There is a saying that comes in, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not yet come.
Just two days ago, Nintendo, together with the Pokémon company TPC, filed a lawsuit for patent infringement against "Phantom Beast Palu", which exploded this year.
Phantom Beast Palu, released at the beginning of this year, quickly broke the circle with the gameplay of ark building + Pokémon-style pet cultivation and capture, produced countless hot stalks, and became a dark horse beyond everyone's imagination, with sales exceeding 20 million copies in the blink of an eye.
However, the in-game creature "Palu" was questioned by many people for plagiarism after its release because it was too similar to the design of many Pokémon.
Many of these Palu, no matter how you look at it, look like the product of random splicing on the basis of Pokémon.
It can't be said to be very similar, but it can be regarded as exactly the same.

After more than half a year, netizens have been speculating and doubting, although there is controversy, no one can convict Palu.
Not only that, but its Tokyo-based and little-known developer, Pocketpair, also took the opportunity to turn around, not only received an olive branch from Microsoft, but even formed a joint venture with Sony.
This year, if you are visiting a lot of exhibitions, you can also see game exhibitions around the world, and there will always be a few Palu booths.
Even the black myth sales results were sticky, and Palu also gave a little rub and posted a message to celebrate X, and did not forget to emphasize that he was a game of "fighting side by side", and brushed another wave of presence.
Who would have thought that it was just a small Karami who attracted attention by stitching.
In short, looking back on this year, Pocketpair is a company that has made a lot of money, holding a variety of high-quality industry resources, and directly reaching the top of the pyramid.
However, just when everyone thought that Palu was thriving and Nintendo was too busy preparing for Switch 2 to take care of it, the two might be irrelevant in the future.
I saw Nintendo slam his hands on the court table, stretched out a finger and shouted "a pound of Yali pear",
Sue Paru.
But we all know that there is a famous saying in the game industry called "plagiarism is not plagiarism", and art plagiarism is not easy to define.
Even if it is as strong as the strongest legal department in the Eastern Hemisphere, it may not be able to be stable, how to sue Palu?
According to the analysis of Japan patent attorney Kurihara Kiyo, if you want to start, it is likely to make a fuss from the capture of Poke Balls.
After all, throwing ball capture, Nintendo has long applied for a patent.
Moreover, this patent is also a new addition to the original patent of Nintendo and TPC in 2021 a few months ago, and it is hard not to think that this is the hand that was prepared to play the current lawsuit.
But then again, the patent thing is not a dish, whoever wants to add it.
The old Ren family is indeed powerful, and the game patent in his hand is cut into ivory, which is enough to give you several sets of mahjong, if you are not in a hurry, you usually won't shoot, and once you shoot, you can stage a 100% victory.
What free camera tracks character movements, climbs ladders, opens doors, jumps obstacles, focuses on the camera in 3D, virtual joysticks, and all kinds of touchscreen gameplay, and much more.
There is also the heavyweight of the D-pad, and even the patent expired in 1994.
Therefore, some game industry analysts in Japan said that as long as Nintendo wants to sue, half of the companies in the game industry can't run, so crazy.
As for why Nintendo suddenly wanted to sue Palu, we don't know why, but we know that if Nintendo really does it, there may be 100 ways to convince you.
Anyway, Palu's side is a bit yin and yang, and he has begun to calm the player's emotions and is ready to fight.
After all, in fact, Palu's situation is still a bit delicate, although a discerning person can know at a glance that there are various references, but no one can come up with conclusive evidence, so it also has a reason not to panic.
In this regard, Palu's fans said that the Nintendo store was a big bully and somewhat unaffordable.
Palu vs. Pokémon,It's a hanging fight in terms of gameplay performance.,What kind of Pokémon technical force do you gamefreak make?,It's not that you don't know.,BUGS are flying all over the sky.,The limit frame rate doesn't exceed 30 frames.,Now there's a Palu for everyone to play.,Sales and popularity are high enough.。
Why is it dropping, and your eyes are red?
EVEN IN THE EYES OF SOME BUDDIES, NINTENDO IS SIMPLY A GAME BULLY, A CANCER IN THE INDUSTRY, WORSE THAN PC, PS, AND XBOX COMBINED.
In fact, the feud between Palu players and Nintendo, or GameFreak players, has always been in a rather awkward and messy situation.
First of all, brainless plagiarism is a shoddy behavior that players need to resolutely resist.
However, everyone understands the reason, but for some players, their position is more flexible, they like the Pokémon design, combat and cultivation system, but they can't stand the turn-based and rough graphics, and they hope that there is a game like Palu to meet their wishes, regardless of borrowing and plagiarism;
The other part is the presiding justice faction, which believes that no matter how much Pokémon can't keep up with the times, it shouldn't be a reason to be plagiarized.
Of course, there are also a lot of skewers, sunspots, brain-dead fans and people who just want to pour oil on the fire.
So every time this topic is discussed, it will inevitably lead to a quarrel.
So, this time it's the same, those who can't get used to Nintendo and those who boycott Palu start fighting again.
And the most critical evidence of plagiarism has not been determined, so the fans of both sides have been fighting back and forth.
But Nintendo has been fiercely attacked in this public opinion.
didn't tell me, Napalu just didn't copy it, and the copyist ghost quickly shut up.
Sue it, that's Nintendo is in a hurry, and it's time to see that Palu is making money.
In fact, for Nintendo's legal department, it may be simply to collect evidence during this time, just wait for Palu to make enough money, and then fatten up to get a knife, sooner or later, it will be suered.
But who would have thought that the enemy would turn against him at this time.
The designer of the phantom beast Palu,Suddenly broke the news on personal X.,Claiming that Palu did have plagiarism.,And this plagiarism was forced by the boss to do it himself.。。。
Unable to stand the conscience condemnation of being a designer, she personally packaged the evidence and sent it to Nintendo.
From this sister's post, it can be seen that he still has a little bit of his own insistence, and often wants to do something original, but is explicitly forbidden by the company.
Many times, she deliberately made changes to avoid Paru's resemblance to Pokémon.
Even after being paid more attention to this matter, Xiaofa feels that her sisters have a little problem in their hearts now, and she herself has mentioned many times that she has to rely on drugs to relieve her emotions...
I feel like a low-level employee who has to obey the arrangement for work, but has been fighting against the justice in his heart, and finally is on the verge of collapse under pressure, so he simply lifts the table, and as a result, he has to face compensation and various personal safety issues.
Some netizens said: "I got out of the circle by squeezing Palu, but I didn't expect that the one who was squeezed in the end was really a worker."
This magical reality is somewhat ridiculous.
Flipping through the artist's personal homepage, I can see a lot of her works.
I can't say how shocking the painting is, but at least it's quite stylish, Furuikong ecstasy.
Things have developed to this point, in fact, it doesn't matter whether Nintendo can win or not.
If what she said is true, then Xiaofa is also a migrant worker at the end of the world, and Xiaofa only feels quite helpless.
Finally, let's share another thing.
It's still the past two days, and another anti-plagiarism case between Nintendo and TPC has also had a first-instance verdict.
That is a copycat game called "Pokemon: Replica" in China, which was required to pay 100 million yuan in compensation after two years.
Compared to the phantom beast Palu, this one is even more blatant.
In contrast, it feels like Palu is a little clear-eyed.
However, even with a glance at the thimble, the Guangzhou company was still unconvinced.
After the first-instance verdict, it will be re-appealed, and now the second-instance trial is already on the way...
In short, a wave has not settled, and a wave has risen.
It seems that this world's No. 1 IP is really not so easy to be.
