Nintendo must be fuming

[Pandatoofu]

Could they actually try to sue them cause the animals look like Pokemons or are they save? Cause I really like the game and where it is going haha.

This isn't a "Pokemon Clone" this is an "Ark Clone" with pokemon elements. Which I'd argue is infinitely better since Pokemon has become dogwater.

i gave my switch to my little nephew for his birthday after that last one, he loves it so much but hes 5 what does he know of pokemon haha.

I think you can find enjoyment in them but compared to how novel and passionate they used to be going from what we had to what's currently on offer is such a disappointment. Should get him playing Pokemon Infinite Fusion, now that will blow him away, I started playing it recently, ABSOLUTELY WILD.

Copyright is copying something and reselling it. This is copy with changes, nintendo can only sit there and cross their arms. Not to mention the game has been known about for 2 years, sooo, there's that.

No. It was already established back in 2021 that the Palworld devs have passed every legal hurdle and Nintendo can't touch them. Furthermore this should be a wake up call for Nintendo to stop acting like it's still 2002 and evolve like their pokemon do. A lot of what Palworld has done Nintendo should've done years ago with pokemon.

I love how there where people calling me names and ♥♥♥♥ and now Nintendo is really going to target the game haha

Nintendo fans are probably fuming, because their enjoyment of games partially hinges upon others not having access to the same. It's a childish "I have this and you don't neener neener." viewpoint.

Enter Palworld which is popular. People are having a good time, and there's a resemblance to Pokemon. Suddenly their own toy seems less shiny in comparison and this upsets them, so they will try their absolute hardest to get the game cancelled. We're not allowed to have any fun catching monsters in balls. Only they are allowed to have that kind of fun, so they tattled to Daddy Nintendo en masse, forcing the company to issue a statement just to placate their whining.

Sorry people have been calling you names but Nintendo is only doing it because people keep harassing them to. Doesn't mean anything will actually happen legally.

Nintendo should sue real life because the animals look similar to Pokemon's

Yeah could be the case, I just hope nothing comes out from it cause I like the game. I just had this question back then if it could happen and everyone was like: No you stupid stfu. Thats why its kinda funny they acutally investigate it now haha

Nintendo released a statement essentially saying "we don't give a damn, please stop whining to us stupid Gaijin", so if anyone one is butthurt it's the losers on reddit.
Maybe Nintendo is a little salty over Poketpair doing what Nintendon't by delivering a product that filled a niche that their regular (not insane) fans wanted but were unable/unwilling to deliver for, so I guess they might have cried for a couple seconds into their pile of billions of dollars over that.

I honestly don't feel bad for Nintendo, Loads of anti consumer practices lately & Almost zero effort in their games aside from Link.

The fact you're still forced into buying a Switch is a joke, People don't want to play on portable consoles we want to use our PC.

The new Pokemon game was actual trash, They've sat there like kings for the last 20ish years and nobody else is allowed to touch the genre?

The only Argument Nintendo has is the pocket capture system and they don't own the copyright to that. It's not a pokeball, It's not Turnbased & It doesn't have Gyms for you to go get badges in.

Therefore, It is not pokemon.

Therefore, Nintendo can rage all they want but their argument is invalid.

Maybe make good games and people wouldn't go to competition?

Nintendo doesn't care but are keeping an close eye on it (striking down mods that turn pals into pokemon) both Dev teams out of Japan which in return alot of people need to understand Japan Copyright Laws compared to everywhere else its vastly different. Palworld isn't breaking any copyrights. If Nintendo did feel their IP was in jeopardy Palworld would of not even seen the light of day.

Honestly, even if the 2% chance that Nintendo wins. The single player and dedicated servers will still be viable. They just can't sell anymore copies. You may also never want to uninstall it ever either. They wouldn't be able to perform updates. Just a few things that come to mind. At least that's what happened in the past with other games (I won't post sources because I don't care enough to).

I'm going to buy 2 more copies out of spite (for people that aren't interested) because the animal activists lobbying against the game and the bullying and death threats are childish.

Palworld is different enough from Pokemon to avoid a lawsuit (to my knowledge), at worst the developers of Palworld would have to redesign a few pals (Anubis and Direhowl for example).

OP doesn't own the game..
Everyone hating doesn't own the game either from the looks of it.
We'd be a far better place here on steam if you could only comment IF YOU OWNED THE GAME ON STEAM.

Thats called an echo chamber...
It's also a strategy used by tyrants & dictators to silence the public.
Do you really want something like that?

That's fair, but was this really worth necroing a 50-days-dead thread for?

Pauses playing nexomon, looks, looks away, unpauses nexomon.

Guys, this far from the first pokemon clone. Also, it's made by a Chinese company. Good luck sueing anyone for anything at all from that country.
