Oh yeah, just look at the new starter trio AND the world you have to play in. It’s obviously AI-Generated. The devs stopped trying to make good games ever since the 3DS era. You think they WOULDN’T use the low-effort AI shortcuts?

In fact, the Pokemon Legends Z-A devs actually DID get exposed for using AI to write their songs, and they still got away with it (just like how they manage to get away with every other bad descision). They’ve used Generative-AI before, and they’re not gonna stop now.

Do you have any actual evidence, or are you just pointing fingers?

I actually don’t think they would use AI for creature design. That’s like, their whole shtick at this point (I certainly don’t think anybody’s buying the games for the story), and I think Nintendo is smart enough not to risk the most important aspect of their games. I don’t think the starters even look that bad (aside from the bird) nor AI generated (including the bird). That said, I don’t doubt they’d use AI in almost any other aspect of the game.

Admittedly I haven’t seen any news about the game in like 2 months though, so I could be missing something.

  They did straight up steal one of the starters from Cassette Beasts, even down to the name lawl

    Despite the both of them being Pomeranians, they don’t actually like anything alike. Which tells me they didn’t steal Cassette Beasts’ homework here. Pomeranians aren’t exactly unpopular dogs, so it’s not even a little surprising Pokemon (a game with several other dog breeds) is adding one. It’s also where the both of them derive their names.
    
    Though Pombomb is a significantly better name than Pombon.

    As a huge Cassette Beasts fan, agreed. They didn’t attempt to imitate the (superior imo)explosive bomb design, with the tail as the fuse and the black fur turning to jagged red to imitate an explosion.
    
    Pomeranian’s exist. What a twist.

    Honestly, I would rather have Gamefreak steal people’s fan designs than take the shitty Mega Evolutions that we were stuck with in Legenda Z-A. There isn’t a single Mega exclusive to Z-A that’s good or even passable. Mrga Greninja, Mega Starmie, Mega Dragonite, Mega Golurk, Mega Skarmory, Mega Meganium, and all the other new megas are proof that Gamefreak HATES their fans so much that they would rather use an INSULTING design than admit that the fans can make better designs than Gamefreak.
