nanoUFONearly 6 months later, Palworld devs confirm Nintendo never drew so much as an inch of its legal sword over bootleg Pokémon allegations
NeatoOf course not. The plagiarism comparisons were overblown and no one can copyright the basic idea anyways.
They are also just a fad and generally a boring game with a lot of faults. They aren’t a threat.
Patapon EnjoyerThey wouldn’t have a leg to stand on legally, but it puts me off that a lot of the designs are just blatantly copycats.
conciselyverboseCopycats of designs of real animals in a similar art style?
MysticKetchupC’mon dude, cartoon animals doesn’t cover the amount of suspiciously similar Palworld color schemes and proportions we’ve seen compared to Pokemon like Cobalion/Lilligant/etc
Every complaint I saw was real world proportions that were similar to actual animals.
But I straight up don’t care even a little bit. You’re fully legally entitled to have characters that resemble someone else’s characters. There’s no “suspiciously” anything because copying their character’s aesthetic with your own flavor is entirely legitimate and legal.
