The producer of Palworld and CEO of developer Pocketpair, Takuro Mizobe, has reiterated that the Palworld developers “have absolutely no intention of infringing upon the intellectual property of other companies.”
Right from Palworld’s initial reveal, it was dubbed by the internet as 'Pokémon with guns,’ and it’s not hard to see why. Like Pokémon, players are able to capture cute and quirky creatures (known in Palworld as ‘Pals’). Monster-collecting mechanics in games always tend to lead to Pokémon comparisons, but, particularly since Palworld’s launch, some people have criticized the designs of certain Pals, and have pointed out similarities to existing Pokémon designs.
