Pocketpair has responded to Nintendo filing a lawsuit over Palworld.Last night (September 18) Nintendo and The Pokémon Company shared a joint statement announcing that they had filed a lawsuit against Palworld developers Pocketpair. Palworld was first teased back in 2021 and quickly became known as “Pokémon with guns”.

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have revealed that they are suing Palworld, alleging the game “infringes multiple patent rights”.Palworld has long been dubbed “Pokémon with guns” due to it being a creature capture game with many monsters that look similar to iconic Pokémon designs, but it was noted on release that its gameplay differs greatly and is more comparable to a survival game like Ark.When the game released back in January, The Pokémon Company stated it intended “to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to the Pokémon.” NME has reached out to Nintendo for comment.Nintendo and The Pokémon Company’s statement revealed they were filing “a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court” against Palworld developer Pocketpair, and that the lawsuit “seeks an injunction against infringement and compensation for damages on the grounds that Palworld, a game developed and released by the Defendant, infringes multiple patent rights.” NME has reached out to Pocketpair for comment.As for why Palworld is only being sued now – almost nine months after Nintendo claimed it would start an investigation – a company representative told Game File: “We filed the lawsuit at this timing after careful investigation of the content that is the subject of this lawsuit. We will refrain from commenting on topics that relate to the content of the lawsuit.”In January, a former Pokémon legal boss, Don McGowan, said of Palworld, “This looks like the usual ripoff nonsense that I would see a thousand times a year when I was chief legal officer of Pokémon.

Elden Ring turns the Shadow Of The Erdtree expansion into a Pokémon game.Available via Nexus Mods, the DLC Summon Bosses Mod allows players to call on fallen enemy bosses to help them out in future battles, which is similar to how all battles in Pokémon operate.“This mod includes 11 bosses of the Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree to be summoned in as spirit ashes and has all of the stages included,” reads the description, while creator FlippantTunic22 has also promised to include all the base game’s bosses in a future mod.A video showing the power of the mod was uploaded to YouTube last week, and has already racked up over 16,000 views.Other mods for Elden Ring have also been released in recent weeks. The work-in-progress Graceborne: Bloodborne Inspired Overhaul mod sees creator Noctis adding a Bloodborne filter to the expansive Elden Ring, in a bid to turn the game “into a more grim and sinister experience.” On the other end of the gothic horror scale, the Patches- Consort of Miyazaki mod swaps out Shadow Of The Erdtree’s final boss for Elden Ring creator Hidetaka Miyazaki riding trickster NPC Patches (via VG247).The modding scene around Elden Ring is only set to get more inventive as well, after it was confirmed Shadow Of The Erdtree was the first and only expansion for the game.However, Game Of Thrones author George R.R.

Pokémon has won April Fools’ day 2024 by announcing a Champion Tournament for Sleep.Released in July 2023, Pokémon Sleep is a sleep-tracking app that rewards users with different Pokémon, depending on the quality and length of their sleep. “Playing this game is simple: just place your smartphone by your pillow, then go to sleep,” reads an official description.However, to celebrate April Fools’ day, Pokémon has released a four-minute video, showcasing a championship tournament for the game.Featuring an arena full of screaming fans holding up signs saying “good night” and “sweet dreams”, the contest is hosted by Kenny Mattress and Chris Pillow who provide live play-by-play coverage of an “unprecedented shut-eye scrimmage”.Taking place over eight-and-a-half-hours, the Sleep tournament rewards players for speed of slumber, sleep rhythm and “all around sleep style artistry”.The contest starts with a number of Sleep players entering booths and preparing themselves for a “serious night of non-stop sleep” via lullabies, comfy pyjamas and reading an overly complex book.

Nintendo has confirmed the release of Pokémon Legends Z-A, which is due 2025.The announcement came yesterday as part of the annual Pokémon Day celebrations and despite The Pokémon Company confirming it had several “exciting” plans, it still took fans by surprise for a number of reasons.Not only had Game Freak been hinting at a remake of Pokémon Black & White following the success of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl in 2021 but Nintendo had never confirmed that Legends: Arceus was anything more than a standalone title.However, Pokémon Legends Z-A is due for release some time in 2025 and will take players back to the Parisian-inspired central city of Pokémon X & Pokémon Y.“A new adventure awaits within Lumiose City, where an urban redevelopment plan is under way to shape the city into a place that belongs to both people and Pokémon,” said the official description, with the trailer also hinting at the return of fan-favourite feature mega-evolutions, which haven’t been used since 2014’s Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.While Arceus took players back in time to a very early version of the Sinnoh region, known as Hisui, the futuristic look of Lumiose City has fans speculating that Z-A will see them time travelling into the near future.The Pokémon set to feature in Z-A have yet to revealed, but the trailer leans heavily on generation six with Aegislash, Litleo, Pyroar, Klefki, Talonflame, Furfrou, Gogoat, Fletchling, Sylveon, Espurr, Flabébé and Hawlucha all showcased, alongside a lot of Pikachu action.

