Palworld developer Pocketpair has responded to Nintendo and The Pokémon Company’s shock patent infringement lawsuit with a statement that says it’s unaware which patents it’s being accused of infringing.Overnight, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company announced the companies had taken legal action against fellow Japanese developer Pocketpair, alleging Palworld, dubbed 'Pokémon with guns' by fans, “infringes multiple patent rights.” Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are seeking an injunction and compensation for damages.Pocketpair said it will begrudgingly investigate the patent infringement claims while continuing to update Palworld despite the lawsuit, and apologized to players left concerned about the future of the game.
