Why Pokémon Can NOT Sue PalWorld!  

I been subscribed 🤯

Been done that, will expect you to represent me.

Because of you, I plan on (if my first idea of being a broadcast engineer doesn't work) wanna be a lawyer, because of all your tips!

No i wont

I'm pretty sure palword is based from Japan not the us

I laughed so hard at that

Bro, made me laugh out loud with how serious his face is when he said it. 😂

Pkmn please redirect those tears to dragon quest whom you rip off too

I always knew I'd hear it some day.

Yes I laughed so hard and you know what it totally explain the IP and copyright law perfectly

Lmaoo😂

not really- mario is named after a person who helped nintendo during they're early days

​@@cpusaiyan9623have you ever fucking heard of jokes why do you take everything so serious

it's a joke@@cpusaiyan9623

WHOOSH 🍃💨 that's the sound of the joke flying over your head​@@cpusaiyan9623

And Japan has no fair use laws. So it would be an open and shut case. The fact they haven't done anything is proof they just cant cause it doesn't violate their copyright

I was going to mention as much if by any chance I didn't see a comment beating me to it. 🎉

nintendo had 3 years to sue when they started working on it publicly, i dont think they will sue now somce thet hasnt sued then. they only said that theyll "look into it" just to tell people to stop pestering them about the game

If they didn't sue Digimon. They won't sue palworld

I've heard a reason that the Pokémon company said they might sue Pal World is so they can get the fans stop talking about it and move on.

This comment aged like a fine wine.

Legit the comment above you 😂

😂😂😂

Guilty

yep

Why would they do that? Now they have made millions of dollars this is the perfect time for Nintendo to sue and they will. The game is making money because it’s a Pokémon clone.

@@double_joseph327 it just isn’t a clone of Pokémon tho is it Tell me what gameplay aspects not the designs the gameplay aspects that is copyrighted There isn’t any that’s the issue, it’s a Pokémon ark Conan exiles combination game it takes inspiration and makes it well, it’s doing something Pokémon can’t Making a fun game that isn’t just a clone of its previous games

Thats actually what they mean tbh palworld wouldve been stomped 1/2y ago if it did any copyright infringement also both companies are japanese theyll 100% settle it there

yup, it's the fanboys hyperventilating that competition exists.

Lots of losers in this world, beta males crying over Pokémon, pathetic.

Please keep emailing them 🙏

Pretty much. The official statement was basically just to get people to calm down

IT's wild that internet dudes think they need to take up for a multimillion dollar company. They can handle themselves.

They oughta redirect those tears to dragon quest whom they ripped off

That wasn’t even Nintendo, it was TPC

the monsters are copies of Pokemon

whar happened?

@@theominouspigeon Nintendo filed the lawsuit today :D But it was for patent infringement, not copyright

F

Bro i watched this and a day after nintendo sued them. The timing is crazy for me bro.

Not really. His points stand. Nintendo filed a suit, but it doesn't mean they will win it. The arguments he mentioned can actually make the judge unable to rule in favor of Nintendo.

not enough people actually understand the gameplay is copied off of ark

​@@MaToEL1985FR I played ark and I 100% agree that palworld plays more like ark rather than pokemon like lol the gameplay btw the two games arent even relatively close all thisnosnjust a bunch of sweaty nintendo nerds being defensive

Nahhh it's not that buggy as ark it's both great but I like ark more

Finally someone with sense! It's exactly like ark survival. Just changed the dinos for pokemons

It is a ark copy because ark had the pokemon mod first

They're happy they finally have competition

@@peterandleestudios2023 I agree with the OP. But no. Palworld is not competition. Not by a long shot. It is a completely different genre. And there are so many games like pokemon. Palworld is not competition.

Are you saying it's different from legends arceus? ​@iceman3317

@@Straight_White_Fatherly_Figureyes, it is VERY different from legends arceus...

Unfortunately, this would be a domestic Japanese case, and Japan's trademark law is whack

No, parody is considered to be a form of expression. This means if you make a funny youtube video parody of your favorite characters that’s fine. But if you can’t actively seek to make money off of it. The real problem for Nintendo is what mike said, it’s gonna be really hard for them to actually make any money off of suing them and it’s financialy better for them to leave it alone.

@@mattb.5749 You absolutely can make money off of a parody in the US, im not sure what you're on about. You can't in Japan though.

Except Lucario is actually based on anubis? I don't see why him being designed in Japan has anything to do with what inspired him.

