Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

try a disappointed sparkit
I'm so behind on Pokemon that I genuinely can't tell if this is a Pokemon or a Pal.
Issa pal
As someone with minimal pokemon knowledge, only played two due to being older and not having Nintendo consoles really, I thought this game was a spin off till I realized no big pokemon or Nintendo logo anywhere. They must have threaded the needle to avoid that copyright infringment.
I don't get how this is news, it's the most predictable, obvious outcome.
Nintendo literally DMCA's hentai artists bro.
One of these days I want to see it go to court just so that the judge and jury has to discuss the legitimacy of sexualized cartoon animals, with the defence forced to keep a straight face as they try to explain why a person banging a goodra with giant jugs in a wedding dress isn't infringing copyright. Just a bunch of professional adults in a room forced to dance around the elephant in the room because it's irrelevant to the case.
Slow news day for games journalism and writers trying to justify their paychecks. Plus, I'd imagine it helps those who were running bets not on if Nintendo would crush it, but how long before they did.
Wow.. didn’t see that coming.. /s
This was expected, concidering it's using copyrighted characters
Fuck Nintendo
Nah, that one's legit. Nintendo does a lot of fucked up claims, but this is a 1 to 1 ripoff of their IP and models.
The mod or Palworld?
The mod. Palworld should be distinct enough in gameplay and monster design that any lawsuit would fail.
And a broken clock is right twice a day. Sure this one is legit, it's still Nintendo's legal department. Just because they're right this time doesn't change anything.
That was fast.
Yeah turns out putting it behind a paywall pisses of Nintendo lmao.
