Now, The Pokemon Company has decided to say something, though it’s not a whole lot.
The statement closes with the interestingly phrased line: “We will continue to cherish and nurture each and every Pokemon and its world, and work to bring the world together through Pokemon in the future.”
That said, if you’re planning on making or showcasing any Pokemon-themed mods for Palworld, you can probably expect some attention from the companies behind the former.
So, to recap, all that The Pokemon Company’s done here – without mentioning Palworld by name – is confirm that it’s aware of the game’s existence, is planning to investigate whether any aspects of it actually infringe on Pokemon IP, and will likely take action against Palworld if it finds it has reason to.
