People be like "tHiS gAmE wiLl KiLl pOkEmOn" then show you fucking ark survival with a mildly bigger emphasis on cute monsters and bare bones ass gameplay

Oh what's that you made a witty meme about "GREAT GRAPHICS"? You mean to tell me the GRAPHICS are you selling point when the game you keep jerking off is literally just ARK with worse graphics? WOWIE

Pick up fucking Cassette Beasts or the upcoming Beastie Ball, not plagiarism simulator 9000. At least those games are made by people who support LGBT instead of someone who couldn't give less shit about your right to exist.

Well it's also a little absurd because you can't actually copyright game mechanics. Throwing a ball to capture a creature would fall under "mechanics" I would assume.

You can copyright Pikachu and Ash Ketchum and Pokemon and the name Pokeball, but you can't actually copyright the game mechanic of using the ball to capture a mob.

Why is it absurd?

You think a movie should be able copyright plot elements?

It's absurd to call it plagiarism, because it's not a copyrightable thing. I was agreeing with you and extending the point.
