Palworld It hit the market at the beginning of the year and quickly became a success. However, the attention that the title has received has not been entirely positive, since many accuse Pocketpair's work of being plagiarized from Pokémon. While Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have not issued a lawsuit, it seems that Pocketpair is going to beat them, since the developers of Palworld They accuse Tencent of copying their idea.
Through his official Twitter account, Takuro Mizobe, CEO of Pocketpair, accused Tencent of plagiarizing the idea of Palworld, since the Chinese company is already working on clones of this title, which will have a larger budget. This is what he said about it:
“Tencent is creating a Palworld clone game right now! In China, several companies are simultaneously developing mobile clones, and the budget is around 10 billion yen, 10 times that of Palworld… Next year, a big one will be released amount of Genshin quality monster (or beautiful girl) breeding games… amazing times.”

Let us remember that previous reports indicated that Tencent TiMi, the team behind Pokémon UNITEyou would already be working on your own version of Palworld. Although at the moment there is no official information from the Chinese giant, It seems that this is more than a fact, especially after the Mizobe accusation.
For its part, Nintendo has indicated that it is investigating possible cases of plagiarism with Palworldand if Tencent's work turns out to be very similar, then it is likely that the company from China is also under the eye of the Big N. We can only wait to see what will happen this time. On related topics, here you can learn more about the Palworld from Tencent. Similarly, Palworld loses millions of players.
Author's Note:
It is very interesting that the situation has reached this point. It's almost like a joke. Yes ok Palworld It has a different gameplay than Pokémon, the similarities between the designs of the monsters of the two franchises are indisputable, and if Tencent joins this trend, it will be a real version of the Simpsons joke where they point out that Family Guy is a plagiarism and American Dad is a plagiarism of plagiarism.
