Pokemon scalpers and lawsuits

Image
Pokemon is kids franchise known for lawsuits and scalpers.  ninetendo (Pokemon video game maker) is suing Palworld (game been called Pokemon with guns).  Pokemon merchandise can get sold out on official store and expensive on third party websites (ebay, Amazon, etc).  I decided to get the sleeping plush from target because ebay had $1-$2 price difference for cheaper one (not worth it personally).

Pokemon repetitions

Image
 I found repetitions annoying as a kid but can tolerate it better as an adult.  I watched it live on broadcast TV as a kid versus fast-forwarding through repetitive portions on streaming sites.  For Brock always falling in love, I wrote an alternative storyline in my fanfic as an adult.

Pokemon and Digimon

Image
  Pokemon tended to go after games based on its franchise (ripoffs).  Palworld (basically Pokémon with guns) and Nintendo had some legal issues surrounding patents.  Try to make it creative but not rip off something else. Pokemon and Digimon were different.  Digimon had evolutions that were temporary before they revert back to lower stage but Pokemon evolutions were permanent.  Digimon was the digital world connected to the real world so the characters have stakes like Digimon Tamers and Digimon Adventure 2020.  Pokemon was set in fictional world.
