They sure took their sweet time to do this.

You capture them by throwing poke pal balls.

I looked it up and the mechanics are completely different than Pokemon. Palwaorld isn't even a turn based RPG so the two games aren't remotley comparable gameplay wise. PUBG suing Fortnite had more of a basis than this.

I think the sort of thing they might be trying to sue for would be specific 1:1 implementations of things in Pokemon like IVs, natures, egg groups, shininess, or hidden abilities as examples.
I'm not really familiar with Palworld so I dunno how many of those they might have implemented exactly the same; but from friends talking about the game, I think there are some mechanics like that which are implemented 1:1.

Even if they were, those are such vague mechanics that I doubt you could sue. That's like if Minecraft sued Rust for having crafting.

I would think it being a matter of the numbers being exactly the same, if there's exactly 32 IV values, exactly 25 natures, exactly 1/8192 shiny odds, that sort of thing; that might be more apt to be a vulnerability in sensitive Japanese courts.

Well in that case, the only sort of IV values are health, defense and attack, there are no natures, there are no shiny variants, no egg groups since everything can breed with everything. Honestly the only thing patent related I can see in Palworld is just the "you can capture creatures with sphere objects" and... That's pretty much it. I can see the issue being only about the sphere shit since TemTem is nearly a 1:1 Pokemon clone but it does it with cards instead of spheres. (Although people stopped giving a single fuck about this game really quickly.)

And poke balls catching monsters are literal rip offs of Ultraseven's Ultra Capsules. So much so Pokemon's original title was Capsule Monsters.

If Nintendo somehow wins on that then I hope Tsubaraya swoops in to sue Nintendo themselves.

If that's what they are suing over then I would guess Nintendo owns the patent on it and Tsubaraya can't sue, but we don't know what Nintendo is doing it over.

Another reminder that it's always morally justified to pirate Nintendo games. That's some next level fucking butthurt though, even for Nintendo.

Morals don't begin to come into whether you pay for video games or not, you autistic loser. You want to feel justified to download something for free instead of just sucking it up and downloading your dumb game.

Edit: point proven. You're more retarded and ineffectual spite-downloading games you don't give a shit about than the lobotomized college kids screaming "free Palestine" until mom brings the tendies.

It's kind of fucked up how nintendo's now literally doing the same thing they're known for having to fight universal over to smaller game companies (Donkey Kong being based on king kong) . Part of me wonders though if this was goaded into being by the spam false reports to them by twitter/reddit types.

EDIT: Also where the fuck were nintendo's lawyers when every fucking company ever was doing pokemon inspired game designs or pokemon clones during the 90s-2000s huh? There's a FUCKING ANIMORPHS ONE.
ANIMORPHS IS NOT A LICENSE YOU WOULD LOOK AT AND GO "HMM YEAH, POKEMON!" BUT NO IT'S POKEMON. THE STINKIEST KNOCKOFF IMAGINABLE. DID THAT ONE "JUST GET A PASS JUST BECAUSE IT WAS GAMEBOY"? OK WHAT ABOUT THE MILLIONS OF NON NINTENDO CONSOLE GAMES THAT ARE POKEMON CLONES THEN?
WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOUR LAWYERS NINTENDO?:stickup:

Guess it had to happen someday. It probably took so long because they had to find an excuse to sue them besides "they're making money and their idea looks too similar to ours."

Good luck, PocketPair, keep going and doing what Nintendoesn't.
