Pickmon may be the most controversial game yet to be released in 2026, and I'm starting to think that's entirely intentional. Billed as a multiplayer open-world survival game for PC, it was immediately ridiculed over its apparent similarities to Pokémon not just in its name but in many of the character designs.
The game has also been accused of taking liberal doses of inspiration from other Nintendo IPs, including Legend of Zelda, and it's even alleged that Pickmon used Pokémon fan art.
