I bought palworld when it came out and played a bit, I didn't have time to progress much, but I honestly don't see that much similarity for Nintendo to file a lawsuit against them. Monster capture games started with Pokemon, ok, now everything that comes after is plagiarized or copied, but is it any different?
There is a pattern, you battle, weaken, capture, that's it, the same happened with battle royales that started with pubg and then 300 came after it, many similar, others more different, but everything will always follow some logic or pattern, that's how it works.
Yeah, weaking a creature before capturing it isn't something that can be patented, that's how it works in the real world too (old world). :D
I forgot to mention that in palworld you have fucking guns 🤣, the monsters use firearms, it's a real far cry from pokemon or digimon lol. I can't imagine a pikachu with an m4a1 shooting anyone with electric bullets haha
lol yeah, I mentioned that the trainer uses them as can be seen in the video but forgot that the creatures can use them as well. xD
Our "hand guns" are merely visual and just a first iteration of the capturing device, that one can come in many forms and shapes later with professions and beta design!
