Palword’s viral Pokemon mod is on ice until the creator figures out how to release it and simultaneously “avoid a lawsuit”
"Right now we a𒉰re not releasing the mod pack due to the possible legal💧 repercussions that could ensue"

The creator of a viral Palworld mod that brought Pokemon and company to the new hit survival game says they still want to release it – they just have to figure out🐬 how to avoid a Nintendo lawsuit first.
Toasted Shoes explains on that plans to release the Palworld x Pokemon mod are on ice as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo has issued a DMCA strikeꦏ against a tweet teasing their latest YouTube video. The video has gone live as planned, though you'll have to wait a littl💜e bit longer to play the mod it shows off.
"I've had countless messages over thᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe last 24 hours regarding the Palworld Pokemon mod pack and where you can get it," they say. "Today, Nintendo hit me with a DMCA strike on Twitter over the mod pack and could very much do the same to me on🐟 YouTube.
"Right now we are not releasing the mod pack due to the possible legal repercussions tဣhat could ensue. We want to release it for free and give you all a chance to play it, we just need to try go about it the right way to av෴oid a lawsuit."
The 16-minute video delivers on what the tease implied. The mod swaps the player character to Ash Ketchum and introduces plenty of familiar pocket pals – yes, Pikachu gets sent to the mines and it's very harrowing. Plot-wise, we go from Palworld'ღs starter area to the first boss, which▨ is none other than Jessie from Team Rocket.
What's different from the teaser is that the sounds have been switched around, tooꦍ. Ash sounds like their character from the anime – though I don't recall the episode where they talk about po🎉tentially having a "huge bender" the night before. You've also got plenty of familiar sounds from the Pokemon themselves.
The mod comes 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:amid discourse in the industry over whether Palworld has taken enough from Pokemon to invite legal issues. The short of it is that plenty o🀅f v✃isual character designs appear like copied homework, though creature models that appear nearly identical might be an issue.
