Palworld lead shoots down legal concerns following Pokemon comparisons: "We have absolutely no intention of infringing upon the intellectual property of other companies"

Palworld.

Since Palworld arrived on the scene, the Pokemon comparisons have come thick and fast, but the developer isn't worried about any legal fallout.  

Palworld has been a runaway success for developer Pocketpair, selling two million copies in a single day across PC and Xbox, and clocking up over 1,000,000 concurrent players on Steam. In it, players collect and raise cute creatures called Pals, which, in addition to battling by your side, can help you gather resources, construct buildings, and tend to your crops. But while the skillset of these pocket monsters is more diverse than those found in the Pokemon series, their designs have earned Palworld the nickname 'Pokemon with Guns' and also raised concerns over potential copyright infringement.
