By protecting their IPs and characters? I’m glad you don’t run any corporations, because you would give away IPs for FREE and drive the company to bankruptcy, rather than licensing them.

There's no pokemon in palworld.

PRIMORDUS92d ago

There is nothing to protect. People will still buy Pokemon games regardless of Palworld. Nintendo will never get it.

Pokemonster were based on Dragon Quest design. So what do we do ?

Angyobangyo92d ago

Oh right you clearly know how to run corporations. Must be a slow day at your corporation to be posting here based purely on your feelings. Last I checked the game was unveiled in 2021 and Nintendo never issued a cease and desist, let alone sue.

OtterX92d ago

@BeHunted shaenoide is right. Pokemon ripped off Dragon Quest first. Palworld monsters are as much a variant of Pokemon as Pokemon was of Dragon Quest.

It's expected. The designs of monsters look like pokemon with angry faces.

so now nintendo got a monopoly on making designs based on rl animals?

@Michiel1989

You will know if it is based on real life animals. It is obvious where the designs were taken from.

"You will know if it is based on real life animals. It is obvious where the designs were taken from."

its obviously were pokemon took their design from as well, so your point?

Also its similar but not their own, they CANT take down what they do not own, they did have to take palworld to court first, and they know they will fail miserably if they do...

You can buy the shirt here: https://www.redbubble.com/i...
And so many other's besides Sparkit on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/search...
Nintendo will not touch anything on Etsy, if they let anyone buy modded Nintendo Switches with the games installed, they are not going to take down a shirt on Etsy🤣 Example: https://www.etsy.com/search...

Ninty can't take down what doesn't belong to em, neither are they the owner of cutesy monster designs or the concept itself.

BrainSyphoned92d ago

I want a fan made Palworld TCG deck that is compatible with PokeTCG.

CobraKai92d ago

That’s not theirs this time. Sure they look close to Pokemon but it’s not Pokemon

So it looks like they have abandoned unreal for future iterations of the game and are sticking with ego. So that means no decent VR support on PC and none on console seeing as the ego can't handle it properly. I think I'm done with this franchise it's turned into fifa with a hefty price tag and no innovation from one year to the next. Time for someone else to have a go at this licence
