You’re not wrong.

There was a lot of foreshadowing that pretty much had to go ignored.

Oh! The scariest Dumud name change was "MalMudRat" >.>

Was doing a raid and I see "MalMudRat" pulling a pal to safety.... This is my first time seeing this feature and I was so confused wondering if online pals pop in to aid and I somehow lucked out to get one of the MalMuds xD

Then quickly realized my partner renamed my Mud >.>

I just got an ad for a Palworld ripoff called Palmon: Survival

So bad

[peak folio]

But Thunderhog loves you.

https://q1.itc.cn/q_70/images03/20250213/c6bdfb17d8d541a6a827eef116c1cd0d.gif

[gloomy raven]

Thunderhog is awesome. Pocketpair should just use it, I mean it's a free for all these days anyway? Nintendo will sue regardless of what you do

[peak folio]

That’s not gonna end well.

[gloomy raven]

Why not? What is Palmon Survival going to do? Sue?

On what grounds? The rigging isn't theirs to begin with

When there's a free for all legally, anyone can sue for anything, which is what is happening now with Nintendo

[peak folio]

A defendant demonstrating that they are capable of every accusation the plaintiff is making is going to hand the verdict over to the plaintiff.

Nintendo is the only party being petty and it needs to stay that way.

[gloomy raven]

That standard is meaningless in games these days, they can just make Lightning Hog and make their own model, no issues legally, eg some of the pals in Palworld vs Pokemon

A lot of these knockoffs on mobile are Chinese where there's zero legal protections so there is no recourse also

[peak folio]

Miraibo Go made their own models but clearly used Palworld’s skeletons and animations and that ended real quick.

[gloomy raven]

Wasn't that Nintendo shutting them down? lol

[peak folio]

Where did you see that?

[tranquil obsidian]

miraibo go almost certainly flopped because of terrible pricing practices lmao

[humble parrot]

They didn't make their own models

[gloomy raven]

https://gamingonphone.com/news/miraibo-go-announces-shutdown-due-to-a-copyright-dispute/

[peak folio]

I probably shouldn’t have mirrored the statement for that, yeah.

[peak folio]

Miraibo Go is set to shutdown after just a month of service due to a copyright dispute with Nintendo

The game has copied a lot or drew inspiration from similar titles like Palworld and Pokémon Go. This was about to happen, especially after Nintendo pursued a legal case against Palworld for having similarities, although they lost the lawsuit.

Yeah this source is very very bad.

[gloomy raven]

Where's your source they shut down due to using Palworld models?

Because I found several gaming news sites talking about them having an issue with Nintendo, not Pocketpair

[peak folio]

The contents are categorically false.

[gloomy raven]

Also a bad source, but it's the only thing I can find really https://www.enduins.com/news/miraibo-go-to-shut-down-following-copyright-dispute-with-nintendo

[peak folio]

If Nintendo lost the lawsuit why today’s announcement.

[gloomy raven]

Yes I get it the news we have available isn't great, but you said they shut down due to re-using Palworld "animations and skeletons".

Where are you getting that from?

[peak folio]

I stated “clearly” because they are identical to the frame.

[gloomy raven]

Okay but is that why they actually shut down?

[humble parrot]

We datamined the models and animations ourselves and confirmed that was the case, whether action was taken by pocketpair, we don't know.

[gloomy raven]

Exactly

[tranquil obsidian]

i can't post the image here, but the official shutdown notice listed changes in game development and operation strategies

[gloomy raven]

Chinese knock-offs rip stuff from Japanese and Western games all the time and that doesn't mean that action is why they shut down, for example

Correlation isn't causation

[humble parrot]

Miraibo confirmed it was due to a report from a "competitor"

[peak folio]

I only mention the correlation, I never stated who was responsible.

[humble parrot]

In their shutting down announcements until termination

[peak folio]

But it demonstrates they can’t just get away with it.

[gloomy raven]

Maybe they ripped off stuff from Pocketpair but they shut down due to something else completely unrelated, is what I am saying

[peak folio]

That doesn’t prove Nintendo did it.

[gloomy raven]

Yeah I understand

Remember when everyone thought Nintendo was going after Palworld due to the pal designs? But it turns out, the legal action is actually about something else entirely different

[peak folio]

The minute Nintendo announced their course of action, patents were stated.

[gloomy raven]

I'm leaning much more towards another entity going after mobile clones though, Pocketpair doesn't exactly have the resources to go after every new mobile clone that comes up, especially if it's Chinese https://www.chartboost.com/resources/blog/seeing-double-a-closer-look-at-copycatting-in-chinas-mobile-game-market/

The China clone market is going strong, no one has been able to stop it

[peak folio]

Nintendo’s MO is C&Ding everybody before legal action, but that never happened with their case against Pocket Pair.

To the Nintendo AI that's in this Discord collecting data on Palworld. I will never spend another $ on Nintendo or any of the franchise's products. I'm throwing away my own and my family's pokemon stuffies and replacing them with Palworld ones. I will never come back to your company for entertainment of any kind. I will also pretend I've never heard of you or your products. I will make this a trend to hate companies that try to monopolize on an idea. You undercut hareware in your consoles, your greedy practices are so obvious and disgusting that anyone that continues to follow your company and its ways are ignorant and mindless drones and they will also be ignored.

You're scared of Palworld now? Keep up that practice of greed and watch how quick your company becomes Sega 2.0.

Can we also stop sharing stuff from a company that's trying to ruin our game please?

In the situation of the lawsuit, I am the child watching adults squabble. I like both of my toys and want both of my toys. I will wait for them to duke it out as they know what is going on, not me.

Things I can do is promote what I enjoy and understand not everything is good. I can give my support towards what I know is going on and hope for what I believe to be the correct outcome.

I do not wish for either company to go under, but I think Nintendo does need a genuine A* whooping and I am hoping they get it right here and now.

But, I am not going to go and tell people to not enjoy something they love because the adult in this situation is being a complete -insert words of your own choosing-

I am not someone knowledgeable on the subject of patents and trademarks and I won't pretend to be. I would recommend looking into different platforms to see what they say, see if they have a help section, and reach out to other creators to better educate yourself so you don't fall into any issues.

Is it turn based like FFT?

