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!

You mention in number 4 reminded me of this lawsuit between street fighters and king of fighters Capcom claimed that the characters were copying their characters and even stole the same moves Judge said you don't own the rights to fight move especially when street fighter was using marshel arts which the moves are under public domain

No i wont

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

might be sponsored

​@@CGNDCit's illegal to advertise a game you were sponsored to advertise without disclosing the fact it's advertise, I'm pretty sure a lawyer would be fully aware of that.

@@tekk.0410 depends on the agreement.

@@CGNDC nope, legal agreements don’t suddenly override laws, IF this video was sponsored he’s legally required to disclose that, if he was asked to REVIEW the game then it’s different

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.

Yeah, there was a game that ACTUALLY copied Pokémon and it got taken down the day of release. If palworld copied anything, Nintendo would’ve sent them to the shadow realm by now

​@@kalebgamez808Funny thing is, there's a literal Pokémon mod on Palworld and they took it down yet left Palworld untouched. So it's safe to say Nintendo isn't gonna sue Palworld.

​@@progmrz5512yeah we get it don't spam

They 100% will still sue if or when they have the chance

​@@Zac2241but they had 3 years to find dirt and sue, they ain't touching Palworld ever...

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.

oh god 💀

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

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

@@nagisa3523 poke balls

@@double_joseph327 a sphere Ngl you’ve got me there a sphere been copyrighted 😔

@@nagisa3523 I mean the base UI of the game literally looks like "Legends Arceus" but glaze palworld more i guess. lmao

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

like quit rubbing it in our face we don't care

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 🙏

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

Nah Fr bro

Seems to be a thing with most games, bg3 included, by no means a bad game but popularity comes and goes, what matters is finding what makes you happy, or for the developers, not caring about popularity and focus on fun

Its a panel of experts that do the analysis and the judge is just the decision maker. Besides, this kind of thing happens all the time when it comes to IP.

​@@DemoNinja79 it's just a funny image with pokemon specifically

@@DemoNinja79does this mean I could become an “expert” in the lawsuit…? 😮

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...

I want to sue them imagining playing this animal abuse game

why does this comment not have more likes

This means there’s a chance he plays competitively

@@Saxxy_Mann Maybe, or at least he did, or know someone who does.

@@Saxxy_MannI’ve barely ever played Smash in my life, but I still know the lore… 😅 I used to play it at my cousin’s here and there, but it was never a great experience. It’s really one of those games you have to own yourself and practice a ton before you have any meaningful control over your character, unfortunately

10/10 edit

Tho people might hate it, the animals are awfully like the pokemons in the games, if nintendo wins I honestly wouldn't be suprise

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.

​@@yaoiboi60 where is palworld based in?

dude in unite theres a anubis skin of lucario. COMPARE THOSE

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

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.

"Sir, the Nintendo lawsuit hit the 3594th game."

BRO

Wild as fuck

Dude 💀😂

That joke is a bit dark man

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

Are they actually adding that?

@@nergigante3514 yeah they pulled a cult of the lambs and announced they ""might"" at 100k followers. they got like 500k I think. The sex is supposedly between pal and human, soooo

@@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).

@@Bludgeta9001 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

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

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

I agree with you totally, but that was an international settlement, within Japan that might not even matter. Still dont' think they will sue though, because of bad publicity. I don't think Palworld copied any assets either, like you said you can't copyright an idea

actually as far as i know palword has copied some of the textures of some pokemon and added in the pals ​@@psixi7230

wsp i like your pfp

@@psixi7230pretty sure one of the models of a pal is identical to a Pokemon’s hair

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

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)

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

If I google this and it’s Lovander I’m gonna shit

But like judges don't know shit about video games. is there like a gaming judge for these cases lol

​@@Karina4NewsSo, uhm... How's your pants?

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

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

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.

Digimon use guns not pokemon

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

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.

Ah yes, the animals look like animals!

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

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.

@@CrizzyEyes there is more this is Pokémon at home

And yet that argument dosnt stand at all especially when they don't even look similar at all dq has a bird creature pokemon created their own bird dqf oh no how dare pokemon creat a bird they definitely stole that from dq

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

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
