I wasn’t aware that they had a ball throwing mechanic in the game. Considering the context they put a Pikachu with a machine gun on the cover, yeah they were just copying someone else’s shit.
No, it’s just a monster capture and battling game.
Do you really believe the similarities are coincidental? Like if Pokeman didn’t exist, they would’ve had the character on the cover look like that and would’ve had players collecting creatures with balls?
They’re obviously just ripping off someone else’s ideas.
Well, I think at this point most of them come from whatever object was in a designer’s field of view at any given moment. Some are from folklore, but many are just random pieces of furniture, or things like that.
There’s also a scoop of ice cream, multiple different sentient clouds, geometric shapes, and I’m pretty sure there’s at least one that’s literally made of trash.
humans have been trapping and taming and riding animals long before electricity, let alone video games. Flying on animals isn’t a thing in real life but its been in fables and myth. Cockfighting and other animal abuse is also a tale as old as time. You can’t legitimise patents for any of that and nintendo can get fucked.

There’s very few “original” Pokemon. Most of them come from Japanese folklore
There’s a reason Nintendo didn’t use the trademark angle, they would have lost very quickly

There’s a pokemon that’s literally a lamp.

by that logic pokemon is just an obvious rip of dragon quest
Shin Megami Tensei too
Actually play it and give it a shot. You’ll see how unlike pokemon it actually is. And you may just have some fun.
