No, it’s just an admission that Nintendo are assholes.
Imagine the awesomeness that Pokemon could be if it wasn’t just rehashed and milking the same formula over and over.
Bullshit lol
Why is anyone posting base legalize as news?
Who cares?
I think most people know its more of a “yeah we don’t want to deal with a years long lawsuit and possibly lose and owe a shit ton of money” type change. Which I think the average person would understand.
automation media
Even for stuff that aren’t remotely pokemon exclusive like using monsters to glide, it makes sense they just go along with it because getting into a court case with Nintendo won’t end well no matter what
Fk ninetendo bs tricks. Not first time they done this
It’s interesting to see a legal expert point out that tweaking game mechanics doesn’t mean you’re conceding anything. Games often evolve for many reasons, and companies might adjust features to avoid potential issues without admitting fault.
We believe you.
And for a real life example: saying “sorry” when accused of something doesn’t automatically mean you actually did said thing.
It’s not an admission. Nintendo is so so so much bigger. Them telling them to change it is them being nice, they can do so much fucking worse.
Nintendo stans screaming “SEE! They changed the game, so they must be guilty!” are basically saying if you wear a raincoat, it proves you control the weather. Maybe read an actual patent lawyer’s take before roleplaying as one.
Nintendo sucks and palworld ripped them tf off, both can be true and are. This absolutely is just Nintendo being petty though
They know we can just mod them back in.
Japanese copyright law is far too general in what it allows enforcement of, and Nintendo is a shit company.
PocketPair still pushes shit code and is guilty of abandonware, but they don’t deserve this.
Kinda odd considering how insistent they were on fighting it in court.
Bravo!
Hope Nintendo loses hard so Palworld can restore all that was lost.
It’s kind of fucked that Nintendo can just go and retroactively patent shit they didn’t invent – salting the earth of video game creativity in the process – to fuck personally with companies they don’t like, and apparently the patent regulators are perfectly cool with this.
Good job Nintendo. I grew up playing your video games, owned every Pokémon game that came out, I own a switch now as well. I’m legit never going to support this company again because of that lawsuit, and I have like 10 hours playing palworld. Fuck yourselves you greedy little bitches.
