Palworld Faces Pokémon Lawsuit Allegations
Palworld Nintendo Pokemon LawsuitPalworld Developer Faces Potential Lawsuit from Nintendo Over Pokémon Similarities
January 23, 2024
TOKYO, Japan – The creators of Palworld, a recently released monster-taming survival game, are under scrutiny as Nintendo and The Pokémon Company consider legal action over alleged similarities to the Pokémon franchise.
Developed by Pocketpair, Palworld has been dubbed 'Pokémon with guns' by fans due to its creature designs and gameplay mechanics, which some claim bear a striking resemblance to Nintendo’s iconic series. Despite its controversial reception, the game has sold over 8 million copies in less than a week, making it one of Steam’s biggest early-access launches.
Nintendo’s Response
While Nintendo has not yet filed an official lawsuit, industry insiders report that the company is closely examining Palworld for potential copyright infringement. The Pokémon Company released a statement earlier today:
'We intend to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to the Pokémon franchise.'
Legal experts suggest that Nintendo may pursue action if Pocketpair is found to have copied specific designs or assets. However, copyright cases involving creature designs can be complex, as general concepts like 'monster-catching' are not protected under law.
Pocketpair’s Defense
Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe has previously stated that Palworld was developed with legal oversight and denies direct copying. 'Our team has worked hard to create an original game within the survival-crafting genre,' Mizobe said in an interview.
Despite these claims, social media has been flooded with side-by-side comparisons of Palworld’s 'Pals' and various Pokémon, fueling debate over whether the designs cross the line into infringement.
What’s Next?
If Nintendo proceeds with legal action, Palworld could face removal from digital storefronts or forced redesigns of certain creatures. However, some analysts believe the game’s success may prompt a settlement rather than a prolonged court battle.
For now, Palworld remains available, but the gaming world is watching closely to see if Nintendo will take its next legal move.
