The Pokémon Company announced its commitment to investigate and take action against any violations of its intellectual property rights, responding to the viral game developed by a Japanese studio that has been likened to “Pokémon with guns.”
The survival adventure game titled “Palworld,” created by PocketPair, allows players to employ firearms to capture and train adorable creatures known as “pals.” Currently in early access on Steam, the game has achieved significant success, selling over 8 million copies since its release on January 18.
While “Palworld” has garnered positive reviews for its gameplay, it has sparked discussions about perceived similarities with the beloved and family-friendly Pokémon series. PocketPair’s CEO, Takuro Mizobe, revealed concerns about the situation, stating, “We have received defamatory comments about our artists and some tweets that seem close to death threats,” in a post on X earlier this week.
