Don't take Irene seriously. They are here to stir the pot, and I highly doubt they are serious.
Did you think I was talking about consoles or something?
Frankly, I think your initial response was made just for the sake of eristics.
If Nintendo already had a patent on the ball mechanic it would be fair enough for them so sue, imo. I wouldn't like it, as it stifles innovation. But they'd be in their right to do so.
My issue with it is that they only VERY recently filed that patent. After Palworld went into early access. And at that point it's complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ as far as I'm concerned. It shouldn't be possible to file a patent for something multiple different companies (or in this case, games) are already using. It's just a clear abuse of the copyright system.
You could convince every single person on these palworld forums to never touch a nintendo product again. The fact remains that it will never go noticed in Nintendos sheer numbers and charts. Not enough people care or even know what nintendo is doing to PP
You could limit yourself and never touch a nintendo product again if that morally makes you feel better. but thats all you'll ever get out of it. They have gotten away with selling old games at full price for decades. It's a greedy company and youre not even its target audience.
Sadly while i do shame Nintendo. Pocket Pair did fly a bit too close to the sun knowing how Nintendo is. If i recall one of the artist on the team did complain that a lot of their ideas were shafted to make them look much closer to Pokemon counterparts (Anubis is quiet literally Lucario)
and while i completely disagree with what Nintendo is doing to play devils advocate PP didnt exactly go about this correctly ether.
Now you have tons of people who paid for a game with one of its core mechanics ripped away, will they get a refund? no. Most likely not. and its just a pill you'll have to take.
Some ideas pocket pair can do~
-Change the ball throwing animation to a ball tethered onto a string that you can "YoYo" out into the field. ( Change ball into disk shape for the yoyo idea if need be)
-ditch ball entirely when it comes to summoning. Allow for a snap of finger animation and a holographic courser show where you want to spawn pal.
-digitized pal into field via wrist computer
-Wait for mods.
You have absolutely 0 understanding of why people are upset about this. It's not because of the visual aspect but that a tactical element has been removed. Before you could, for example, throw the sphere in a certain direction so that your pall would appear there to attack the enemy. At the same time you attack him from behind with a machine gun or other ranged weapon.
What of it?
Lucario was just a rip-off of Digimon's Anubismon, who debuted 5 years before Diamond/Pearl.
(Not even getting into Nintendo ripping off Digimon's Mega Evolution. Nintendo are a bunch of filthy thieves themselves)

Also, kid, PocketPair didn't fly too close to anything.
Because the lawsuit has literally nothing to do with designs, trademark, or copyright.
You were on my meat in a post I made but this comment expanding on that seems to irk you. make it make sense my boy. Everyone agrees Nintendo is trash. So don't fret.
Palworld has the potential to become Pokemon's biggest rival. Nintendo doesn't want the competition, so they decide to sue.
We agree that Nintendo is a scummy company. Boycotting them based on Palworld's situation alone wouldn't be enough. There are numerous cases that shows how selfish they are. $100 for an alarm clock? $50 a year just to play their limited N64 games on the Switch? Fangame DCMAs? YouTube copyright strikes? The list goes on.
Next I supposed their new Pokemon game(Legends ZA) is only gonna be played on the Switch 2.
Does the Japanese system of local then global release, and/or exclusivity actually work? No man is an island, but many Japanese seem to insist on keeping Japan in some form extremely Isolationist.
"Lucario iz the OG. Palworld stole him."
I'm pointing out that Lucario is not original, and was stolen from Digimon.
Your precious Nintendo are thieves, kid.
Don't be blinded by your love of the electric rat, that you fail to realize it's a lawsuit over computer code, and not designs or copyright.
(But thank you for reminding me I need to start working on my backlog of games)
Enjoy the blocklist.
They look similar sure but compare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucario#Concept_and_creation describing what is important to the character with https://palworld.fandom.com/wiki/Anubis it has none of the actual unique distinguishing features.... and might I add many of Lucario's "unique" features are intentional mimicry
I'm aware of it.
But Pokemon fans really seem bent on using Anubis vs. Lucario in their rants against Palworld.
And so I point out Digimon beat Nintendo to using the Egyptian god mythology (by 5 years).
In short, If Palworld allegedly "stole" it, then Nintendo also "stole" it.
There's no two ways about it. Either both are innocent, or both are guilty.
