I've been looking at Palworld discourse as I come across it because it's something that interests me in a few ways. Discussions of AI usage and of plagiarism in media affects artists, and I am a big Pokemon guy even if I am highly critical of the games and company practices rnow. I think there's a lot of valid reason not to support Palworld/studio that made it, and to criticize the game-- the dev being a huge fan of using AI in making games and Cryptobro is enough for me, tbh. But I also feel like there are some arguments and reactions being had about why the game is bad where there's like, validity to them to an extent, but that people are working on assumptions or being overly reactive in a way that muddies valid arguments that can and should be made? And I think overlooking that is. I dunno. Not helpful in trying to have conversations on what is and isn't bad form in making art.

One of the big things is the whole accusation that the monster designs in Palworld are AI generated. I will be perfectly upfront with my take-- based on comments and tweets made by the dev, (especially the one below) I really do suspect that AI could have been used to either make monster designs wholesale, or to 'help' the process along. However, there is no definitive proof of this. This has not been confirmed. But I see so many people spreading that 'fact' as if it is. And again, I really do suspect that could be the case, but like. It's not helpful to spread misinformation, even if it's for a cause that might be good. Both because misinfo is just generally harmful and because it can do so much harm to your argument when you include falsities or state conjecture as fact to people.

Side note-- I've been seeing now that there are claims that the Palworld models are either direct rips of or heavily copy Pokemon models. For that, too, I've already been seeing that the claims of them being full rips can be proven false, but that it is very arguable that there are some severe similarities between elements of certain models, etc. I'm no 3D modelling expert, so for me I really just want to take this information with a grain of salt and wait until I see definitive proof one way or another.

Another thing I've been thinking about is the claims of the monsters fully plagiarizing existing Pokemon... To start, there's a whole question of parody and what constitutes being fair parody versus just stealing which I feel could be debated here. From what I've seen, the game was kinda marketed as parody, and looking at for example the Salazzle clone, its description really seems like it's parodying Salazzle to me. But moving past that, I do really feel that some of the Palworld monster designs are blatantly ripping off Pokemon-- however, I think that it's like, WAY less than I see a lot of people asserting. I've seen some people arguing that the Palmons are legally distinct enough that none are ripoffs but like, c'mon--

I genuinely think someone who argues that this guy doesn't look like Luxray is lacking observational skills.

This is another one for me that like, yes, the silhouette and certain features are different enough to make it 'distinct', but I feel like anyone with pattern recognition should be able to see the colors and design elements being waay too similar here to be a coincidence.

Also, there are definitely designs that feel like mashups of multiple Pokemon features to me, like this guy feeling like it's got Meganium, Serperior, Lilligant, Goodra in it--

But then there are some that I see people using as examples of plagiarism where I'm just like. Brother. That's just Common JRPG Mob Design.

I'll just use this guy as my one example but like. Claims that this is just a Wooloo rip are wild to me. This looks like I can find it in like half of fantasy JRPGs. There's other examples like this where I'm just like... I get that because a good amount of these monsters ARE very likely ripoffs/inspired by existing Pokemon, people are trying to find the Pokemon 'in' each Palmon, but I feel like so many of the comparisons are stretches which can weaken genuine argument.

Also this is an aside but a very petty thing-- I'll be seeing people claim X palmon is a ripoff of Y Pokemon when there's a different Pokemon that feels like a better comparison, like this guy?

So much closer to the unreleased water starter line from gen 2 than Lapras. C'mooooon.

I guess tl;dr though, I think there are genuine issues about artistic integrity, plagiarism, possible AI use and such which should be discussed about this game, and again, the company's ties with AI and crypto are reason enough to not support them, but. I feel like when having these conversations it's best to critically think about what's proven fact and what's speculation, and to consider what's a strong argument for why it might suck and what's not.

Queen

Word Count: 412 Prompt: Other Digi - Er, Kemonogami Featured Characters: Palmon, Biyomon, Patamon, Jijimon (á la Part 4) A/N: Say what you will about Part 4, or the game in general, but the scenes at the amusement park with these three Digimon made me laugh so hard when I first played through them. There's nothing quite like any version of the Three Stooges, even as genuine as these three. This isn't a very serious drabble at all; please take it as a bit of comedy and appreciation for probably the best comedic aspect of the game. @surviveweek

"Those humans are scary," Patamon said, a slight wheeze in its breath as it tried to recover from their retreat. "Maybe we should let Her Majesty handle them?"

