Pretty much the 'It' game of the moment, but Nintendo is thinking about suing for IP infringement:
Then Megaten be like "Nintendo, bruh"
If there is going to be a copyright/trademark case, it's going to be that some of the designs are a little too similar to existing Pokemon designs, not the basic concept of a monster taming game (which has been done numerous other times, often in ways that are much closer to Pokemon's gameplay than Palworld is). I don't think anything's likely to stick, but that's going to be the only possible avenue for suing them.Even that's not enough. Digimon would've been able to end Pokemon back in the 90s if "thing looks like thing" was a strong case. There's some talk that the Palworld devs might've ripped models from a Scarlet and Violet and then tweaked them which would definitely be enough but is also difficult to convincingly prove to a jury so even then might not be enough.

I don't have a windows computer right now. I have a chrome book, a MacBook, and a Linux. I do have a windows computer I could probably fix up easily enough, but I haven't because I don't really want to deal with a desktop right now. Not sure if it would meet the spec requirement either. I don't remember which operating system it has off the top of my head but I think it was a 7.Steam will automatically run windows games on linux and Chromebook with proton.
Oh great...the Palworld craze came onto this board as well.....
Everyone is automatically assuming Nintendo/Pokemon company is going to sue... like they haven't known this game exists for several years, being called "Pokemon with Guns" over and over.https://corporate.pokemon.co.jp/media/news/detail/335.html
Just wait until Nintendo starts their lawsuit... then the discourse online will be bloody, with people's unhealthy attachment to defending the video games they like.
Where does that say they absolutely will be suing?This is what I'm talking about with the unnecessary emotions. Like, I just don't get what your stake in this is.
Oh, it doesn't?
Next.
Maybe next time, discuss what's actually said, and not what your hardon wants.
"Craze" meaning one topic where some people say "this is kind of neat"?
You should touch grass.
Oh look, a cheap retraction and a double down with an insult. And you call me emotional.So your point is that you think that they're not going to sue, correct?

Electricity
This explosive bird can use electricity to fly in bursts of up to 1000 MPH, it comes out during thunderstorms
So, electric-typed Talonflame? :pYeah the more I look at it the more I actually like my shitty half thought out (and maybe even derivitave) design. The joy of human creativity.
Sorry guys, it's just I notice that everyone is talking about it.It's a popular game, and you're on a website where people discuss video games.

Which is why I can't stand copy-pastes. It's so easy.
It's easy to make one unique thing when you know everything.Palworld shit is supposed to look specifically like bootleg Pokemon. It is not an accident that people intuitively make the Pokemon comparison. The CEO of Pocket Pair's views about originality, Nintendo IP, and his respect for both are out there to find (and you'll never guess whether or not he thinks originality is overrated or not!). It is hilariously naive to think that Palworld just accidentally fell into making Ark Fortnite with Pokemon because "there's only so many colours, really." And even with all that, they didn't do anything legally wrong or truly morally heinous by copying so shamelessly. If they ripped or traced models and/or used AI to generate stuff those are different issues.
It's difficult to make a hundred unique things compared to a thousand things.
There has been no unredacted claims that it's been copied.
There's been no C&D claim.
Nintendo knows about it.
They're brushing with the same palette. Round cute animals with very simple and bold colors. There's going to be overlap because there's straight up only so many animals and colors to work with. There's a reason why there's ice cream pokemon, ball pokemon, and snake pokemon. Shit's not actually that unique.
Apparently 19 million people are playing it.
Never heard of it until now, but it appears to me as being along the same vein as Pokemon. Pass for me.The thing is, while they advertised it as Pokemon with guns themselves, its actually not that at all.
