Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit
ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 1 day agoIf you set out to create a game involving collecting, or even looking at and cataloguing, a bunch of different fantasy creatures, you’re going to have some that are at least a little similar to pokemon.
If you search for a fox fire witch you’ll see different interpretations on that. But somehow Palworld made a fox fire witch extremely close to an art of a fanmade Mega Delphox.
It’s not an official pokémon but no way in hell they’re didn’t just create the pal based on this art, it’s just too similar.

But that’s not the point of this lawsuit. They patented broad game mechanics and are successfully litigating ownership of those ideas.

I’m not talking about the lawsuit, I’m responding about the idea that eventually people will create monsters that looks similar to Pokémon because of the vast amount of Pokémons, Palworld clearly tried to be close as legally possible.
