The official statement presumably comes after numerous reports made by gamers and observers to The Pok\u00e9mon Company, which has found itself ‘forced’ to react publicly. The statement carefully avoids mentioning Palworld directly, stating, “We have received many requests for information regarding a game released by another company in January 2024.” The company emphasizes that it has not given permission for the use of Pok\u00e9mon intellectual property or assets in that game and intends to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that violate Pok\u00e9mon’s intellectual property rights. Despite the accusations, it has not been proven that Pocketpair, the developer of Palworld, has stolen assets or violated anyone’s copyright. The opinions of analysts and social media accounts attempting to demonstrate alleged similarities are not sufficient evidence for The Pok\u00e9mon Company to sue the studio. As known, The Pok\u00e9mon Company is extremely protective of its IP, and if there were any legal leeway, Palworld would not have been released, like many mods or fan games that preceded it. For example, a recently discussed Pok\u00e9mon-themed mod for Palworld has already been removed at the request of The Pok\u00e9mon Company’s lawyers. For now, the answer remains no. It is uncertain what might emerge from a thorough investigation, which could give The Pok\u00e9mon Company legal grounds to prevent the game’s sale or to reach some other compromise between the parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
