Found a list of pal and Pokémon comparisons. And frankly, I think it just shows how lazy Pokémon has always been. Sure the two sheep monsters and the two stingray monsters look similar, but that's because stingrays and sheep actually exist!
Should we start in on gamefreak for ripping off reality?
People comparing Piplup and the penguin pal and I'm like: they're PENGUINS. They're small PENGUINS, how the hell do you want them to not to look like each other!?
