With the implementation of Patch v0.5.5 this week, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

How lame. Japan needs to fix its patent laws, it’s ridiculous Nintendo owns the simple concept of using an animal to fly.

    Summoning creatures from an object is hardly “blatant plagiarism”. Many, many, many games have the ability to summon creatures from an object. Pokemon was certainly not the first one to do it…

    What will you argue if I bring up the fact that they ripped off countless Pokemon?

    Oh wait.

    I don’t care because I am not here to argue with someone who doesn’t understand what plagiarism is. Luckily the courts do, and ruled on the case. :)

      The case case isn’t about character designs, the case is about patents Nintendo filed after PocketPair released a game with said mechanics. The idea that one should be able to patent a game mechanic someone else has already released in their games is BS. Japan’s patent system sucks and Nintendo sucks for abusing it.

      The courts ruled it isn’t plagerism. So… You’re looking pretty stupid here.

      The patents in question have nothing to do with creature designs. And neither would patent law be covering the design of creatures. That would be copyright law.

        Weird how they are overhauling their game if the courts ruled in favour of them eh?

            I never claimed to be an expert, and mistakes happen. Good thing the difference between the three doesn’t matter when Palworld blatantly plagiarized the Pokemon games, and I have yet to hear an actual argument how it didn’t rip off another game.

            But I get it. Pokemon can pew pew now and ignoramus’ eat up gun play.

              You really are that stupid, huh?

              OK, let’s do a little exercise; how many of their creature designs have been changed since launch?

                Watch your mouth before someone closes it for you. Just some friendly advice.

                    You do you bud, but if you think this is me “acting tough” for telling you that your actions will eventually have consequences, you must feel constantly threatened.

      the difference here is that a ton of other creature collector games have done something similar when it comes to summoning them. Coromon is the first one thst pops up in my head.

      what makes palworld different? it genuinely sold well, enough to challenge Nintendo and it’s monopoly with their Pokémon games. Which they barely put any effort in nowadays because they sell regardless because of brand loyalty
