Don’t worry: The Pokémon Company is more than aware of the existence of Palworld, under which the ice is about to become very thin
In these last days Palworld has practically monopolized our pages, but among the many guides dedicated to the game in its early access phase we wondered what he thought of it The Pokémon Company. Moreover, although evidence of the inaccuracy of the Twitter user’s analysis later emerged Byo which put 3D models under the microscope, the initial no comment from the holders of the multi-billion dollar IP did not bode well. There declaration today speaks clearly: “We intend to investigate and take the necessary countermeasures for any copyright infringement” on the official pocket monsters. The game of Pocketpair was not mentioned by name, but with its sales (we are talking about a record to date beyond eight million) wasn’t even necessary.

Takuro Mizobemanaging director of the development team, previously reiterated that Pocketpair has stood the legal tests of the case.
