Pocketpair says Pokemon is a “great predecessor” to the popular Palworld

The smash hit Palworld

Palworld is currently taking the world by storm selling five million copies in three days despite the game being available on Game Pass. Speaking to Japanese publication Automation, Pocketpair CEO and lead developer, Takuro Mizobe, talked about the similarities to Game Freak’s Pokemon games and said that the mainline Pokemon franchise is a “great predecessor” to what they have ultimately achieved with the open world adventure Palworld.

We make our games very seriously,” Mizobe said. “And we have absolutely no intention of infringing upon the intellectual property of other companies.”

In a separate Automation interview, Mizobe said that Palworld takes a lot of inspiration from Pokémon, as it was a “great predecessor” to both Pocketpair’s latest game and the creature-collecting genre as a whole. However, he explained that Palworld is less like Nintendo’s iconic IP and more like Studio Wildcard’s action-adventure survival crafting game Ark: Survival Evolved.
