Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair Inc, the developer of Palworld, alleging patent infringement and seeking damages due to the game's similarities to the Pokemon franchise.
Palworld's developer claims that the game adhered to legal checks, despite Nintendo and The Pokemon Company asserting that it infringes on multiple patent rights and seeking an injunction against further infringement.
The lawsuit highlights the growing tension between original game creators and developers of similar gaming concepts, as Palworld, described as 'Pokemon with guns', quickly amassed over 25 million players.
Following a surge in popularity after its January release, The Pokemon Company announced an investigation into claims of copyright infringement, asserting they would enforce their rights if violations are confirmed.