@@ToyBonBoy i think the point is anubis in palworld is more inspired by the god and lucario in pokemon is an aura dog with design inspirations from anubis it isnt literally anubis like anubis in palworld is trying to be making the comparison between them a stretch

IT'S LOOKS LIKE IT WHO'D BE A REGIONAL FORM

@@ToyBonBoy Because nintendo does not own rights to an ancient egyptian god who was invented by ancient egyptians. So everyone can take this god images and use in their art, for example pal world

oh god 💀

Because it’ll get him views

For the clickbait'. Only 1 of these reasons matter, and 2 is false

This video was just lazy. Japan has very complicated and strict copyright laws, and the fact that both of these companies are in Japan means palworld is violating none of those laws. Palworld never claimed to be Pokémon, and the two games are so different that they can never be thought of as competing for the same audience. That’s basically it, Japan allows parodies as long as the gameplay is different enough

@@Blaze-cr2iui mean fair enough, i respect the grind

@@julianfalken8861 who wouldn't make something to do with Palworld as content, it's all people can talk about despite already having lost roughly 70% of its players. Shit Palworld took more than just designs lol, they also took the inability to make a proper game that doesn't bug out in 3 years. Lookin like Scarlet and Violet with its bugs and glitches that put you through the map, considering you can sometimes spawn under the map. 3 years of development and we still have bugs and glitches that can prevent gameplay.

*real n true.*

Ha ha minigun go BRRRRT

That wouldn’t be the reason if they got sued though, the reason would be the blatant copying of their designs and even other designs from many other games, I guess they don’t really have an imagination to create unique designs lol, and also they can easily sue palworld as they are both not based in the US, I think they just don’t care, there has been many shows and games like Pokemon and they didn’t care either, pokemon fans are just annoyed because they didn’t grow up with this game like the other pokemon like games, Palworld is still a great game to play despite the huge amount of game breaking bugs they actually make it even fun to laugh at the amount of random stuff that happens, especially with friends, though I do hope they will change their designs to be actually unique and not blatant copies and even some being basically reskins of other stuff

​@@bigblockman11This reminds me of Dani.

I mean Pokemon >>> Palworld anyway

@@ashboi341 I respect your opinion. No matter how incorrect it is.

Digimon had more originality

@@TheRunoben a show about monsters that follow around a young companion, that have elemental abilities, evolutions and mon in the name of course their not exactly the same and neither is palworld but they do have similarities of style or ideas

​@TheRunoben tbh Pokémon ripped off Digimon with the Mega evolutions (though it's arguably the best gimmick Pokémon ever had).

@@Bludobi9001 they didn’t tho because they use their own characters not only that, but digimon has no room to speak

@@nomed_0862 not when the monsters are literally Pokémon monsters at home similarities is one thing this is a straight copy lol

Yea and it's also pretty fun so if anyone actually wanted them to sue, they probably never even played the game and I personally like it because I can play a game that is similar to pokemon on a console other than a Nintendo, especially since I mostly play on Xbox

This argument doesn’t hold up. Half of the pals being mentioned don’t have animal inspirations that they have copied, they just straight up took proportions from Pokémon. Verdash has the exact same proportions as cinderace with a few deviations like the tail and head ornament. Anubis literally just took lucarios face same with dinossom and meganium. With the examples I just mentioned this argument just doesn’t hold up.

Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town literally took most of Stardew Valley's Mechanics...

​@@unorganizedchaos5503So youre saying digimon should sue pokemon for unfair use of their property too?

​@@Joualboambrthey look nothing alike tho you arguement is so unvalid two diffrent concepts the pokemone dont resemble the digimon at all this game they look like they just added one more thing to them plus a building feature

@@firefly8188 well palworld is literally creadted by less than 20 people in which some are middle schoolers who like animations and some are passouts. But it was fuc*ing awesome game.. I CAN ALSO SUE POKEMON FOR MAKING MY DOG INTO LYCANROC. ARE YOU ASKING WHAT ARE SIMILARITIES??? IT HAS FOUR LEGS, IS THIS NOT ENOUGH

I remember reading somewhere recently (I don't remember where exactly) that said that, when it come to the Pokémon games, Nintendo's stance on infringement is 'whether or not a game's code is copied or taken from an official game'. (I believe the same goes for assets as well) Basically, I think Nintendo could only really do something to Palworld if they had either code or assets that were directly ripped from one of their games.

They want the competition

@@peterandleestudios2023do they though? And why?

@@ShadowPhoenix-ui1kq i asked how Nintendo WANTS competition, not how/why Palworlds is better. Also, those are opinions.

@@aubarlowepal world players are more likely to try Pokémon after playing.. I don’t know why people are acting like pal world is a huge loss to nintendos pockets.. most of the time people aren’t going to be playing one or the other

actually there is no point, nintendon't aint suing.

