We have not granted any permission for the use of Pok\u00e9mon intellectual property or assets in that game. We intend to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to the Pok\u00e9mon. We will continue to cherish and nurture each and every Pok\u00e9mon and its world, and work to bring the world together through Pok\u00e9mon in the future.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cgame released in January 2024\u201d most likely refers to Palworld, a recently launched best-selling game that has been caught up in heated disputes regarding alleged plagiarism. Many users have been expressing doubts that the creature design in Palworld goes beyond being inspired by existing Pok\u00e9mon designs and that there is plagiarism and asset theft involved.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right before Palworld\u2019s release, PocketPair\u2019s CEO had commented that their studio has no intention of infringing on the intellectual property of other companies, and that Palworld had gone through legal review. It remains to be seen whether the investigation by The Pok\u00e9mon Company will clear the allegations or lead to legal action being taken.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pok\u00e9mon Company released an official statement titled \u201cInquiries Regarding Other Companies\u2019 Games.\u201d This is likely in reference to alleged plagiarism by Palworld.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":26171,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-26168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
