Nintendo Just Declared War on Palworld Maker Pocketpair - Here's the Shocking Reason Why

Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have launched a patent infringement lawsuit against Palworld maker Pocketpair in Japan.

The news came after an investigation that began in January, which resulted in the gaming giants deciding to take action against the makers of Palworld.

Palworld is a survival game that was announced in January 2022. The game tasks players with collecting and training creatures called 'Pals,' and exploring an open world filled with unique biomes, quests, and mysteries to uncover.

While the actual lawsuit has not been made public, it is clear that Nintendo and The Pokemon Company are accusing Pocketpair of copying elements that are unique to their iconic Pokemon franchise.

The news of the lawsuit is likely to cause concern among fans of Palworld, who have been eagerly waiting for the game's release.

Nintendo is known for being fiercely protective of its intellectual property, and The Pokemon Company is no different.

The move also sets a precedent for other gaming companies to take a closer look at their own intellectual property, as well as how others may be using similar elements.

The timing of the lawsuit is also noteworthy, as Nintendo is set to release two new Pokemon games - Scarlet and Violet - that are expected to be massive hits.

Pocketpair has not yet commented on the lawsuit, but it is likely to release a statement in the coming days.

The lawsuit is set to be heard in a Japanese court in the coming months, and the outcome will likely have a significant impact on the gaming industry as a whole.

One thing that is for sure is that Nintendo and The Pokemon Company will not back down without a fight, as they look to protect their beloved Pokemon franchise at all costs.
