

It's one thing to not like something, it's another to ignore basic facts, even when it's right in front of them to justify your hatred for something.

This is exactly what's happening here with them justifying their hate for Game Freak, often for petty, illogical reasons.

Reminds me of an ex-friend who hates Nintendo because of Gary Bowser. When I explained that he coded devices to brick consoles, they said "they bricked consoles with malware? I can get another Switch, this dude can't get another life".

They ignored facts to justify their hate. Same deal here.

Not many Pals in the game do this, but this is something they should've done for all of them.

Sparkit works because it takes an existing merged concept and makes it a unique design. You can't confuse Sparkit and Pikachu for example by looking it.

Unlike Pickmon which is just Pikachu with feathers.

The reason this bothers me is that while it's a Pikachu parody, the design is nothing like it. Palworld should've focused more on the idea of taking existing concepts from Pokémon, but do it in ways that's unique design wise.

This works in Palworld's favour of being a parody.

True. The reason Palworld causes that ick wasn't that they made a wolf mon. It's the sheer abundance of Pals that looks like Pokémon rejects. Not just the species or concept, but also the colour palette.

The sad part is that one Pal, Sparkit took the "electric rodent" idea and made it not Pikachu.

Bluesky needs to stop kicking the hornet nest that is Twitter because it's starting to get embarrassing.

Before it was funny when they poked fun at that one AI edit done on them, but now they're acting like how Twitter does when they flaunt their "better" platform around.

Fun fact: There's a TVTropes page for all of the poor programming choices Pokémon made.

The most baffling one was when Game Freak forgot to encrypt the Wi-Fi communications for X & Y, and that the OG source code for RG was so bad it can't be localized.

That's why they went for Blue's source code.

Game Freak is able to make good games. Their non-Pokémon titles and those that came out of the Gear Project prove it.

RPG's are just MASSIVE in scope, and Pokémon is infamous for being really simple on the surface, until you get in the math and numbers for nearly EVERY mechanic they introduce.

Kuchipatchi!

Does it taste like battery acid?

Also, that Luxray looking Pal is unused. Might as well clarify it.

Even then, if the Pal is scrapped, I don't think it counts because there's a good reason why it's scrapped.

It's one thing to be inspired, it's another to almost be so close to the inspiration that see a Pal and your mind goes like "is that Lilligant or something else?".

That's why the designs of the Pals are criticized and compared to Pokémon at the time. PocketPair even went back and redesigned a few.

Keep in mind that this is not my post. Someone linked it and the Twitter post was deleted, so I showed them what it was.

The point they're making is not that they're based on the same species or walk on fours, but the fur and overall build is almost identical. It's easy to mix up the Pals and Mons.

This comes to me sometimes whenever I think of Bob Ross.

It's also a wholesome Family Guy moment considering that you think it's a mean jab at Ross at first, but then it reverses it.

TAMAGOTCHI!!

Because there's a concerning amount of replies/QRTs misinterpreting the announcement; they just mean 1080p30 is the baseline for a game to be labeled as Verified on the game's store page.

It's moreso for leniency with heavier games rather than any indication of machine power/lack thereof.

Thanks! I'm asking because people are freaking out and I want to spread the word that they're misunderstanding what the post is about. I wanted to make sure.

I got my answers. Thank you everyone!

I was asking a question to the OP to understand why this changed. The other person answered my question.

Thank you though! Much appreciated!

Thank you. This is what I needed to hear.

The Nintendo Seal of Quality was Nintendo's label to let customers know that the games they're about to buy are officially licensed. It's one of the methods they used to correct the issues with the video crash in '83: loss of publishing control.

Modern console makers still do this today.

In order words, Steam games that are Machine Verified will run beyond 30 FPS. Is that what you're saying?

As COWCAT revealed, tons of Steam curators who ask for keys are scammers and will downrate games if they don't get them.
