Palworld’s arrival in the gaming scene caused millions of players to jump into an open world that reminded them of all the Pokémon games that simply couldn’t live up to those standards. Even though the game feels heavily inspired by the popular franchise, it does things uniquely that sit well with its player base.
Tencent’s take on the same has been very similar to Palworld, and the studio’s CEO clarified that he has no problem with any of it. However, an article by IGN put this in a different light, stating that Takuro Mizobe ‘accused‘ Tencent of certain wrongdoings, which simply isn’t true.
The Creator of Palworld Has No Problems With Other Companies Following in His Footsteps The game boasts more than 60k active players at the moment.
Takuro Mizobe, the creative mind behind Palworld, has been quite vocal about his opinions on Tencent’s actualization of something similar.

What goes around comes around. Palworld is believed to be inspired by Pokémon, now others are taking inspiration from it. Helldivers 2 could be sharing the same fate. Both games successfully captured the attention of gamers when the industry appeared to have been down and out of quality games.
The games were released earlier this year and both have lived up to the mark. While the survival game has managed to sell nearly 25 million copies globally in its early access phase, the co-op shooter title has sold around 8 million as per the last report. The clones for the games might be coming and one developer is excited to see how it unfolds.

The Pokémon Company has released an official statement, presumably about survival game Palworld, in which it vows to ‘investigate’ whether it infringes on its property.
Since Palworld’s announcement in 2021, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have kept surprisingly quiet about the game’s similarities to their own monster-collecting franchise. As the multiplayer survival opus has repeatedly broken sales and player count records since its release on the 19th January, however, it sounds as though the owners of Pokémon have been prodded into giving a response.
In a press release put out on its official website – and available in both English and Japanese – The Pokémon Company responds to “inquiries regarding other companies’ games”.
Interestingly, Palworld isn’t mentioned directly by name, though given the wording and timing, it’s clear what game The Pokémon Company is talking about.
Here it is in full:

Pokémon with guns. What a concept.
On Jan. 19, Japanese game studio Pocketpair released Palworld to blockbuster numbers. An enormous audience flocked to the open-world survival title, which allows players to outfit cute, animal-like creatures with assault rifles or rocket launchers. Almost overnight, the game evolved from an obscure indie project mocked as a dystopian knockoff of Pokémon to one of the most popular games in the world. It sold over six million copies in four days, with among the highest concurrent player counts in the history of the Steam marketplace.
One question in the backdrop of the game’s breakout success that may decide its future viability, as well as other titles that toe the line between copyright infringement and taking advantage of popular concepts and designs without crossing that boundary: Do the “pals,” eerily similar to the creatures in Pokémon, infringe on existing intellectual property?

Palworld, an action-adventure video game by Japanese developer Pocket Pair, debuted via Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview on Jan. 19. In just three days, five million copies sold, making it the top-selling and most-played game on the Steam charts, with players describing it as addictive fun: “Tried it for a couple of hours at 9pm, had some fun, it was then 3am,” reported one satisfied redditor who downloaded the game.
But that customer’s description of the game itself hinted at a point of controversy that has complicated the lightning-in-a-bottle success of Palworld.
