The future of Palworld might be in jeopardy after all. After so long without any repercussions, we believed the monster wrangling game safe, but it seems The Pokémon Company was only biding its time.

The Nintendo president has finally addressed the swirling mass of rumours, confirming that “actions will be taken”.

What these actions entail hasn’t been specified beyond the need to appropriately deal with brands that “infringe our [Nintendo] intellectual property rights”.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Was wondering how long it would take them...lol

Nintendo Ninjas, ASSEMBLE!

It's all fun and games until you sell 12 million copies.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Palworld…

 

[Mister Wolf]

Time to scoop up all the gold that Palworld collected.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

I still haven't found a comprehensible explanation as to on what legal ground exactly Nintendo has anything on their hands against them?

They should have created their own monsters and the game would have done equally good at sales.

 

[Kilau]

There is no source, just a quote that has no link. This a legit story?

Honestly me either in the grand scheme of things. Palword absolutely aped a bunch of the Pokemon designs for their pals, but I don't know if they are similar enough for Nintendo to really do anything legally about it. "Actions will be taken" could still be nothing but talk so I guess we'll see.

This is the actual quote:

This was revealed during an interview with Reuters JP, when Nintendo’s current CEO revealed that they will “take appropriate action against those that infringe our intellectual property rights.”

Sorry Draugoth but this rumor is just another fart in the wind. The exact words are basically a generic non-answer.

Fuck Nintendo, hope they get nothing from this

Fake news by the article makers then, i will ask the mods to delete this.

 

[Rockondevil]

Nintendo coming for their Mewtwo Y.

I do hope Nintendo doesn't take everything from them. Maybe Nintendo should try to take them on and ditch GameFreak.

 

[Mr Moose]

Clickbait.

What was actually said:
In a Q&A session after its latest earnings call (via Reuters), Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa was questioned about the Palworld controversy. Without naming the game in particular, just like the earlier statement, Furukawa said, "We will take appropriate action against those that infringe our intellectual property rights."
Edit: Beaten.

 

[Bernkastel]

I don't know how much I can trust her word on this.
Her article starts with this

And she expects us to believe this without a source

 

[Kacho]

Seems fake. They dont even name the "Nintendo President" which I found really odd

 

[Ronin_7]

Game already collapsed on Steam.

 

[gothmog]

I doubt the source but I would love it if Nintendo decided to fight by actually taking the phenomenon to heart. The masses want new and different Pokemon experiences.

 

[Azelover]

He doesn't specify. I don't think there's anything they can do at this point.
