    For those, like me, that just wanted to see Pokemon Company’s statement

    We have received many inquiries regarding another company’s game released in January 2024. We have not granted any permission for the use of Pokémon intellectual property or assets in that game. We intend to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to the Pokémon. We will continue to cherish and nurture each and every Pokémon and its world, and work to bring the world together through Pokémon in the future.

      My translation for the first sentence is “We have received many opinions from our customers that the other company’s game released in January 2024 is similar to Pokemon, as well as inquiries if those were condoned by our company.”

      I think that shows better TPC’s statement that they got plenty of comments from people and they are very well aware of the situation, and how it reads between the lines like “OK, OK, you can stop telling us about Palworld now,” as the article suggests.