"They're no match for her!" Biymon protested, lifting its wings vehemently. "We shouldn't bother her with such a trivial matter."

"We'll have to go back. We've barely begun to fight," Palmon said, a determined look on its face. "If it's for Her Majesty, we can do it!"

Patamon straightened, flexing its paws. "Then let's go chase those intruders away."

Or so they thought.

Not ten minutes later, they were catching their breath again. Those kidnappers were more powerful than they had anticipated. Once again, they were at a loss with how to take care of these intruders. Also, it was becoming embarrassing how easily they were defeated. (Never mind that they had barely used their attacks to fight the angry blond.)

"Perhaps we should tell Her Majesty about them," Biyomon warbled, its breath whistling through its beak.

Patamon sniffed. "Arukenimon sure knows how to pick strong servants."

"Her Majesty could definitely take them," Palmon said thoughtfully. "But I think we should keep fighting them back. We don't want them to find her." It nodded. "Besides, Her Majesty ordered us to eliminate any threats."

"I guess," Biyomon and Patamon mumbled. They didn't seem very convinced.

They were right.

Frankly, this was just humiliating. Patamon looked to be on the verge of tears, and Biyomon didn't seem much happier with these futile attempts to stop the kidnappers. Palmon was just angry.

"We will stop them from reaching Her Majesty. It's our solemn duty to protect her," it announced, pointing up at the castle where the queen resided. "She's counting on us!"

Somehow, that rallied Patamon and Biyomon's fighting spirits. "Yeah!"

From behind a tree, Jijimon chuckled. "Those youngsters sure have a lot of energy," it mused, stroking its beard. "But so loyal to that human child." Another chuckle left the mound of hair that made up its face. "Well, they seem to be having fun. Now what to do about those other children who have come here… Hm…"

It wandered off toward the castle, just in case the other humans landed themselves in a precarious position due to the queen's determination to remain in the park. Not that it could fault her in the slightest.

Knowing what it did about the way human children were often treated in this world, it couldn't blame her at all.

💋💋💋💋 // for gojo

SIX-EYES  BEARER  HAD  A  PROPENSITY  for  yapping  -  an  endless  swell  of  words  that  might  permeate  glossed  lips  at  all  odd  hours  of  both  day  and  night.  he  was  quite  good  at  a  too  -  talking  -  but  not  in  the  way  suguru  was.  suguru  was  good  at  talking  in  a  manner  that  was  charming  and  charismatic,  woeing  the  masses  with  his  vulpine  smiles  and  dark,  pretty  eyes  and  silky  tones.  satoru  was  good  at  talking  in  the  way  trainwrecks  were  good  at  being  entertaining.�� you  couldn't  look  away  -  no  matter  how  bad  it  was.

the  gojo  heir  sits  upon  suguru's  bed,  hands  gesturing  wildly  as  he  speaks.  the  lights  are  dimmed  for  the  comfort  of  his  gaze,  and  his  glasses  placed  aside  (  suguru's  cursed  energy  was  as  familiar  as  oxygen  -  six  eyes  at  ease  in  his  presence  ).  infinity  absent,  his  legs  rest  upon  his  friend's  lap,  while  the  sorcerer  explains  a  series  of  digimon  adventure  evolutions  in  one,  solid  breath.  ❝ so  you've  got  agumon,  gabumon,  and  patamon.  agumon  into  greymon,  gabumon  into  garurumon,  and  patamon  into  angemon...  oh  there's  also  salamon  an- ❞

whatever  inhale  satoru  gojo  was  in  the  process  of  is  promptly  knocked  out  of  his  lungs  -  replaced  instead  by  the  sweet  taste  of  suguru's  mouth  upon  his  own.  countless  times  -  he's  imagined  this  scenario,  and  countless  times,  it  was  so  much  sexier  than  him  yammering  on  about  digimon,  and  his  best  friend  utilizing  the  opportunity  to  shut  him  the  fuck  up.  in  his  fantasies  he  was  definitely  not  frozen  like  he  is  now,  letting  out  the  most  pathetic  meep  in  existence  swallowed  by  the  mouth  of  the  man  before  him  and...

by  the  time  they  part,  satoru  realizes  he  didn't  even  have  the  time  to  kiss  him  back.