[tranquil obsidian]

it was an image; so i can't really offer much more than good luck with it; once they have more of an idea where they want to take it, and start producing more it'll be easier to give feedback. but at the same time, it's probably worrying to put everything out there, especially with random people on the internet

[drifting fjord]

I had the nicest dream last night, it was absolutely pouring down with rain and there was a big plant pot outside with lots of really chonky snails and slugs inside!

I remember pouring some water out of it so they didn't drown or something, I love my little squishies

[boreal crow]

Crazy I can't use my bird to glide, guess I gotta play a different game where I can use my bird to fly

https://i.redd.it/jjp9ubt74lze1.jpeg

[graceful dune]

Lets go! I'm fine with paying $2000 for anything Nintendo spills out. What a great company.

[graceful dune]

Keep doing it and let me know when a playable alpha is ready

[graceful dune]

Since I condone a company that bullies smaller companies, My favorite Pokemon is the SilphCo CEO.

Man's a genius.

[hollow gust]

Will do, and if anyone else besides Goku here wants to have a shot of playing something new that isn't being made by the Big N and not a Pokemon game, lemme know in DMs.

[glacial sphinx]

This is bs...... Palworld got shieted by nintendo lawsuit.....unbelievable

I think i would suggest the devs to go pull this off to ICC or go west or any country that protects this game

I better relocate if i am a dev or ceo and nintendo.gov doesnt love the community aka gamers

[boreal crow]

"guild wars 2 has been getting pseudo creature gliding, where you can by "skins" for your glider that are animals." That's cool too.

[broken flame]

They don't just hate their fans but also their customers and competition

[hollow gust]

Luckily I myself am a game dev just like PocketPair is, however I currently don't have a public company just yet since I don't have enough money currently to even get a building big enough for a company at the moment.

[glad sparrow]

funny because sonic use to get propelled by tails / glide in the sonic game, pretty sure there other games

[quartz wave]

Palworld>Pokemon

[tight sleet]

palworld > legend arceus

[glacial sphinx]

Indeed hopefully they have the funds to find a suitable location other than japan ngl.... Its annoying

Had a minor discussion with someone, and I THINK we may have found a way to bring back the "Summon Pal" animation, while avoiding the nonsense by Nintendo: Have a Flaregun style system where you fire a Flare, and when it lands, the Pal is deployed.

Lovely thing to wake up to

[plucky dove]

Unlimited centipede :D

[jaunty kraken]

Let me guess, you are a fan of Bug type Pokémon in general

[plucky dove]

How could you tell? :3

[jaunty kraken]

Because you are an insect

[odd mesa]

Peak part (I forgot to count)

[plucky dove]

Good argument
Anyways, when are the devs gonna add kindling, electricity generation and watering arthropods to Palworld so a bug-only run is possible?

[jaunty kraken]

Part 7 now!

[jaunty kraken]

Fun fact, I did a Bug only run in Pokémon White 2

It was fun!

[plucky dove]

Also can we have a:
Tiger beetle pal, assasin bug pal, water strider pal, fishing spider pal, tailless whip scorpion pal, bush cricket pal, praying manits pal- (I'm gonna stop now)

[plucky dove]

I'm planning to do the same but with Volt White and Volt White 2 (in case you don't know, they're rom-hacks of the Gen 5 games that make the games harder)

[jaunty kraken]

Just say you wang the entire Insect Class in Palworld!

Personally I want a raccoon Pal 🥹

[jaunty kraken]

I assume your Palworld team consists of:
Warsect
Warsect Terra
Beegarde
Elizabee
Cinnamoth

[plucky dove]

Almost, it's:
Tarantriss
Splatterina (I gotta have my blood princess come on)
Warsect
Menasting
Sybelix (bet you didn't see this one coming)

[jaunty kraken]

Arachnid
Psycho humanoid
Insect
Arachnid
A Pal I'd never associate with you (not an insect or arachnid)

[plucky dove]

Sybelix is a silk moth

[jaunty kraken]

My bad

Then she does belong on your team

[plucky dove]

Yeah, it's a more funky design, but I like it!
Maybe except the eyelashes, they're a bit overdone, but I've kinda gorwn accostumed to them

[jaunty kraken]

Two insects and two arachnids

[plucky dove]

Only because they don't let me carry more with me lol

I'd bring Cinnamoth and Elizabee too if I had room

[wise wagon]

Steel bug superiority.

Hail Genesect.

[jaunty kraken]

Scizor a real one

[jaunty kraken]

HELL YEAH!

[jaunty kraken]

In my White 2 Bug only run Scizor was my genuine saving grace in a part where I was getting destroyed

[drifting fjord]

Kleavor is my boy- oh shit I still need to finish that drawing I abandoned years ago FUCK

[jaunty kraken]

If you don't finish your drawing then no knights or sci-fi for you!

[drifting fjord]

It was an OC reference, an old kleavor barbarian known as “the butcher” (butch for short) but I didn’t finish it because my dog died and that ruined my whole year tbh

[wise wagon]

https://tenor.com/view/red-genesect-mewtwo-mythical-pokemon-legendary-pokemon-genesect-gif-12599497494608610705

[plucky dove]

Escavalier is better steel bug

[wise wagon]

Never heard of it.

OH. Nevermind, that one.

[plucky dove]

How could you forget the knight bug?!
Blasfemy!

[jaunty kraken]

I should try out using Kleavor if I ever play a game where he appears

[wise wagon]

Because my allegiance is with Genesect (bug steel) and Aggron (rock steel).

[drifting fjord]

Oh you know what I should draw? Escavalier and either ceruledge/armarouge fusion

[plucky dove]

I say fuck yeah do this

[drifting fjord]

Imo escavalier would be so much cooler as a proper humanoid knight but that’s just me

[jaunty kraken]

Not two of my favorite legendaries/mythicals beefing </3

[drifting fjord]

Better yet I could make it a centaur since it has lances… like my fave pals

[wise wagon]

Agreed. Maybe an alternate form.

[wise wagon]

Centipede legs and lance hands.

[drifting fjord]

Ohhhhhhh that would be sick, centipede-taur!

[jaunty kraken]

And don't forget to share your art here!!!

[drifting fjord]

Might take a while since I’m binging stellaris again (give me a week or two LMAO)

[plucky dove]

Centipede centaur
Basically a living train

[wise wagon]

Or maybe some sort of Saltatorial legs.

