Palworld is a production that has made a big impact in the gaming world lately. Palworld, defined as an open world survival game, offers players many options such as making friends with creatures, fighting, hunting, building and trading. However, the most striking aspect of the game is that these creatures are very similar to Pokemon.
Pocketpair, the developer of the game, defines Palworld as "the game that Pokemon fans dream of." However, The Pokemon Company, the official owner of Pokemon, is not very happy with this situation. The company claims that Palworld violates Pokemon intellectual property and announced that it is reviewing the game.
So, is Palworld really a knockoff of Pokemon, or is it a game that Pokemon fans have been waiting for a long time? The answer to this question actually reveals the reasons behind the success of the game.
Pokemon fans' dream
Pokemon is a phenomenon that has millions of fans around the world and has been going on for 25 years. Pokemon has become a part of our culture with its games, cartoons, movies, cards and toys. But Pokemon fans have always felt like they couldn't quite get into the world of Pokemon. Because Pokemon games were generally published on Nintendo's own platforms and could not be played on other platforms. In addition, Pokemon games generally offered linear and limited gameplay and did not allow players to use their creativity.
Palworld, on the other hand, appears as a game that Pokemon fans dream of. Palworld allows players to interact with Pokemon-like creatures at will. Players can train creatures, make them fight, keep them as pets, use them as workers, hunt them, or give them weapons to hunt with. Palworld also allows players to build their own houses, cities, factories or castles. Palworld thus offers the open world Pokemon game that Pokemon fans dream of.

Another reason why Palworld has attracted so much attention is that the game is very similar to Pokemon. The creatures in the game look like almost exact copies of Pokemon characters. In the promotional video of the game, it is possible to see similar Pokemon such as Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Eevee, Snorlax, Lapras, Mewtwo. Even the name of the game starts with "Poke", which is the abbreviation for Pokemon.
This situation disturbed The Pokemon Company, the official owner of Pokemon. The company claims that Palworld violates Pokemon intellectual property and announced that it is reviewing the game. The company believes that the characters in the game damage the Pokemon brand and mislead Pokemon fans. The company also states that the game abuses creatures and contains violence, contrary to Pokemon's values.
The Pokemon Company is a company that is very sensitive about protecting its intellectual property rights. It has previously taken legal action against games, parodies, fan games or fan art similar to Pokemon. It seems possible that Palworld will suffer a similar fate.
Conclusion
Palworld has been a huge success in the gaming world. The game became one of the best-selling and most played games on Steam. The reason why the game is so popular is that it is a game that Pokemon fans dream of and is very similar to Pokemon. However, this can also cause trouble for the game. The Pokemon Company claims that Palworld violates Pokemon intellectual property and announced that it is reviewing the game. Palworld's future depends on the outcome of this review. Is Palworld a knockoff of Pokemon or a dream of its fans? Time will tell the answer to this question.
