>delta pokemonwow they stole an idea from themselves!
>field effectsholy shit i hope this is ironic. they had weather in gen 2 and saying they stole field effects (from what exactly?) is like saying they stole character customization. its just a game mechanic. its not some idea thats owned by someone or something.
>>35815180the English localization team definitely looks for fan names to steal. it happens too many times with english names. but the original designers dont look at fakemon, i think this is just a coincidence and its still pretty different.
>>35815907this. i designed fakemon extremely similar to wishiwashi and wimpod/golisopod before. the wimpod/golisopod were different enough, they were a different animal entirely and different type but similar design inspirations, and very similar body shape/look to golisopod, just different type. like a regional variant almost. but the wishiwashi was identical, just mine was slightly shittier looking because i cant draw. it was one tiny blue fish that evolved into a school of fish that formed one giant fish instead of changing with an ability. i didnt post them anywhere online (sent the scorpion to a friend years ago but that was it) but if i posted the wishiwashi people wouldve definitely thought gamefreak copied me. it was nearly identical right down to the eye being fish shaped
