I love the cow, and I may be rambling a bit at length at the moment, and I may point it out when I see it, but I don't see myself being that connected to it beyond nostalgia. Hehe.
I do~
IT IS SUCH A CUTE DESIGN.
I grew up with so many Havest Moon games, Friends of Mineral Town, A Wonderful Life, A Tale of Two Towns, Magical Melody.... there is something just calming with the cows in the series. They are made of pure love.
Also, the cows in HM / SoS is not always the iconic bubble cow. Though bubble cow is the usual, there is quite a few other designs as well within the series. (Alt text does not work, so: Animal Parade, Wonderful Life, Tree of Tranquility, Story of Seasons.)
Pickmon *chose* the iconic bubble cow.
I love how I literally googled 'video game cow' *AND THE FIRST RESULT* was the Harvest Moon bubble cow.
Harvest Moon is a series that is close to my heart, since I grew up with it, but I don't see it talked about often.
Even if the model designer just simply typed 'video game cow' and took the first image as inspiration, to copy, without knowing Harvest Moon, it is still acknowledged...
I am honestly just also, weirdly, kind of smiling at the fact that Harvest Moon was kind of worthy enough to be plagarized? Because I don't know why they decided to steal from Harvest Moon, but acknowledging the bubble cow (even if stolen) means they still maybe felt it was worthy to steal.
Overall, Pickmon is just something I am just seeing and just can't help but think how ridiculous it all is. They took notes from Palworld, and then used those notes on Palworld itself, along with Pokémon (again), and other popular series.
I am not, like, upset. I am more like, flabbergasted, suprised and kind of laughing at it.
Like, the cow from a casual farming simulator series that is iconic, and they copy it directly one-for-one. There is so many other cow designs, even in Pokémon, and they funnily chose to rip off Harvest Moon.
Not Normal? *looks at type chart*
You are a Ghost type after all, so I don't know why people woukd expect you to be Normal.
I am legitimately going a bit crazy over this.
I don't know why I am hung up over the Harvest Moon cow of all things, but it is *that* iconic thing from my childhood.
I love Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons. I want to make my own farming sim. And this cow is just so specific to Harvest Moon.
Aww. I'll keep an eye out for more unhinged essays for you, then. 😔
This is a joke post, but something I find so silly and absurd is that Pickmon, of all the things they took, they took the silly Harvest Moon / Story of Seasons bubble cow.
This was what I had to pause and rewind to double check when seeing the trailer. Of all things to take, the HARVEST MOON COW??
Is nothing truly sacred anymore?
YES!!
Yes. We love unhinged women here.
Girls...
Same back to you. 😔❤️
*hands her a $0 bill*
