Pokemon Clone Pickmon Accused of Ripping Off Fan Art

In the past day, a new game called Pickmon appeared on Steam out of the blue, and it’s poised to be a Pokemon clone that also draws inspiration from Palworld, but it’s allegedly ripping off fan art for its own critters. Where Pokemon-like games show up, controversy is bound to follow in some shape or form. In some cases, it’s a matter of similar mechanics and designs, but in the worst ones, it can be straight-up plagiarism. Pickmon‘s trailer on Steam clearly doesn’t hold back the Pokemon elements, and one could argue the main character looks a bit too much like Link from Breath of the Wild, and that the yellow critter is just a Pikachu reskin, but now there’s a case to be made for Pickmon using Pokemon fan art.