[drifting fjord]

LMAO I should totally draw more exotic taurs, might even make a cool alien species to get out of this sci-fi art drought of mine

[wise wagon]

My best creation in Spore was an ant with a centaur-esq structure.

[plucky dove]

Bugs were born to conquer the stars

[drifting fjord]

So a mantis?

[wise wagon]

Yes and no.

[plucky dove]

If there are no raptorial forelegs it isn't mantis

Golisopod!

I don’t even know what my best spore creation is tbf, I have so many of them I can’t remember which one I liked best

[jaunty kraken]

I should use him in a Gen 7 game

[plucky dove]

Golisopod, Scolipede, Araquanid AND Galvantula in the same image?

[solid sun]

Is that spore?

[drifting fjord]

Yeah modded spore

[solid sun]

I am suprised I guessed this spot on.

[drifting fjord]

Mods make creating stuff way more dynamic, you can make some insane shit with them

[plucky dove]

Now we only need Leavanny, and Ribombee, and Lurantis, and Volcarona, and Frosmoth, and Centiskorch, and-

[drifting fjord]

I couldn’t share all of my creatures since there’s hundreds of them at this point haha, but I made some palworld stuff more recently, as well as some pokemon and some modded terraria bosses/characters

[jaunty kraken]

And Scyther, Vespiquen, Heracross

[plucky dove]

All the bug!

[jaunty kraken]

You're out here creating the space Pals in Spore!
You're just missing Selyne

[drifting fjord]

Ye idk if I could do selyne, some things are not feasible even with mods 😵‍💫

[jaunty kraken]

And Volbeat, Illumise, Kriketune, Lokix!

[jaunty kraken]

Not with that attitude!

[drifting fjord]

Like that time I tried to make yharon but he ended up looking like he suffered from chronic stress because he was missing heaps of feathers LOL

[plucky dove]

Eh... not a fan of the Gen 9 bugs actually

[jaunty kraken]

Yharon, featherless dragon

[drifting fjord]

basically there’s a hard limit for parts, if you go over that limit your creations get corrupted if you save it in that state

Too much detail in the wings for the game to handle, rip

[jaunty kraken]

Not a fan of the bug types introduced in the region based in Spain?!?!?!

[north thicket]

chicken*

[jaunty kraken]

to be fair it's Gen 9 so I would be insulted if my homeland would be represented in a mid generation

[drifting fjord]

Fair I would riot if they fucked up an aussie region

[plucky dove]

I have an overall dislike of Gen 9 because they really choose the game based on Spain to fuck that shit up

[drifting fjord]

And if they didn’t make a puggle pre-evolution to an echidna pokemon

[plucky dove]

Like, you make a region based on Spain and you don't add a black widow?
Immediate 0/10

Also massive loss not making regional forms for Leavanny and Escavalier, but they fumbled regional forms as a whole in Gen 9 because there's just so few of them!

[jaunty kraken]

Portugal dodged a bullet with Gen 9 (not counting DLC, only Spain was represented, the only "references" to Portugal are cultural aspects that belong to both countries)

[jaunty kraken]

Honestly an Australia based region needs Legends Arceus style of gameplay where every Pokémon wants to kill you

[plucky dove]

Tbh yeah, when I heard Gen 9 was based on the peninsula I knew it was gonna be only Spain
Mfs really forget Portugal exists

[jaunty kraken]

Portugal dodged a bullet 😭 🙏

[drifting fjord]

Too true lmao

[plucky dove]

Y'all really did dodge that bullet there, lucky

[drifting fjord]

Keep getting swooped by regional murkrow lol

[jaunty kraken]

Fucking Miktank isn't available there
If they didn't add more Tauros variants it would have been atrocious

[jaunty kraken]

Leavanny, Escavalier, and Buzzwole other cool bug types!

[drifting fjord]

You know what would be fucking hilarious in an aussie region?

[plucky dove]

They couldn't really do Buzzwole since it's an ultrabeast

[jaunty kraken]

At first we thought that it was gonna be a Portugal AND Spain region

[drifting fjord]

So charcadet evolves upon contact with armour, yeah?

[plucky dove]

But would you look at the time, it's every single time, only Spain

[drifting fjord]

Imagine one accidentally evolving using ned kelly’s armour and now it has guns LMAO

[jaunty kraken]

Some angry Aussie running at you for stealing their Pokémon Vegemite equivalent?

[drifting fjord]

Imagine a fight between ceruledge and a ned kelly evolution, it just embodies “parry this you filthy casual”

[jaunty kraken]

Also they better not forget Breloom is an Australian region!
He is a literal kangaroo mushroom Pokémon

[plucky dove]

At this point, having expectations for Game Freak is a real bad idea

[jaunty kraken]

Are we gonna get one of Bucky’s panel?

What are the game mechanics theyre forced to remove

Do we know yet

[brazen storm]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2762181314 found this, too

[peak folio]

It sounds like they’re just trying to get ahead of it rather than risking being forced under someone else’s terms…

So far throwing spheres to summon (not catch) and displaying glider pals have been removed.

[jaunty kraken]

I think we, as a community, should come together to try to reverse the current lawsuit decision. How on earth that patent “pet that you can fly as mounts” even held up in court is beyond me. Other than backing up all version of Palworld, does anyone here have any ideas on how we can help?

Also, does that mean every game that has a mount is in danger of being removed as well? WOW has been doing this for years with both ground and flying mounts

[humble parrot]

Flying mounts have not been removed

Dexerto lied

[slow vine]

It’s on the news everywhere?

So it’s false?

[humble parrot]

Check #patch-notes

[slow vine]

I don’t have access to it

[humble parrot]

Get the palworld role then

#announcements message

This also addresses it

[humble parrot]

Only gliding with a pal was removed. It is now done with the glider.

[slow vine]

????

So gliding was removed…

Or only the glider?

[slow vine]

Don’t worry, I’m sure Nintendo will just hit them with another lawsuit saying how they ripped off gliding with a glider from BOTW 🙄

Ridiculous

I hope this gets reversed

I would recommend they counter that lawsuit changes by showing other games that have flying/gliding mounts as well

[night plume]

They are countering

[slow vine]

Not to mention Fortnite in case they do try to pull something and say “gliding from BOTW”

Just makes me upset. Sorry about the rant/vent

[rancid iris]

I really hope the flying mount thing is just a temporary change as they fight back this is so stupid

[night plume]

You can find their counter statement with examples online. I don't have any links to send, others might.

