The request includes a term to shutdown Palworld IIRC

There was a request to halt sales until the specific mechanics were removed, with the mechanics being throwing pokeball like items and riding monsters.

Trying do ban riding fictional animals is a tall order

ackshually 🤓

One of the patents was for seamlessly transitioning from one type of ride to another, as it happens in Legends Arceus, ie: jumping into the water while riding the stag will automatically change to the giant piranha. The irony here is that palworld lacks anything like that, you never transition between 2 different mounts without player input. The closest to that is using some pals as gliders, but you'll just get back on your feet once you touch the ground or water.

Another patent was for throwing stuff at enemies in order to begin combat. They're all hard reads, mostly because they read like they're describing how Legends Arceus works in minute detail.

Fuck it, have Nintendo sue blizzard whole they're at it. I want to see a nerd bloodbath.

I looked through a few articles but couldn't find anything about a term that would shutdown Palworld just because Nintendo won the lawsuit.

The worst case scenario would be something like Palworld having to change their "Pal Spheres" into "Pal Cubes" or prisms, or something similar.

In Japan.

With the money they've made already, they could move the team to US, where none of this would fly.
