    As much as I don’t like Nintendo’s business practises to be fair in this case many of the pals are straight up copies of Pokémon with one thing changed

    Definitely a good case for Nintendo here, not sure this is a winnable battle even without the overwhelming force of Nintendo’s ninjas

      This is

      PATENT INFRINGEMENT

      Not COPYRIGHT

      This is patent trolling because Nintendo knows they don’t have a case elsewhere

        Ah, had thought the obvious thing for them to go for was copyright because of the obvious similarities

        No reasonable person looks at palworld pals and doesn’t see the heavy similarities with pokemon
