Yeah no shit, though. Nintendo is excessive as hell with this, and Pokémon in particular is a franchise they protect like nothing else. Is it still the highest-grossing IP overall? No wonder they are onto anyone using it.
Nintendo really is the Disney of video games. They had a solid idee 20 years ago and never did anything with it, except add more animals, because they know people apparently buy literally anything with a Pokémon on it. And now they are mad some nobody made a game people actually like.
Someone made a mod using actual pokemon and put it behind a paywall, meaning they were making money off of Nintendo’s IP. Anyone would get into legal trouble for that. It doesn’t have anything to do with Palworld directly. Same thing would have happened if someone charged money for a mod that added Pokemon to Fallout 4.
I’m not saying that it’s right and they are wrong to go after that guy. But you know very well that they heard pokemon like game that is a huge success and they have all their lawyers behind it, to find anything they can.
I’m not big into pokemon, i played the red one 20 years ago and their game was not original at all. For me it was final fantasy 7 but you catch animals to fight with.
Bahamut Lagoon did it even earlier. That’s not the point I’m trying to make. This lawsuit has nothing to do with Palworld other than the mod being for that game. All big corporations have lawyers on retainer to protect their IP. Nintendo being mad about Palworld is complete conjecture.

You mean to tell me that Nintendo don’t want their kid friendly mascot waving guns around.
I don’t know, sounds an awful lot like 1984.