[rancid iris]

How this passed in a court of law baffles me

[slow vine]

I will look. The only thing I find online is how they removed gliding mounts

[hollow gust]

But yet they can't really claim that Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild did the glider thing 1st, like nuh-uh no it's not the 1st to do that cause Fortnite exists and has done it before Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild did so nice try with lying Big N.

[night plume]

Court of law is different per country. And because of how lawyer speak/legaleze is there is a bunch of nuance many of us are not going to understand because we didn't study it.

From what I keep reading around(and this is opinions, not factuals), many are speculating the changes to be temporary to just ease during the lawsuit.

[slow vine]

I have two theories about it but I don’t want to say it here. I’m just saying, a week or two ago news articles claimed the devs were winning the lawsuit and then this was randomly pulled out of left field… ||allegedly very suspicious ||

[night plume]

They would claim Windwaker instead. You can glide in that one too.

[slow vine]

They can’t claim the pet gliding/mount thing and yet here we are…

[night plume]

News articles want clicks. Whatever gets the attention.

[hollow gust]

I honestly hope that the changes get reversed after PocketPair verbally destroys the Big N with enough evidence and proof of other games using the same mechanics that the Big N is trying to weaponize and use against PocketPair.

[slow vine]

What’s next? Nintendo claims they created the turn based genre… I wonder how Square Enix would feel about that… and Nintendo wasn’t even the first to have a game with monster taming in it

[night plume]

https://tenor.com/view/malreynolds-firefly-speechless-gif-5332816

[slow vine]

I’m pretty sure it was Shin Megami that was the first BTW

[slow vine]

I hope so too

Otherwise other companies will do the same… then there will be no more innovation in gaming

[rancid iris]

With how japan court is lowkey they could show all the evidence in the world proving nintendos bs and the judge would still side with nintendo

It is such an uphill battle

[slow vine]

Could you imagine if Activision tried to claim they had a patent on the FPS genre?

No other FPS would exist

[slow vine]

That was one of my theories… that it was allegedly rigged in favor of Nintendo…

Again… allegedly

Don’t want to get sued like Garry Bowser

instantly sued like Garry Bowser

💀

[hollow gust]

I mean I'm working on something that's turn-based, but yet y'all don't see me trying to file a patent for it because unlike Stupidendo (Stupid Nintendo, but Ninten of Nintendo replaced with Stupid) with their tyrannical power-tripping and petty sue-happy attitude, I'm smart enough to realize that there's other turn-based games out there like for example the Final Fantasy franchise.

[night plume]

Stupendo?

[frozen oasis]

at this point, I wouldn't mind if pocket pair opened up a gofundme because this is becoming ridiculous
removing palmon as gliders? what are they smoking at nintendo hq

[hearty sonnet]

I don't think they're hurtin' for money haha

[night plume]

Did you know, the first Final Fantasy was on the NES?

[hearty sonnet]

Hell yeah

[frozen oasis]

also, i wonder if other big companies will sue nintendo for patent violations if they end up winning this one, just as a collective fuck you

[hollow gust]

That could work too, cause what the Big N is doing right now is acting completely stupid and pretending like the rest of the games that also use the very same mechanics as Pokemon don't exist and are only targeting Palworld, like news flash Big N the rest of those games that are also using the very same mechanics do indeed exist.

[hearty sonnet]

The first few FF games were so hard lol

[night plume]

I need to get my SNES back out and finish the one I have.

[hollow gust]

I played that one growing up, could not beat Garland each time I challenged him, I was a child when I did that so I didn't know what I was doing.

https://tenor.com/view/pardon-final-fantasy-garland-garland-pardon-dissidia-dissida-garland-gif-21961634

[frozen oasis]

well, if nintendo wins this bs, they prove patents rights don't need to be applied equally. imagine if all the other big patent holders in japan collectively ganged up on nintendo for all the violations they can muster, since they became the patent trolls

[hollow gust]

I didn't see a NES gif for Garland, but that's what Garland looks like.

[slow vine]

Fun Fact: a lot of the things people liked about Pokémon came from Dragon Quest V (1992) which was inspired by Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei (1987) which was inspired by the books 1986. However, the first game with monster taming mechanics was Nethack. The game was originally created in 1982, and it’s revision/update as Nethack in 1987, but the monster taming mechanisms where added in Hack in 1984. Confusing useless trivia I know. Useless unless I’m selected to attend gamer jeopardy

[night plume]

Think I played a remake briefly, but not enough to claim I played the game.

[frozen oasis]

imagine patenting a mechanic dozens used before you over a decade earlier. couldn't be anyone sane

[slow vine]

The patent troll defense should never be held up in any respectable court

[night plume]

I am just imagining someone patenting seatbelts

[frozen oasis]

I mean, if the patent troll wins, make them go bankrupt in legal fees

[slow vine]

Can’t wait for Nintendo to (allegedly) start suing every game company that ever featured mounts. I wonder how (allegedly) Nintendo V Activision Blizzard would look like.
Nintendo: “We have a patent”
WOW players: “Really???”

[hollow gust]

The Big N is totally and completely patent trolling, and if PocketPair can manage to beat the Big N in the frivolous and petty lawsuit, they should also point out that they were practically patent trolling just to make themselves look like they are the good guys, that they are the victim of mechanism theft.

[slow vine]

Nintendo always sets a new standard… for better or worse.

[frozen oasis]

at this point, nintendo going bankrupt from a dozen companies patent-suing them might be the best thing to happen to gaming for a while

[slow vine]

Allegedly

Make sure to always say that before making a claim

Or even an opinion

[frozen oasis]

this is a potential future I hope will happen if nintendo wins. they set the standard, then feel the other end of that standard applied to you also

we will just see if courts will rule in their favor or not

[night plume]

There is a plus from all of this.
Look at all of the people coming together to tell them they disagree with what they are doing. It is uniting a bunch of people and if we are lucky it will create an understanding of what should be allowed and will be accepted.

[hollow gust]

When in reality no such mechanism theft is going on, just a sue-happy tyrannical patent troll being completely stupid by targeting a new company with a frivolous and petty lawsuit, that the Big N needs to lose.

