You might notice that it takes some inspiration from the popular creature-collecting behemoth that is Nintendo’s Pokemon. It’s this familiarity that likely helped springboard it to 8 million copies sold in just the first six days since it launched this month. The similarities are striking, from the act of capturing Pals to even some of the designs themselves, and it’s even got Nintendo sitting up and paying attention now.
The internet’s main source of mods for practically any modded PC game, Nexus Mods, wants to stay off the legal radar. As a result, the site has banned Pokemon mods for Palworld. “Palworld content that is uploaded to Nexus Mods and is considered to have Pokémon-derived characters or assets will be taken down. Our normal moderation policies will apply.”
