PC Gaming

If Palworld devs were as petty as I am they'd probably make a Pal that looks like an obese and hostile Pikachu with a Mario hat.

• Name: Renjiyu / レンヂユ; after a really shitty Mandarin joke with Nintendo's name (basically calling it hell's company).
• It would make a noise that sounds a lot like uttaeru / 訴える "to sue, to complain" with an incredibly whiny voice
• Drop: meat and sulphur (the in-game sulphur looks a lot like fool's gold)
• "Utility": when it's running around your base, Renjiyu makes your pals drop whatever they are doing to listen to its ramblings. As in, negative utility.

Bonus points if the logo in the hat resembles a pokeball from a distance.

This game is still in early access so I hope this is only temporary and they will retool this to not be similar to Pokemon. There's no way this will be final right...?? No summon animation at all??!

Worried what this means for Nexomon 3

Lame. Thanks, Nintendo. Got forbid you actually try to outcompete.

These primarily cover throwing an object in a specific direction to either summon a battle character or to capture a creature in the field - mechanics Palworld shared with Pokémon at launch.

sounds like a mechanic found in a number of video games.

What a sad sad outcome. Patenting game mechanics should not be legal.

Make it so you launch the ball thing from a sling shot, that's not throwing the object and it fits the universe

It’s a shame the Wii U didn’t bankrupt Nintendo.

So fucking stupid. I remember a time when Nintendo was constantly losing legal battles like this one.

make it so you shoot them out with a gun
