“Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Pocketpair in Tokyo. Pocketpair is the Japanese video game developer behind Palworld, a game people have been describing as a Pokemon parody, featuring cute gun-toting monsters. … While Palworld‘s monsters would look familiar to Pokemon fans, it takes on a darker tone. You can choose to play as a friend to the monsters known as ‘Pals’ and fight off the poachers trying to kill them. But you can also kill and eat Pals, make them fight to the death and even sell them into slavery.” (09/18/24)
