Yeah what the fuck mr mime?

Although if you had to pick a person to kidnap and enslave to fight your battles, I'd pick a mime too. Who are they gunna tell?

"They were once men"

[–] Adramis@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Alternative answer: Yeah, so?

All media is informed by other media. All media copies parts of other media, often en masse. There's nothing wrong with incremental improvements.

mfs when they learn about tvtropes:

Well, some media is more blatantly a copy than others are. The character designs in palworld are pretty obviously a blatant copy, even though the gameplay is more on the original side

I never said it was? It's a problem if we pretend it's not true that the character designs are a ripoff, but it's clear that people are enjoying the game and I don't see an issue with that in the slightest

of what pokemon is Lovander a clone?

[–] Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 9 months ago

Salazzle? Idk only female salandit can evolve into one and they're known for having reverse harems, but that's a bit of a stretch of an association given how, uh, overt Lovander behavior seems to be, assuming that's the one that literally wants to fuck humans to crossbreed with them lol

Asking for a friend

What about Dinossom? Can't say that isn't a Bayleef/Meganium clone.

[–] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I mean, Meganium is closer to a Brachiosaurus, while Dinossom would be closer to a Corythosaurus... otherwise, yeah, they're both plant/flower dinosaurs.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Broncherry isn't supposed to be some sauropod too? The name makes me think of "brachiosaur" for some reason. Also the long neck.

[–] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 months ago

At least compare it with Broncherry, which is also on four legs.
