While Nintendo might've found a way to bring Pocketpair to court over patents it arguably shouldn't have been awarded in the first place, it's telling that even its military-grade legal hit squad didn't try to nail Palworld for its Pokemon knockoffery. But while I'll defend Palworld's legal right to pretend Dinossom isn't just Lilligant's flower and Meganium's face stapled to a green Goodra body, that doesn't make it any less grimy.
This week, however, Palworld has found itself on the other side of the sincerest form of flattery: Allow me to introduce Palland, a shameless attempt to fool anyone who only has the patience to read the first three letters of a game title and a particularly egregious example of the kind of slop Nintendo is content to let fester on the Switch store (via Kotaku).