❝ suguru... ❞  a  rare,  almost  demure  smile  splits  pretty  features,  and  he  leans  forward  then,  long  fingertips  gripping  oh-so  lightly  at  the  base  of  his  bun.  ❝ if  i  start  talking  about  piyomon  and  palmon...  can  we  do  it  again? ❞  there  a  soft  bat  of  snow  white  lashes  over  alabaster  cheeks,  satoru's  sweet  smile  an  innocent  beckoning  of  his  greed.

Digimon is on Toei Animation’s 2025 Calendar! If you squint at the bottom of the image, you can see the December art features the Adventure kids though with this quality it’s hard to tell if it’s their OG or Reboot versions.

A nice shoutout to the Chara Song + Mini Drama 2 album perhaps?

Edit:

Squinted at the new art for a few minutes and I think it’s this: Taichi and Hikari at the front with the cake, Hikari is holding a Tailmon ornament. Mimi and Koushiro decorating the tree, she is passing the Tentomon ornament, Agumon, Gabumon, Gomamon are already on it, Palmon ornament is in her hand. Sora and Takeru are getting the snack table ready. Jou and Yamato are handling the gifts.

Another edit: spotted Piyomon and Patamon also on the tree!

I'm gonna be honest with you... I misread an ask and spent all day yesterday putting way too much effort into the following visuals to respond to an ask, that didn't even exist I guess. Cool cool. Now if that doesn't scream I got a concussion idk what does

So in my brain, I thought I got an ask about what I would like future sets to be based on.

!!! - Spoilers for the evolution lines of Digimon World -next 0rder-, Digimon ReArise, and Digimon Survive, in that order. - !!!

First of all, generally, I'd love more game based sets, especially based on games with relatively large casts of characters and Digimon, to really fill up the set thematically!

Example number one:

Digimon World -next 0rder-

Now, what speaks against this is that most of these Digimon have been featured in the Card Game before, many of them thoroughly. But I feel like we will always keep getting cards if franchise favorites like Agumon, Guilmon & co., so I'd appreciate at least the variety in Tamers.

What I'd like out of a next 0rder set would definitely be another Mastemon, especially since despite Mirei and her Angewomon and LadyDevimon having been featured in the Re:Digitize focused set BT-11 Dimensional Phase, there was no new Mastemon. (I get it, Mastemon wasn't in the game, but come one, I mean-)

Also would love to see Analog Youth / Hiro / Mameo return! I feel like they could do interesting stuff with him. Luche also has potential for some special mechanics.

I highly doubt they'll create a new Digimon, but with official art featuring Shiki with Biyomon and Palmon instead of Agumon and Gabumon, I always wanted to have a Fusion of their ultimates, like Omegamon!

Next up,

Digimon ReArise!

Now this, this would be great. Not only will I personally jump at any chance for more Bearmon- this game had a large cast of characters, with quite a few uncommon evolutions, as well as completely new Digimon! And don't we all want more people to learn about NoblePumpmon?

Third example,

Digimon Survive

I feel like there is a lot of potential in a Survive themed set. I'd really love for all these characters to get Tamer cards! While I only have the basic evolution lines in my graphic, with there being branching paths for Takuma and a few other characters, this could easily fill a set! Even though Agumon, Gabumon, Lopmon and Renamon are pretty common and popular, there are many "unusual" Partners as well. I'd love to have a good Floramon card finally, as well as Ceresmon Medium!

What are your thoughts?

[digi-tama-in-your-pocket]

Been a bit of a rough day for me, but here's some progress.

My Uni evolved into Woopatchi, which is who I wanted, I love Axolotls and don't have that care icon yet. Gonna hang onto her for a bit. I'm in no hurry to complete my Uni if i'm gonna run it indefinitely until the next modern device. I think I'd like to send my Tamas off every two weeks, or a month if I am particularly fond of them.

And my Palmon X became Omekamon. Feels weird to not start from the baby form. Also didn't know who to expect since I don't know how many care mistakes it had. My Tamagotchi Smart was out of batteries this morning, I guess I didn't charge it much, but i'm deciding to put it away until the English Patch arrives. As for my Gen 2, it's still going. Had Zuccitchi for a while now, I hope it's not too late to get Zatchi. I wish the guides for evolution times were a little more accurate, they tell you what age they evolve, but since the smart people utilize the pause feature, they should really do what the digimon guides do any base it on the time they spend active.
