Nintendo has to make a paid event out of a game that was made in 1992, and one of my favorite games to boot. The only major difference is dialogue and the fact you get the dog in-game in Dragon Quest IV and the Shiny Dogs in Pokemon by event. It kinda makes me sad that Pokemon gets so unoriginal at times. I wonder if there's copyright infringement here. -James
You seem highly upset. I also fail to see the similarity here, besides the fact that dogs are involved in some way. The video quality really doesn't help either. Anyway, it's impossible not to copy off of anything anymore, really. Nearly everything that resembles a good plot, game play mechanic or even a character's personality has been done to death already. Even if a game does come up with an "original" plot, chances are that if you look closely and hard enough for similarities to a game(like you or that guy seems to have done here), you'll find them.
I'm upset because they took it from one of my favorite games, and I guess being a game developer in training this concerns me because some other company might be looking at my work and looking to steal it. I guess I kinda find the Zoroark event kind of a disgrace to the original sourcework and not something you should have to pay for or drive to someplace to get to the event when you have it in a game already. -James
I agree with pokemonnerd. I fail to see the similarity here, if u didnt say that was a dog, i maybe did note it either.
