Palworld, also known as Pokemon with weapons by many fans, was a huge success when it launched. The game is still in early access and at the time of writing this article already has over 1.5 million current and peak players. However, when you play the game, you will see that it shares many similarities with Pokemon. This has caused existing and prospective players to worry about things like whether it is legal or if Nintendo will sue Pocketpair for stealing or ripping off the players. So if you are worried about it too, don’t worry, we have the answers you are looking for!

Takuro Mizobe, the CEO of Pocketpair, recently had an interview with Automaton Media. In it, he says that Palworld has approved his legal reviews. The CEO also mentions that no action has been taken against it by the other companies. Here is what he had to say:

“We take our games very seriously and have absolutely no intention of infringing on the intellectual property of other companies.”

The main thing he had to say was that he felt that Palworld is more like ARK than Pokemon in terms of gameplay, focusing just as much on the survival aspect as it does on the RPG and monster capturing part.
