If TPC/Gamefreak now make a Pokemon survival game, Palworld should definately sue.

They have had decades to make the pokemon game we really wanted, they didnt. Palworld made the exact Palworld we wanted and it was of course an unparalelled major success (who'd have thought it).

Now im guessing this has caught the attention of TPC/gamefreak/nintendo, and theyll probably try to 'innovate' pokemon and make a survival game, which will be an OBVIOUS COPY of Palworld, theyll be trying to ride on the coattails of success of Pocketpair Inc, the clearly superior dev that put their customers and fans wants/needs/satisfaction at the forefront of their projects.

If this happens, Pocketpal would have grounds to sue them into the next millenia.

Pokemon itself is a ripoff from Dragon Quest. If they sue someone for what they did, they'd open up new possibilities for Dragon Quest to sue Pokemon.

Apart from the matter of fact that the online community will completely crush pokemon as of now. And i doubt they want that. They tried to sue "someone" and we all guess its Palworld - and that already backfired more than anything else in the past 25 years.

They wont sue Palword because they know it would hurt the pokemon franchise more than anything else in history. We all know what kind of sh-storm can rain down from gamer once people get mad. Look at Starfield, Diablo 4 or whatever. They have been roasted by the community - and i feel like the roast for pokemon would be even bigger because many people just waiting for it to release the storm.

If anything they secretly would attempt to blackmail or acquire palworld in a subtle way.

You guys do realise Legends Arceus exists right? It's already got crafting and an open world. Heck, what most people don't understand is Palworld didn't really take from Pokemon versions. It took from Legends Arceus specifically. With the catch 10 bonus mirroring the survey reports. Along with the alphas being a concept directly taken too. If Legends Arceus 2 added a hunger system, it would make it survival, but that would conceptually wouldn't change much.

If anything, the thing separating Palworld and Pokemon: Legends Arceus isn't the fact that you need to eat occasionally. It's that the Pals engage in real time combat, and Pokemon is still using turn based combat even in real time environments.

You can't sue a company for creating a game your own game shares a genre with, neither Nintendo nor Game Freak is blackmailing Palworld, and they aren't going to sue them, because they'd have no legal grounds to stand on. This is childish drama.

sadly, even if they made it, and somehow made it competently and not in the most lazy creatively bankrupt way ever . It wouldn't be available on anything outside of a console.

Also no studio can copyright a game genera, there are many survival games out there. This simply isnt how copyright works unless nintendo directly stole specific characters.
