Nintendo Is Crucifying Palworld

Palworld has removed the ability summon pals by throwing pal spheres. Most likely due to the ongoing lawsuit with Nintendo.

Make sure to use code "REV" to get 10% off your order!!!

Nintendo not letting palworld summon a monster by throwing a ball even though they got the idea from ultraseven

[yufeng]

Retroactively updating patents should never be a thing

[Condottiere]

There's no way Nintendo invented every mechanic they use in their games. Really hope this precedent comes back to bite them.

[garudanathanael]

In that case, Dragon Ball should sue Pokemon for copying their capsule ability.

Next patent, casting magic spells with a staff.
Pulling sword from waist-positioned sheathe.

[coyotejack]

This is a Bad precedent. Many companies that have the money Will patent troll core gameplay to destroy future innovation

[macklinwright]

I mean if Nintendo wants to lose customers for their next game then be my guest, I’m not gonna stop them

[jarrelleandersola]

This means that the future of gaming will not be reached. It will always be large gaming companies block any chance small game devs to create a new game.

[Ashkihyena]

Yep, probably passing on the next Pokemon iteration for this reason.

Pokemon wasn’t the first to have these concepts despite what they want to think.

I just got a reply on Twitter about how I'm a loser crying about the gaming industry because of this. I'm literally in college to become a game designer. So, is it far-fetched of me to be upset about this situation?

[TrueTrickster]

Man, Game Freak really thinks that they're the first ones to do the whole "collect monsters and use them on your team, " idea.

Nintendo: Pay us a fee for using "our" game mechanic
Pocketpair: Nah, we'll just remove it
Nintendo: Wait, no...

[madfluffypanda]

Fun Fact: You still have to throw a Pal Sphere to capture a Pal.

[duanefouche]

My biggest annoyance is that Nintendo is claiming that Palworld copied the mechanic (in a 3d world / open field) from Legends Arceus.

When the reality is that Craftopia, also from Pocket Pair, had the mechanic in it 2 years before the release of Legends Arceus.

I really hope that when it comes to court proceedings that Pokcket Pair points this out, as it would be delightful egg on their face for Nintendo.

I hope the judge doesn't mess around

[IaeyanElyuex]

The sad part is, wrong as it is, and wrong as Nintendo knows it is, they will 100% get away with it. Because unlike myself, who hasn't given this rotten company a dime in 8 years, the majority of Nintendo's users either don't care, are too hooked on their products, or are on board with them keeping this hold on the industry.

We just need a lvl 3 pal sphere launcher. If we cant throw pals, we sure can launch them!

They can even make it like, a ghetto slingshot over the shoulder launcher. Or a catapult thing!

[AntiRiku]

Good ol' "Why bother competiting when you can eliminate the competition"
Game Freak is a joke

[Arassar]

Software patents should NOT be allowed. What an absolute clown show.

[GourdietheGardener]

This actually has a negative impact on gameplay because now I can't aim my pal into the distance anywhere and makes complicated in-game situations more complicated. These gameplay patents need to freaking go.