[frozen oasis]

imagine if sony, bandai namco, konami, capcom, square enix, and a few others were suddenly ganging up on nintendo for allegedly patent trolling pocketpair

seems sony is the biggest company in terms of filing patents

[slow vine]

I disagree. There is no plus to this. People love to complain. We’ve seen that with Switch 2 and it’s overpriced games that Doug Bowser (current president of Nintendo of America) stated “the price increase had nothing to do with tariffs” sold out over night. All those people who were shouting “drop the price!” Didn’t even last a day the moment preorders went live. So I say, enough with complaints, no more words. Now is the time for action. Vote with your wallet by not buying… choose not to spend.

[frozen oasis]

the people that said "drop the price" aren't the ones that got access to the preorder, is the issue

to get access to preorders, you need to have sold your firstborn child to the mighty doug bowser

[slow vine]

We don’t know that. It’s all speculation. It could have been scalpers or it could have been the die hard fans, or it could have been both

[slow vine]

“Allegedly”

Seriously guys… you have to use that word even if joking about something. A lawsuit is no joke

[night plume]

I was not eligible for a switch 2 according to the criteria I read.

I also don't want to spend that much money

[slow vine]

I wouldn’t be surprised if (allegedly) some Nintendo Ninjas were lurking here… 🥷

[hearty sonnet]

Always assume they are here

[peak folio]

Just sit back and them cook. They didn’t say this was the result of a verdict.

[frozen oasis]

either way, whether or not nintendo wins this lawsuit, them acting like this towards another japanese company will not leave a good taste in the mouths of other companies allegedly in competition in the free market

[night plume]

Not Nintendo ninjas, but definitely news people. They get their info from all of us. We are their "credible" sources.

[hollow gust]

I may be a fan of Pokemon since my childhood when I was first introduced to it, but now I'm starting to become a Palworld fan now too and for the best because I can see just how much fun Palworld is despite the unnecessarily made changes due to the Big N, some are saying that the changes are not because of the Big N but I honestly see the changes as the Big N being the cause and reason, but what they're not the cause and reason for is the additional stuff that was added to Palworld which makes it even more content to explore and enjoy, the Big N don't do shit like that but instead they ignore the suggestions and the complaints an act like just because whatever game is buggy or glitchy but making them money anyways, that they don't have to do shit to fix them.

[peak folio]

News people are scary

[frozen oasis]

my best guess: they tried getting an injunction (temporary restraining order), disallowing them from using the alleged patents, and that motion was granted. better than shutting the entire game down

[night plume]

Agreed

[night plume]

The original order was an injuction

[frozen oasis]

I mean it's literally confirmed by the devs these changes are a direct result of litigation to keep the game running. anyone saying this is not due to the lawsuit doesn't trust the word of the devs

[hollow gust]

At times news people can twist things around for a different narrative, instead of sticking to truth and the facts.

[peak folio]

My best guess doesn’t go anywhere near that far.

[frozen oasis]

the big N word doesn't want to make their games better, but spend so much money eliminating any possible competitor

[frozen oasis]

maybe they filed another alleged patent and allegedly got another injunction for that

[frozen oasis]

ah right, forgot some still listen to news outlets. good riddance, kotaku

[hollow gust]

Which is exactly what I'm saying is that the lawsuit itself is involved with the changes to Palworld, and for those who are thinking that it's something else, they clearly don't have their full attention to what's being said by the Palworld devs.

[night plume]

How do people eat chips for lunch >.>
This just makes me want real food <.<

[frozen oasis]

I just wonder what could have been without this lawsuit
just like how schedule 1 got into a frivolous lawsuit. the gaming industry is fucked

[night plume]

What Nintendo should have done: collab

[frozen oasis]

if you mean the british term for fries, I have seen people eat those as a side dish during lunch
if you mean actual chips, how is that a lunch

[hollow gust]

I don't even really watch the news that much, I'll only watch to see what the weather is going to be and then after that say fuck it an either change what I'm watching to either Youtube or Netflix, or straight up turn off the TV.

[night plume]

American chips

[frozen oasis]

or just hire them to make the next pokemon game

less bugs

[frozen oasis]

...how

[night plume]

Pocketpair creates an entire game. Decides they want to use a new engine. Scrap game and remake it in minimum time. Has less bugs than fully developed Pokémon game.

[night plume]

That's what I'm asking. I feel more hungry than what I was xD

[frozen oasis]

polypol vs monopol supplier
reason why game patents are just R-worded

[frozen oasis]

I can get proper frozen meals for 2.50 from the store and heat them up in 10mins. how do people eat chips for lunch

[night plume]

What I brought for lunch is bad, so I just have the chips. I don't want to spend money at the shop at my work.

But, many here just eat a bag of chips and I want to know how....

[frozen oasis]

but like, this lawsuit is so stupid. imagine if square enix filed a lawsuit against the makers of expedition 33 because of their QTE mechanics wheeze

[slow vine]

Square Enix: “Quick! Write that down!!!”

They can sue because a lot of their monsters from Dragon Quest were clearly ripped off in the Pokémon games.

[hollow gust]

PocketPair would've made a great collab partner for the Big N, so that way if the Big N doesn't make the changes to make their games good again instead of looking like forced buggy slop, PocketPair could make the changes for them an then when the games are good again the Big N would have to thank PocketPair for it.

But noooo, instead of requesting for a partnership with PocketPair they would rather have their own heads so far up their own asses and see PocketPair as a beatable rival or enemy, and go sue-happy by filing a patent lawsuit against PocketPair for allegedly infringing upon the Big N's undeserved patents that some patent office dipshit stupidly approved without doing full research to see if the Big N truly did what they're filing patents for 1st or not.

[frozen oasis]

imagine if the japanese court system suddenly got swept up in a patent turf war that just ends in gaming patents getting voided
one can only dream

[slow vine]

That would have been the best PR move. Make a collab with PocketPair and maybe have Palworld x Pokémon Cross overs and make Palworld 2 an Nintendo exclusive. Everyone wins and fans are happy. Instead they went the nuclear option: patent troll story route… this is the bad timeline

[olive ravine]

They shouldn't have to do that they did nothing wrong

[slow vine]

Riddle me this… What is something no one wants to have, but no one wants to lose?

[frozen oasis]

speaking of the N-word.
cardridges now no longer having the games on them and forcing you to download it off the store is so stupid.

[frozen oasis]

I just got done with finals, don#t turn yourself into a sphinx

[peak folio]

They probably didn’t have to, but they aren’t assuming anything.

