Palworld The developer Pocketpair admitted that he had to make changes in his game in response to a patent claim for, for example, Nintendo and Pokémon Company-i pointed out that more of these changes were coming.

In the blog on the blog entitled “In relation to the trial, changes in Palworld and the future” on Thursday, Pocketpair confirmed that the removal of the mechanic throwing the ball to recall buddies in November 2024. It was the result of a ongoing court dispute. Then it was found that the upcoming patch would force the utilize of a gliding glider element, which would no longer be possible in the case of buddies – also a compromise forced by a lawsuit.

Despite the start of your post, apologizing to the fans for the inability to “fully transparent” during the dispute, Pocketpair hit them crushed, I’m not in the purchase of a tone. He did not try to dress as positive, he honestly confessed to their disappointment and confirmed the “nullity” of Nintendo and Pokémon Company patents.

“We are currently involved in prolonged court proceedings regarding the alleged violation of the patent. We still question these claims and annul the patents’ data,” said Pocketpair. “However, we had some compromises to avoid disturbances in the field of development and distribution Palworld. “

Palworld. “

Nintendo and the Pokémon Company claim claims Palworld It violates several patents that have a Pokémon game gameplay. (The lawsuit does not apply to the visual design of buddies, despite the fact that many observers claim that they have a striking resemblance to some Pokémon.) The nature of the patents was initially unclear, but the research and subsequent statement of Pocketpair confirmed that related to the catching and release of Pokémon using Poké balls and riding Pokémon.
