If Nintendo goes after Pocketpair, then I want to see Atlus going after Nintendo - because on the same grounds that Palworld would be a Pokémon rip-off, Pokémon would be a rip-off of the Megami Tensei series.

I don’t think that they will though. Nintendo is greedy but not stupid. It’s one thing to go against a Pokémon mod for Palworld, another to go against Palworld itself.

EDIT: I’m addressing what the article says near the end. Refer to “All eyes are on Nintendo and The Pokémon Company to see if the companies take some sort of legal action against Palworld”.

EDIT 2: dunno if people here noticed, but the article is only marginally about the mod. The article is mostly about Palworld being allegedly a rip-off of Pokémon. (No, it is not a rip-off, I know.) Read the article and you will see.
