«Esperábamos cierto porcentaje de tonterías»: Pocketpair responde a las acusaciones de que Palworld: Palfarm copia a Pokémon Pokopia

It seems we have statements from the developers of Palworld. As you know, the game has sparked significant controversy due to the perceived similarities in the designs of its creatures called “Pals” with Pokémon from Nintendo.

Today it was confirmed that another release is in the works. Pocketpair has announced Palworld: Palfarm a spin-off of Palworld that combines farm simulation with the game’s core mechanics, in a move that seems to directly respond to the recent announcement of Pokémon Pokopia. In light of the controversy, Pocketpair’s communications director John “Bucky” Buckley wanted to clarify on social media that the team did not develop an entire game in a week and criticized the excess of conspiracy theories, although their statements are unlikely to halt the discussion among fans:

We expected a certain percentage of nonsense and grumpy people when we announced Palfarm, and also a smaller percentage of «POCKETPAIR»… But I’m surprised by the number of people who think we’re a magical developer capable of creating an entire game in a week. Aluminum foil hats are the order of the day!

There is a certain poetic irony… the same people who say «REEE POCKETPAIR» are the ones who believe we made an entire game in a week. I suppose the Schrödinger’s Pocketpair. We are both a trash company and, apparently, capable of making entire games in a week.

There’s no doubt that the original game has drawn inspiration from Pokémon. Sony already expressed its support for Palworld but Nintendo and Pokémon have taken the opposite approach.

They demonstrated it by suing its developers. After that, Pocketpair, the developer of Palworld, made a statement responding to the lawsuits. They also commented on how they felt sad when they received the lawsuit.

Nintendo recently claimed another patent in this legal battle, which could have consequences for other games. Despite all this, it seems the game continues with its release plans, as it has been confirmed that it will officially launch as a full game in 2026.

Remember that following an analysis by a market expert and a possible patent that may have triggered this, the game’s developers have stated they are interested in launching it on Switch 2. That’s why we should keep an eye on updates like this!