The Pokémon Company has released a statement promising to “investigate” any and all titles that infringe on their intellectual property rights following the release of Palworld earlier this month.Developed by Pocketpair, Palworld tasks players with using a variety of creatures known as Pals to build, fight or collect.Since it was announced, the survival game has been compared to Pokémon with creators telling NME: “We were surprised by the comparisons to be honest, especially those labeling it as ‘Pokémon with guns’. Pokémon definitely inspired us, but Palworld is far more action-orientated in comparison.”They went on to say they were more inspired by the likes of Rust, Minecraft and ARK: Survival Evolved.Earlier this week, an unofficial Pokémon mod was revealed for Palworld but footage was quickly taken down due to a Nintendo copyright strike.

Palworld has sold five million copies in three days, despite increasing concern over potential AI use in the game.The title launched in early access on January 19, and since then, it has shot up in Steam charts to the point it had more concurrent players than games such as Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Call Of Duty.Those users don’t include the number of players who are playing the game through the Xbox Game Pass release, and neither do the five million copies sold, meaning that the actual total number of people who have downloaded the game and played it could be much higher.The conversation around Palworld, however, isn’t focused on sales. It’s instead focused on similarities that beasts in the game have to popular Pokemon characters, and the fact that the company openly released a title in early access last year named AI: Art Imposter which uses artificial intelligence in gameplay to generate images.Several posts have circulated on X (formerly Twitter) showing similarities between Pokemon creatures and Palworld creatures, with previous comments from the CEO of Pocketpair discussing AI art, and specifically how to use AI art in order to create new Pokemon, leading people to wonder if the game used the technique at all.There’s currently no confirmation as to whether or not there’s any credibility behind these claims, however.

Pokémon card will no longer be available as a result of scalpers causing “safety and security” concerns.The ‘Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat’ card is inspired by one of Vincent Van Gogh’s self portraits and was a part of the collaboration between The Van Gogh Museum and The Pokémon Company.Purchases of the special Van Gogh and Pokémon collection came with a free Van Gogh Pikachu card, however, scalpers descended on the museum once the event went live to re-sell the card for hundreds of dollars online.The Pokémon x Van Gogh collaboration was a disaster, serving as a stark reminder of human greed and lust.

Nintendo “gigaleak” back in 2020, which saw a vast amount of stolen data leaked onto the internet including prototype versions of classic Nintendo titles and N64 games, Nintendo has suggested it increased its security measures to prevent anything similar happening in the future.The massive data breach saw titles such as Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Yoshi’s Island and even some unreleased titles leaked onto the internet.It also reportedly contained confidential internal documentation regarding Nintendo DS, Wii and the China-exclusive iQue amongst other consoles, showing the systems’ working processes and the development processes that led to their creation and maintenance.According to Video Games Chronicle, the leak was suspected to come from iQue, the Chinese brand created to release Nintendo content, as well as BroadOn, a third-party company contracted by Nintendo to develop hardware and software for the Wii console.Until now, Nintendo had not made an official statement or response in relation to the massive leak, but on Tuesday (June 28) they referred to the incident in response to a question asked at the company’s annual shareholder meeting in Japan.質問5中国ビジネスについて任天堂はIQueブランドを使っていたが、最近はテンセントと提携している。IQueが情報漏えいのもとになったのではないかという意見もある。情報漏えいのリスクマネージメントに聞きたい。— あれっくす (@NStyles) June 29, 2022Twitter user NStyles has kindly transcribed the meeting and when using the social media platform’s in-built translation feature from Japanese to English, we can garner that Nintendo was asked during the meeting where it stands on iQue, especially when it is considered that “some people believe that iQue may have been the source of information leaks”.In response, Nintendo president
