Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are seeking an injunction which will block the sale of Palworld, it’s been revealed.
Earlier this year, just days prior to the indie game’s PS5 release, the Mario maker filed a patent lawsuit against developer Pocketpair – and now we have more details about what it entails.
As expected, the Japanese patents the developer is accused of infringing upon revolve around gameplay mechanics, like catching Pokémon in a virtual field and riding on top of them. Both of these systems are present in Palworld, as you use Pal Spheres to nab monsters in the open world, which can then be used as mounts.