​@@ArthurianFablesYou had to jynx it, didn't you

@@STORMB999 their lawsuit is gonna get laughed out of the courthouse. and even if, by the grace of some major corruption, they win, its gonna be stricken down in a later date because its a bad taste joke that would literally make it impossible to make video games.

@@ArthurianFables Nintendo has some serious power in Japan. They've won most, if not all, cases where they sued. While I agree that this case is a bad joke because some of the patents were filed after Palworlds release, I'm not sure some judge will want to side against Nintendo.

@@STORMB999 thats why I said that even if some corrupt judge gives them the win at first, later on its gonna be dismissed. dude, these patents are so abusive that no sane publisher/developer is gonna release their game in japan. they would either have to pay nintendo a fee or get sued. theres no way these patents are gonna stand.

Good thing he said it depends on what country they use in

Mike's in the USA and is using USA law.

@@Bruh_Moment.. and then said palworld is American

@@lapiswolf2780 which has nothing Todo with what he's talking about and makes no sense with what he said he said between Nintendo in Japan and palworld in America

​@@livingglowstick1337Mike said it's multinational, so Nintendo would have to choose which country to sue in. As Mike has experience in us law he said his thoughts on of they chose us law

nintendo knew about this game for years, sueing now will cause so much trouble that could've been avoided had they sued before release.

Then palworld just won't be available In Japan, most of its player base is in the west anyway

@nanoblast5748 god, when I hear that argument, I age another decade. Because I feel like people have forgotten that Nintendo instantly jumping down someone's throat with lawyers is a new thing. More than likely, Nintendo was waiting before doing something in order to have a stronger case.

Both companies are Japanese and Japan has NO fair use laws, None. If Nintendo could sue them they would've on launch or years ago when the game was announced

Palworld is aware of the laws because they are also japanese

I name my pals after digimon. Only exception is ragnahawk being named alysrazor

This! All the palworld devs gotta do is change up the plagiarized ones and then it’s smooth sailing.

​@@low-key-tonyi mean the issue is on the players, not the game. They are not legally obligated to change anything just because most of their players named it using pokemon names. Let say they did plagiarized things just like you said, Nintendo cease and desist would have been public now.

Digimon! Haven't heard that in some time.

I think that’s all they’ll do. Request some design changes. Especially the more obvious ones, and leave it at that.

Nintendo Is obsessed for this shit

What are you talking about? Of course nintendo cares, they want to stomp on each and every single ROM hack and tourment they can find.

@@Thatonefuckinguyas they should

​@@SirIsaac04as they shouldnt

​@@SirIsaac04As they shouldn't

Badly

as Mike stated "Probably". will age badly if they win so lets see what will happen

​@@kujii_6606 looking at the suit they are probably going to win. They had 7 months to collect evidence. The fact their previous games aren't finished and known for asset flipping doesn't help.

Soon we will see a new Pokémon open world game very similar to PAL World?

Pokémon Legends existed long before Palworld.

It's a cat not a mouse. And look at some digimon that came out before pokemon did it like a cave man green monkey digimon (Grookey), a black hell dog digimon (houndoom)

Witch I wouldn't mind at all. They could develop Palworld more toward that 'adult' content while keeping Pokemon more child friendly.

I don't think they'll sue at all tbh, at least not currently. But yeah, when Palworld eventually became a market threat, I think they might just consider buying it, rather than spending money time and energy for a lawsuut.

AHAHAHA

it doesn’t help Nintendo as well that Shin Megami Tensei came into existence before Pokemon did

I mean square enix should probably leave nintendo alone since they did let multiple characters in ssbu as well as games on their consoles

actually the lawsuit is pretty clear about it being "numerous patents". Palworld devs are screwed

If Digimon can do it palworld can

This should be top comment, Nintendo meatriders just can't think logically

@@hizzy808digimon actually did shit to differentiate from Pokémon, Pokémon literally can’t sue digimon because there are literally no designs that are relatively similar to Pokémon.

Actually you’re wrong there’s so many creatures designs that have elements combined to them yet don’t look alike even then if you look at certain pals and Pokémon and compare them a lot of them look similar.

@@andreamaral9725 they are it’s plagiarism any sane person can see that if pal world wasn’t good y’all would be agreeing with them.

It didn't make pals look like pokemon, it made the pals pokemon. Different thing.

Nintendo cant do anything ok They can Sue but They would probably lose and The only reason why They could Take down The Mod was because it literally changed The pals to Look Like actual Pokémon Like The Mod Changed The Character model for a PAL to lucario and obviously Nintendo can Sue that Mod but If it comes to The unmodded Game They cant do much

​@@aython9399Have you ever heard of a thing called a "sentence"?

