Nintendo sues 'Pokémon with guns' video game firm

Palworld "infringes multiple patent rights", Nintendo and The Pokémon Company said in statements posted on their websites. "This lawsuit seeks an injunction against infringement and compensation for damages". Palworld has become a major hit, with more than 25 million players within a month of its release. Pocketpair's website describes the game as seamlessly integrating "elements of battle, monster-capturing, training, and base building." Players, known as "pal-tamers", travel around a large map battling human foes and creatures known as "pals" which can be captured and recruited.
