Yeah. People don’t quite get that, if TPC/Nintendo/GF/Creatures Inc.* had grounds to sue Palworld, they’d be the first ones to notice it and go for it.
*relevant due to allegations that the models were copied. …they weren’t.
Once I saw that they sued the Pokemon mod, I knew Palworld was safe
They didn’t sue any mod creator, they only had his trailers removed
For those, like me, that just wanted to see Pokemon Company’s statement
We have received many inquiries regarding another company’s game released in January 2024. We have not granted any permission for the use of Pokémon intellectual property or assets in that game. We intend to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to the Pokémon. We will continue to cherish and nurture each and every Pokémon and its world, and work to bring the world together through Pokémon in the future.
The Pokémon Company
My translation for the first sentence is “We have received many opinions from our customers that the other company’s game released in January 2024 is similar to Pokemon, as well as inquiries if those were condoned by our company.”
I think that shows better TPC’s statement that they got plenty of comments from people and they are very well aware of the situation, and how it reads between the lines like “OK, OK, you can stop telling us about Palworld now,” as the article suggests.
Pokemon fans are getting their kicks rubbing this in Nintendo and Gamefreaks faces.
I’m a pokemon fan. These new pokemon-like games seem really exciting, because they are taking the pokemon formula and innovating in a way that Game Freak won’t.
There are many complaints about the direction Pokémon is going. But people would just complain without directing to another game, besides their favorite classic pokemon game, or “ROM Hacks” without actually suggesting a particular hack.
As for myself, I was getting tired of the formula, especially as it shifted to more like a movie than a game with Sun/Moon. I withdrew from new Pokemon games until Legends Arceus and Scarlet/Violet, precisely because they add an advantage that the older games didn’t have. I had a lot of fun with Pokémon Scarlet, in large part due to the open world, breaking the straight line trend of the past four gens. It still suffers from too many cutscenes and slowness (not just frame drops). I still need to really pour time onto Legends Arceus. Cassette Beasts and Palworld are high on my wishlist now.
Yeah they’re not snitching, they’re mocking them lol
Honestly Pokefreaks are just such losers. They are desperate to make sure Big Corpo likes them and no bar of quality is too low for them to complain about.
