Palworld Update Includes Minor Change to Gameplay In Response to Pokemon Lawsuit

 

In September, Nintendo, the owner of the Pokemon franchise, sued Pocketpair, the makers of the Palworld, claming the much smaller company's game violated multiple patents. Because of some similarities, the game had sometimes been called "Pokemon with guns." Among them was how players summoned their monsters. Players could do so by aiming and throwing "Pal Spheres" to where they desired for them to appear. But after an update in the game a few days ago, this can no longer be done. Instead, summoned creatures will appear right next to the player.

It is unknown if this is the only change in response to the lawsuit, or if there will be others. Nintendo's lawsuit is still going on.

The game was an overnight success, and brought the small indie company millions. But Nintendo wasn't very happy, and recently announced it was filing a lawsuit, saying the game violated a number of patents.