[peak folio]

Depends on the game.

[slow vine]

The answer Batman!!!! Is ||a lawsuit||

Unless you’re Nintendo of course… they love having those… allegedly

[peak folio]

tbf Xbox/Playstation do that already ans physical is effectively dead on PC

[slow vine]

Doesn’t make it right

[frozen oasis]

ok, imagine:
> someone buys you a game you wanted for birthday
> you put the card in
> "please download the game"
> surprise surprise! the company got on the bad side of nintendo and they nuked their entire catalog off the eshop!

[hollow gust]

So here's what I think desperately needs to happen, if the lawsuit reaches as far as the courthouse in a courtroom then the very dipshit who stupidly approved the patents without doing further research, needs to be put on the stand so they can be questioned about why they approved the patents without doing any research 1st, cause if that were me handling the patent approval I would've said "Okay lemme check some things 1st to make sure that you guys actually did this first....... doing research........ Oh so sorry Nintendo, but it appears that so many other games besides Pokemon are using the same mechanics, so I'm gonna have to reject the patent request and bid you all a gucci day (good day).

[frozen oasis]

they prob died already

unless you wanna do a neuro and cross-examine the dead employee

[peak folio]

That’s 100% an antitrust situation.

[frozen oasis]

I mean nintendo already tried forcing companies to play by their books with NES or SNES cartridges, didnt they?

[peak folio]

But yeah a lot of discs are just licenses for downloads.

[peak folio]

https://tenor.com/view/rawk-gif-16124458513309901018

[frozen oasis]

back to the old dirty tricks

[slow vine]

I would go with the nuclear option: “So as you can see several other games also have these capture and mount mechanics. Other games also have monster capturing/recruiting mechanics…. Therefore, I ask this court to consider those companies in this lawsuit and they should be included with these patent claims in the future…” I’m sure Nintendo would either (allegedly) double down or give up after that… I don’t think they’d be dumb enough to take on several other companies defending their IPs at once

[frozen oasis]

best case scenario: game patents would become outlawed

[slow vine]

Worst case scenario: patent trolling becomes even more popular

I guess that’s why they call it “kangaroo court”

[frozen oasis]

I mean if it becomes more popular, n-word will go bankrupt from fighting dozens of lawsuits at once over hundreds of patents with multiple injunctions

[slow vine]

They are a multi billion dollar company… they won’t go bankrupt anytime soon. They get money from games and other merchandise… not to mention their deal with Universal. A whole Super Mario area in a theme park

[hollow gust]

Would be hilarious if they tried to double down, only to receive an L like how Mario has a brother known as Luigi whose name begins with the very letter that also starts with Loser, an L.

[slow vine]

They have more money than I can see in my lifetime

[frozen oasis]

yeah, but imagine if square enix got an injunction on n-word not using any of the monsters that were allegedly copied from their 20th century games. the entire first gen would be in limbo

[hollow gust]

But yeah, the Big N deserves the L in the lawsuit for being practical patent trolls who are being selfish, delusional and deceptive.

[errant axle]

found an odd pokemon clone game last night with unusual creature capturing mechanic. overall gameplay is jank, but the designs are cute and the collecting mechanic very novel. i think pocketpair could "borrow" ideas from other monster tamer games. https://youtu.be/ilkB39nnotU?si=FuLtSwHWiy9tZb9L

[peak folio]

https://ticotimes.net/2025/01/30/david-vs-goliath-costa-rican-super-mario-defeats-nintendo-in-court

[frozen oasis]

"licensed by nintendo" huh

[errant axle]

otherwise fuck nintendo, i do hope they lose and the altered mechanics reverted when this shit's overwith

[slow vine]

That would hurt them considering how much they rely on gen 1 Pokémon to sell nostalgia for newer games

[frozen oasis]

ah that shitshow

[peak folio]

Nintendo really needs to have losing spree cause they’re kinda wild rn

[frozen oasis]

you'd imagine their founder was still alive, throwing out these lawsuits personally in their demented state

[peak folio]

Hard to say, they’re well over 100 years old.

[frozen oasis]

remember they were founded in 1889

you bet they put the founder in a jar

[hollow gust]

So in other words, the Big N stole the name Mario and has been using it for their fat spaghetti-loving Italian plumber ever since despite losing that lawsuit with the Super Mario supermarket in Costa Rica.

[peak folio]

I mean

[hollow gust]

No offense to actual Italian plumbers though.

[peak folio]

It’s a supermarket

And the guy who opened it is named Mario

[frozen oasis]

the dude could sue n-word if they tried opening a supermarket in costa rica

and tried selling super mario goods

[hollow gust]

If anything the Big N could've chosen a different M name for Mario instead of sticking with Mario, like maybe Marvin or Melvin.

[peak folio]

How would that change anything?

[hollow gust]

Or, even Miguel.

[peak folio]

They’ll just go after everyone with those names instead

[hollow gust]

It was just an idea that the Big N could've used, without being sue-happy and go after anyone who is named Mario "despite the Big N not being the 1st to come up with the name Mario anyways".

[peak folio]

Or they can just grow up and stop suing everyone for no reason.

[frozen oasis]

I wonder how azur promillia will fare.
bet they will also get sued by n-word while also getting cancelled by xjj and reported to the ccp like kuro games experiences rn?

the gaming market is absolutely fucked

[jaunty kraken]

they should have learned that "Super" is how "supermarket" is often abbreviated in Spanish

[hollow gust]

But anyways, with the lawsuit against PocketPair for the creation of Palworld and everything that Palworld is using, the Big N deserves to lose that lawsuit and the very patents that they tried to use against PocketPair legally revoked and cancelled.

[hollow gust]

That too.

[frozen oasis]

also have them pay legal fees, punitive damages, etc

[hollow gust]

Indeed, every dollar that the Big N is wasting with the frivolous and petty lawsuit against PocketPair, should be paid directly to PocketPair after it's all over and the Big N legally instructed to pay attention to their own games and the feedback from their fans, instead of being sue-happy and wasting time an money for frivolous and petty lawsuits that they're probably never gonna get back.

[frozen oasis]

that's the issue with a truly free market: the big bois bully the competition out, consolidate power, and then become lazy

[chrome carbon]

I’m just surprised that they can even patent a video game mechanic. Models, and IP I can understand.

