I mean, there's like a mechanic where you throw the spheres, right? And this is a very obvious, in your face system [that’s very much like Pokémon]. But I think that it will be a lot more technical than this. Nintendo would have dug through every single action inside the game, they would have probably reverse engineered it, and just find ways to sue these guys.

You can bet your life that Nintendo hates this company, and they couldn't find an angle with the character designs. This is why they are not mentioned in their press release. So they come with these technical peculiarities. So I personally believe, if you act like this, you can sue like 90 percent of the game developers in the world. I'm sure there's like thousands of games that have a confirmation screen when you go from sleep mode to resuming the game right, but if you basically trigger the wrath of Nintendo, they will come after you.

404: So I’m not accusing Nintend of being a patent troll, but this is kind of patent troll behavior in the sense that they have a patent for something they can accuse many companies of using, but they are targeting Palworld because they’re mad about the similarities to Pokémon and because it made a lot of money?

Yes, and this is what the big companies do, right? If you make them angry, they spit in your bowl. They will always find a way. They have an army of lawyers, and with decades of experience, they will spit in your bowl.
