Pokémon Takes Action Regarding Palworld Game

The Pokémon Company has addressed the controversy surrounding the newly released game, Palworld, which has been referred to as “Pokémon with weapons” by players. Since its release on January 19th, Palworld has gained immense popularity, selling millions of copies. Developed by the Japanese developer Pocket Pair, Palworld is an action and survival game. However, it has faced criticism for its creatures being too similar to the beloved Pokémon franchise.

Pokémon has decided to investigate these allegations and released an official statement on the matter. In a special announcement titled “Inquiries Regarding Games from Other Companies,” published on January 25th, Pokémon did not explicitly mention Palworld but confirmed that they did not grant permission to use “Pokémon intellectual property.” The statement reads: “We have received numerous inquiries regarding a game from another company that was released in January 2024. We did not grant permission to use Pokémon intellectual property in this game.”

Pokémon intends to conduct an investigation into this matter and take appropriate steps to protect their intellectual property rights associated with Pokémon. The company will continue to care for each Pokémon and its world, working to ensure that Pokémon will continue to unite the world in the future.

Reactions to Pokémon’s statement have been mixed. One person remarked, “Now the experts will decide if this is plagiarism, and not everyone will become a home detective.” However, there is concern that the outcome of this case may set an unfavorable precedent.

Pocket Pair has been asked to comment on the situation.
