Yeah. People don't quite get that, if TPC/Nintendo/GF/Creatures Inc.* had grounds to sue Palworld, they'd be the first ones to notice it and go for it.
*relevant due to allegations that the models were copied. ...they weren't.
"We have known about this game since it was announced but it wasn't until 5000 armchair IP experts contacted us that our lawyers realized there was a case!"
Once I saw that they sued the Pokemon mod, I knew Palworld was safe
Iirc, dude was charging money for the pokemon mod, of course they were gonna take it down
They didn’t sue any mod creator, they only had his trailers removed
Any more info on the models? I'm seeing a lot of crazy claims and side by side comparisons and some are unconfortably close.
Someone from Xitter actually extracted the models from both Pokémon and Palworld, trying to "prove" that Palworld stole them. It had the opposite effect because the meshes don't coincide at all, and it's hard to claim that one is a result of the other being distorted.
This one is specially illustrative, between Lycanroc and Direhowl (that he calls "not Lycanroc").
So, a wolf
I get that the smooth model style is the same as current pokemon designs, but its embarassing that so many people dont know the difference between shared styles and actual rip offs
But it has legs and eyes! It must be a ripoff! PokémonFreak, sue them! /s
Yup, both are wolves. And once you go past that, they don't even look similar:
