 The rapid rise and success of PAL World, Pokemon with Guns, passing counter-strikes May 2023 peak. Pokemon fans are accusing the game of plagiarizing the Pokemon universe. The very least heavily inspired by Pokemon characters. Some guys have hacked into the code and put models of some Pokemon meshes right into the same mesh as a close to equivalent character in PAL World and they line up with near-mathematic exactness. Now, I played the game. I don't think it's that great. I think it's kind of janky. There are people who really like it. Some people like it just to stick their finger in the eye of Nintendo. When you watch the trailer, it's like, oh, am I watching Zelda or am I watching Pokemon? Is it Zelda with Pokemons? Like, and then suddenly your brain goes, well, that would be kind of cool if there were Pokemons in Zelda and they had guns. Like, I think it's a perfect storm of confluence.
