From some of the things I read it was behind a paid patreon. This likely brought the hammer down extra fast.
I’ll be shocked if they don’t DMCA the game itself soon.
It’s an original game with original content. Nothing about the mechanics in it are patented by Nintendo or anything.
Nintendo are incredibly litigation-happy, though. They’ll at least try. Calling it now.
I heard on the radio that the 3d mesh of pals and mons were identical.
I doubt they can unless Palworld literally stole models from Pokemon. While some of the designs are pretty blatantly copied, if they can’t prove the devs copied directly from them there’s not much of a case
You know that Nintendo is watching this game like a hawk, looking for any possible way they can do legal action.
I thought all of the IP was controlled by The Pokemon Company, which Nintendo owns a minority stake in. Shouldn’t it be the Pokemon Company who is filing the DMCA takedown and taking legal action?
Nintendo is their publisher, so may have the responsibility for this sort of thing.
Really, cum, it’s just the modder and not the game, so far.
Which is why they’re watching like hawks. To make it not “so far”.
Yeah no shit, though. Nintendo is excessive as hell with this, and Pokémon in particular is a franchise they protect like nothing else. Is it still the highest-grossing IP overall? No wonder they are onto anyone using it.
You mean to tell me that Nintendo don’t want their kid friendly mascot waving guns around.
I don’t know, sounds an awful lot like 1984.
Mario + Rabbids
And let’s not pretend that Pokemon isn’t a glorification of actually fighting to solve things and go up the ladder…

There’s a bit of a tonal difference between an unrealistic, brightly coloured cartoony hand cannon not unlike mega man and an AK47. Just saying.
And let’s not pretend that Pokemon isn’t a glorification of actual fighting to solve things and go up the ladder…
The thing is, Nintendo puts a hell of a lot of effort into pretending exactly this. Not to mention the similarities to IRL various animal fighting tournaments that are absolutely fucking barbaric.
edit: changed comparison slightly. The Rabbids guns are even more cartoony than I remembered.
Nintendo really is the Disney of video games. They had a solid idee 20 years ago and never did anything with it, except add more animals, because they know people apparently buy literally anything with a Pokémon on it. And now they are mad some nobody made a game people actually like.

I’m not saying that it’s right and they are wrong to go after that guy. But you know very well that they heard pokemon like game that is a huge success and they have all their lawyers behind it, to find anything they can.
I’m not big into pokemon, i played the red one 20 years ago and their game was not original at all. For me it was final fantasy 7 but you catch animals to fight with.Pokemon came before ff7

Sega yanma says wut
Can you fuck them tho
Not yet. But the possibility is being looked into.
Do they have a Vaporeon clone?
Ill give it a few weeks.
Was this mod released before the DMCA?
If so, anyone got a mirror?