It would be like me patenting the ability to use a pen to write

[solid sun]

there was another case a few years back, where a small backery was sued by apple, because it had a name like 'Aunt An's Apple Pie' or something along those lines.
Trademark stuff has to be aggressively defended, if you look at documentation of trademark infrengement filings of those companies, you will find hundreds of silly ones.

[frozen oasis]

trademark law needs to be done aggressively, can't fault them there. but patents are a different breed

[peak folio]

You are required to defend trademarks to keep them, but some companies go way above and beyond…

[teal iron]

peak

[hollow gust]

If I ever have to defend my trademark over the name I chose at some point when someone else tries to challenge it, I will gladly take it on without using brutal aggression.

An aggression will be used when necessary, but not right away.

[errant axle]

if i remwmber correctly, mario use to be called jumpman?

[hollow gust]

I believe so, according to the one video on Dorkly over on Youtube.

[night plume]

Jumpman vs Donkey Kong on the arcade machines.
Saves... Priscilla I think

[hollow gust]

This may not be the full video, but it is a short of the video I'm talking about:
https://youtube.com/shorts/fV16NDuZ1IA?si=rMjD1DCrkrJrLemG

[night plume]

And Nintendo was sued for the game cough**cough

[hollow gust]

Wait, which one?

[night plume]

Jumpman vs Donkey Kong arcade machine.
They created Donkey Kong based on King Kong

[unborn mauve]

but due to copyright, they rename it "dokey kong"

[peak folio]

That was the incident that seeded Nintendo’s villain arc.

https://www.psu.com/news/sony-is-reportedly-working-on-pssr-2-to-improve-4k-120-fps-locked-offer-support-for-other-resolutions/

Might actually bite if they pull that off. 😆

[dapper valve]

I imagine Nintendo will just try to force Palworld to shut down completely. Of course I am being pessimistic.

[peak folio]

Nintendo was suing for an injunction against the game so that’s literally what they were trying to do in the first place.

Not was, is

[sick flame]

https://toby.fangamer.com/newsletters/release-time/

[solid sun]

no, YOU have to go after people similar to you that might cause confusion, you should've been told how that works when you got a trademark

if the trademark comission, or whoever, finds out you're not defending your trademark, and there's a bunch of similar enough things you will lose that trademark.
To me, it probably wouldn't really be worth the effort.

like as example, you know the publisher chucklefish.
so if there was an online store that is selling beer called chugglefish, I think chucklefish would have to file a trademark complaint at the very least.

[peak folio]

Those are likely legally distinct already.

Depending on your jurisdiction having someone come out and say “plz stop” may suffice… idk but it was funny to see it performed.

Gamestop and Gamespot have been coexisting for decades, at least.

[solid sun]

probably

I just find trademark weird and silly in a way it works right now

[peak folio]

Even identical names are fine if they are different industries, at least in the US.

[solid sun]

oh that backery was in europe

and apple went after them

[peak folio]

No idea how any of it works over there but the mammoth companies are jerks anyway.

Every arbitration option-out I’ve seen is like that.

But if you don’t you literally can’t take them to court for most things.

If a class action happens, you can’t partake unless you opt out of the arbitration agreement

Honestly the very next videos that I end up watching, had better be "Palworld is Victorious" videos that show that PocketPair has come out on top over the lawsuit and has beaten Nintendo to where the changes can legally be reversed to where it's like the lawsuit from the tyrannical Big N aka Nintendo never happened even though it did, and we see all of the mechanics that was originally what made it really fun to begin with making a big return before Palworld's full release.

[peak folio]

https://www.dexerto.com/gaming/nintendo-is-willing-to-brick-switch-2-consoles-to-tackle-piracy-3193629/

Yeah that’s in there too.

Imagine you forgot to opt out of the arbitration clause and Nintendo bricked your console due to a false positive.

[jaunty kraken]

this has got to be illegal

[peak folio]

Generally you’d get banned for life going online with a modded console, but flipping a kill switch is pretty extreme.

[daring mauve]

"You're not buying the game, just the license to play it!"

[frozen oasis]

it is illegal, and this language is not included in the german version of the TOS.

[frozen oasis]

even without the kill switch, getting your acc banned means you can't even buy / download games, right?

and with cartridges now just being glorified redemption codes

[peak folio]

Not off the online shop, I’d imagine but I don’t know much about this.

Other consoles would do the same thing.

[peak folio]

Again, depends on the game.

Doom The Dark Ages reportedly had like 85MB on the PS5 disk

Cyberpunk for Switch 2 somehow got everything to fit in a 64GB card.

[frozen oasis]

well, just buy a steamdeck at this point

[teal iron]

It's wild that nintendo thinks this will intimidate or stop anyone

all it does is make people like me worried that by some weird accident, my $500 game console gets permanently disabled with no recourse available

I'm sure some of the hackers probably will just learn computer engineering so they can un-brick the console

[jaunty kraken]

now we just have a license to a console, apparently 😭

[frozen oasis]

yeah, I wont get a nintendo console again

[peak folio]

They probably already know how, they just need their hands on a system.

[teal iron]

The concept of kill switches always seemed weird to me

[peak folio]

It’s a slippery slope.

[teal iron]

like on one hand, you have some switch in the system that trips remotely, which is laughably easy to work around
Or you could, I guess, design the entire circuit to fry itself which just seems...hmm

[peak folio]

The easiest way to brick a system is to nuke the firmware.

[teal iron]

Or do that

[humble parrot]

Imagine they get hacked and the hackers send the kill signal to all consoles

[teal iron]

YEAH

[humble parrot]

You now have the largest lawsuit in your life

[peak folio]

always falls in the wrong hands

[teal iron]

What if I figure out how to spoof the signal and just send it to people I don't like

You didn't play mario kart with me
No more mario kart for you.

[jaunty kraken]

sent it to N*ntendo itself!

[teal iron]

[jaunty kraken]

i pity the poor fool that uses a Blue Shell when you're in 1st place 😭

[peak folio]

We don’t know if the ||Kill||Switch 2 even has one, but they’re reserving the right to do it.

