against Pocketpair in Tokyo. Pocketpair is the ********* video game developer behind Palworld, a game people have been describing as a Pokémon parody, featuring cute ****-toting monsters. The game, released in Early Access form on January 18, was an instant hit, selling 15 million copies on Steam and crossing 25 million players

. The Pokémon Company said a few days after Palworld came out that it was going to investigate a game “released in January 2024” and will “take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to Pokémon.” Looks like the investigation is over, and it has decided to take legal action.

“This lawsuit seeks an injunction against infringement and compensation for damages on the grounds that Palworld, a game developed and released by the Defendant, infringes multiple patent rights,” Nintendo said in its announcement of the lawsuit.

Pocketpair previously said that its game is more like Ark Survival Evolved and Vanaheim than Pokémon. Company CEO Takuro Mizobe claimed that Palworld “cleared legal reviews” and that no lawsuits were filed against Pocketpair regarding its development. While Palworld’s monsters would look familiar to Pokémon fans, it takes on a darker tone. You can choose to play as a friend to the monsters known as “Pals” and ****** off the poachers trying to ***** them. But you can also ***** and eat Pals, make them ****** to the ****** and even sell them into slavery.
