Nintendo and The Pokemon Company could be looking to sue Palworld developer Pocketpair outside of Japan, but doing so might not be easy, one attorney has suggested.

Can the tension of "family friendly nice guys" and "we sue everyone and sent a disabled person to jail" really continue existing in perpetuity?

Palworld developer Pocketpair responded defiantly to a lawsuit launched by Nintendo, saying, ‘We move on.’ The lawsuit submitted by Nintendo accused Palworld of committing multiple patent infringements.

It seemed like it was just a matter of time before Nintendo sued Palworld, but the lawsuit shines light on a bigger issue in the industry.
