Not really sure it’s for me but I am just happy that it really annoys Nintendo
Out ofthe loop here. Why does Nintendo care?
They plagiarized a bunch of Pokemon and used the publicity generated to bring attention to their game (which admittedly has nothing to do with Pokémon aside from the aforementioned similar-looking monsters).

Actually they’re suing because of these alleged infringement of these weirdly general patents:

  • throwing an item at a character in a field triggering a combat state.
  • capturing creatures in the wild, rather than in a battle setting.
  • riding creatures in an open world and transitioning between those creatures.
  • Don’t forget that these patents (or modifications of existing patents) were made after Palworld released.

    Nintendo and their lawyers are scumbags
