'Palworld' is a mix of Fortnite and Pokémon. The game's unexpected success raises accusations of imitation throughout the digital world.
The Pokemon Company was silent at first. A week and eight million copies of Palworld sold later, he finally ruled on the resemblance of the pals to his creatures. “We have received many inquiries about another company's game that launched in January 2024,” the company said in a statement. "We have not granted any permission for the use of Pokémon intellectual property or assets in that game"
