There is a lot of heated discussion over Palworld being potentially plagiarized by Pokémon. So, will Nintendo sue them? Find out here.

Palworld has become one of the biggest titles within just a few days of its release. If you haven't gotten a chance to play it, the game features pals that you can capture using Pal Spheres. The Pals, in easy words, are Pokémon like creatures, and Pal Spheres are like Poké Balls, which has divided the community into debating whether it has been plagiarised by Pokemon or not.

This has made players wonder whether Nintendo will sue them or not, and here is everything we know.

There is no answer to whether Nintendo will sue Palworld or not; however, as per PocketPair's CEO, Takuro Mizobe, the company has undergone legal checks, and no other companies have taken any legal action against it.

Talking to AUTOMATON, Mizobe stated, "We make our games very seriously, and we have absolutely no intention of infringing upon the intellectual property of other companies.”
