Palworld Pokemon Company statement

The Pokemon Company just put out a statement about Palworld, which has exploded in popularity this month following its launch.

The game has gained a great deal of popularity, but not always for the right reasons. Some have taken issue with just how similar some creatures in that title are to Pokemon. Some have gone as far as to label it “Pokemon with guns”. Developer Pocketpair has indicated that it isn’t concerned about copyright infringement, but now The Pokemon Company has weighed in.