@@therobbu yes i have but sry that english isnt my Native language

@@aython9399actually I think the Pokémon company wouldn’t be the only one trying to sue palworld as you can see it has building mechanics that are very similar to Fortnite/epic games and the boss battle mechanics are very similar to monster hunter world and the way the world is set up it’s very similar to ark so yeah I feel like palworld would get a lot of sues this year

Pretty sure they already tried to sue digimon but lost horribly

w8 they tried to sue digimon?!

@@ianrafaelabenido5453 That is misinformation. They never sued them BECAUSE they would have lost horribly.

@@greendayrocksmuch No they did not.

They never tried to sue Digimon because there wasn't anything to sue them over. The two even came out around the same time, only being one year apart. Even then, they mostly existed in different genres, as Digimon was mostly Tamagotchi for boys.

I'm ashamed I know which one you're talking about.

​@@gardenerofthesunhe might be sitting on the toilet seat Its completely weird of you to assume he would shit inhis pants

Actually they couldn't even do that, so long as those mods aren't for profit. At least in US law.

​@@sauronsrighthandman301if I'm not mistaken, Nintendo already has a history of taking down mod

@@cucuawe465 Most people take down their mods from the threat of legal action. Legally, Nintendo can't actually do anything, but most people cave under the threat of an actual legal battle. And who wants that sort of stress and potential financial strain caused by a mod that isn't even making money? They could potentially take legal action if someone was making mods for their games. But Palworld isn't their IP, so they can't take action on behalf of the Palworld devs. It would be up to devs to do so. The best they could do is send the mod maker a cease and desist that doesn't actually have any real legal backing. (Even if they did, the case could be thrown out since games like Garry's mod has those sorts of mods and Nintendo does nothing in spite of Garry's mod being absurdly popular.)

I wonder if that company was basically totalitarian regime masking as a video game company...

@@sauronsrighthandman301so you already forgot how Nintendo has struck down mods multiple times.

Digimon use guns not pokemon

And these day’s people won’t speak on a problem because something is good and fun.

Yes and Nintendo told them to make the pals completely different so they don't mistake it for pokemon and they did not make them different

Nintendo had them delete 8 pals and thought they would listen to the dont make pals like pokemom thing, instead they chose to literally steal assets from pokemon models

​@@riolu477you have the attention span of a fish with dementia

@@riolu477 they didn't steal assets. Palworld has lawyers of their own watching their every move to make sure the devs don't add something that upsets Nintendo. Stealing assets would defeat the purpose of having said lawyers. They were INSPIRED by their assets. Inspired and stealing are two different things. The whole stealing assets post on twitter was faked because the person who posted the tweet purposely scaled the models to fit Nintendo's models. The same person has stated they did what they did because the game promotes "animal cruelty". Stop using twitter posts as evidence of anything.

@@maizystar666 both reusing parts of models and completely recreating parts of models is considered the stealing of assets, theres a pal that copies the face of a ghost type not just how the face looks, but down to the color scheme, you can only claim inspiration for so much before it becomes suspicious, someone made a tier list about pals by their probability of nintendo acting because of them

The only update is the slight reskin with each Pokémon game.

the monster designs are copies

@@TheRunoben There's like three monster designs that could be reasonably seen as copies. Out of 111.

@@lunasakara7306 That's what I'm sayin!

Gamefreak when they see other companies making cooler stuff than they did

Just bought it because of the lawsuit and yeah after playing for a couple of hours you hit it right on the head. It is significantly more like ARK than Pokemon

I think it has to do with the fact that Steam is the distributor, thus Valve would have to be involved, which means having a court case in I think Washington. I think that was the issue with the Nexon/IronMace IP case last year over the Dark and Darker game, since I know that part of that case was in the US courts until it was withdrawn from the Store and a judge dismissed the US part to be handled in S. Korean courts. That's the other thing, if Valve want to hold on to PalWorld, Nintendo would be forced to filed at least part of the case in the US. I don't think Nintendo will actually sue simply because it may drag Bandai Namco, WiZ, and Square into the mess because of the fact that they are a bunch of Pokemon that share resemblances to Digimon (although that does go both ways) and Dragon Quest monsters.

​@@mekadethcourts ruled that America has no jurisdiction over Dark and Darker. It's a Korea only battle. Same applies here.

Ik ppl are dumb TRUST me I'm super positive that Nintendo do is watching palworld like a hawk

Why woudnt they.. that's a literal person making a mod with their assets without even changing atleast a single monb😂

Also if Nintendo really wanted to sue them they'd have done it faster why do you think Nintendo would be this merciful??
