Nintendo and The Pokémon Company filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair in Japan last year, alleging that Palworld infringes on three patents that are related to monster catching gameplay, including summoning Pals by throwing Pal Spheres, and using Pals as vehicles like gliders.

Indication of how protective vs aggressive Nintendo uses it's patents.

How similar vs novel do you feel pal world is to Pokemon?