[humble parrot]

If they reserve the right, they do

[jaunty kraken]

by the way, here you go:

https://preview.redd.it/i-made-these-two-togekiss-v0-7ps20zgpfntc1.jpg?width=1080&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=603fd4aa7a68df5855c0260ff902736d4eb8b55e

[peak folio]

Yeah, never assume they hold back

[jaunty kraken]

now please don't target me

[teal iron]

It's also possible they just have a virus specifically designed to kill the switch 2 OS, and download it onto systems that flag as pirate

[peak folio]

https://tenor.com/view/eating-eat-eating-food-monster-h-reginald-gif-2362901127389079325

[tranquil obsidian]

reminds me of when temtem had the issue of people getting false flagged for seeing hacked tems

[teal iron]

but then that brings up the next question of how do you actually confirm that
And what if someone just makes a mod that disables your kill switch??

[peak folio]

It’s pretty easy to notice modded consoles when they connect.

[teal iron]

I mean
you can probably make the console pretend to be legitimate

[tranquil obsidian]

uses wonder trade
gets a cute starter
puts in team
immediately banned for hacked pokemon

[teal iron]

Yeah and now you get your switch BLOWN UP too

[peak folio]

That’s pretty advanced if you’re gonna play that game of cat and mouse.

This much is nothing new.

[teal iron]

Actually I have like...6 hacked pokemon, some from wonder trade, others people taking "please give mewtwo" as "please give hax"

[humble parrot]

It's easier to block the kill switch

[peak folio]

But most gamers don’t want to deal with cheaters so yeah

[jaunty kraken]

N*ntendo when they see my team full of perfect IV/EV Pokémon:

[teal iron]

used them in online stuff more than once
Never got caught
I never even knew they were hacked until someone told me that there's no way I could have a shiny mew

[solid sun]

Bowser's Furry

[teal iron]

i mean they were all LEGAL, just
There's no way someone had one and gave it away without me paying them several hundred dollars

[peak folio]

Oh yeah there’s not a single pokemon game that’s not rife with hacked pokemon, just don’t use them in an online battle.

[teal iron]

I DID
I THOUGHT THEY WERE LEGIT AND USED THEM
NOTHING HAPPENED

not in a competitive match with randos or anything

but I assume it runs the check on all online activities

[tranquil obsidian]

its a simple checker, it only checks for stuff thats not possible (wonder guard sableye, hyper beam magikarp)

[humble parrot]

It likely just runs the most basic checksum possible

[tranquil obsidian]

if something is possible (shiny mew) it overlooks it

[peak folio]

I don’t know how manual it is but at least you still have your account.

[teal iron]

wack

[peak folio]

That’s probably safe for an automated system

[frozen oasis]

so that's they have the class action waiver?

[humble parrot]

That and many more things

Probably Joycon drift 2 too

[peak folio]

https://tenor.com/view/switch-joycon-joycons-drift-switch-2-gif-8636565558727532603

They better have fixed that.

[tranquil obsidian]

ive heard as such; basically the odl drift was due to cheap plastic being used under the hood

[peak folio]

Allegedly both the new pro controller and new joycons have much smaller batteries but have the same battery life.

[frozen oasis]

inbefore they explode in your hands when someone throws a grenade at you ingame

[peak folio]

Which not only means they’ll charge way faster, but they’re also doing something different to be so much more efficient.

[peak folio]

4K rumble

[humble parrot]

Not being batteries from 10 years ago helps

[tranquil obsidian]

joycon magnets about to trigger osme bizzare electromagnetic sit that makes your switch battery explode

[peak folio]

Batteries aren’t improving that much.

[humble parrot]

But they certainly improved

[peak folio]

Even in automotive their capacity still sucks, but that’s seen the biggest improvement

[frozen oasis]

imagine if they literally just short-circuit the battery when you are deemed a hacker, making it explode

[peak folio]

But if it’s less capacity anyway, then that’s not were the improvement is coming from.

[unborn mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/no-they-dont-medic-tf2-gif-20274680

[peak folio]

*where

Having to replace everyone’s joy cons continuously has got to be a non-trivial expense.

[tranquil obsidian]

not if it copsts $10 to make them but you sell them for $70 each

[peak folio]

They have patents for a different sort of stick but we don’t know if it’s being used here.

[frozen oasis]

they could have just, you know, changed the material for the next waves. but they save money whereever

[peak folio]

First purchase subsidies all the replacements, guess that’s not unusual (because things usually don’t need regular replacements)

[frozen oasis]

the $80 games are also so fucking wild

[peak folio]

PCI Express games hit different.

[lofty spoke]

Imagine the price if we weren't using paper money.

[peak folio]

80 BTC for Mario Kart

[frozen oasis]

I mean if you use paper money in the store, you get to pay another 10 bucks

[lofty spoke]

Lol, gotta love having untraceable currency.

[lofty spoke]

If you used paper money that could actually be exchanged for gold at a bank...

Well, there'd be a lot less people on the planet.

Imagine being so big, going on a diet is detrimental to your health lol

[novel sun]

I'm not surprised if it's different by country, but Nintendo confirmed that the "$90 physical games" was just a false rumor as far as the U.S. goes

[frozen oasis]

Either way, wont buy them. If expedition 33 can cost 50 bucks, mario kart doesnt need to be 80

[jaunty kraken]

[graceful dune]

Oh wow nice!

Send several Tocotocos to Nintendo HQ

Did they patent the game mechanics they sued Palworld for during one of the lawsuits?

[lofty spoke]

Idk if it was during, but it was after Palworld already went into early access.

[hollow gust]

As hilarious as that would be, that would end up leading to property damage which wouldn't be a good thing.

[broken flame]

Hopefully it would lead to more than the property getting damaged

Or are people at Nintendo considered property as well?

[hollow gust]

I think instead of property being damaged, what would be even worse to be damaged would be their business reputation which wouldn't involve property being damaged at all but would instead show Nintendo's true colors as a business and company, to where even more people come to PocketPair's defense who were once loyal to Nintendo, but who knows if that'll ever happen since that's wishful thinking.

If the Switch 2 is gonna be bricked by Nintendo themselves, then to me purchasing a Nintendo Switch 2 will not only be a bad idea but will also be a complete waste of time and money that nobody will be able to get back.

Another reason to hate you. Thanks Nintendo!

Imagine buying 3x Nintendo Switch 2 as a backup just in case they break

[broken flame]

Imagine spending nearly a thousand dollars on a system just to have it brick itself

Waste of money right there, even though I've piqued interest in a few games for the Switch 2 the piqued interest is for the games and not the console.
