Monsterpatch is the latest game from Sean Young developer of Littlewood and Kindergarten, blending together Pokemon and Stardew Valley with a little of their own Littlewood thrown in.

    I’ll be watching this one but I’m not planning on backing. Time will tell if Nintendo lets this see the light of day.

      Coromon never got sued.

      But yeah your right, even the sprite work looks similar.

      I’ll def play it if it comes out.

      there’s been plenty of pokemon clones. palworld just offended them because of how close they look like pokemon and then they sued over the capture bs or whatever.

        Funniest thing is those patents were filed after Palworld’s release. Nintendo really has no leg to stand on.

        EDIT: Also, Pokemon is itself was released after Shin Megami Tensei. It’s important to realize that while Pokemon may have perfected the monster collecting genre (for a time - I’m looking at you, Scarlet/Violet…) they were certainly not its progenitor and never have been the only player in the field.

        What got palworld into Nintendo’s crosshairs is their partnership with Sony.

        Other Pokemon-likes are safe from Nintendo because they’re not a threat to their IP.

      Weeoo, no need for the alarmism. There’s literally nothing in that trailer that suggests that Nintendo could take any action against the developer.
