Pokémon's former chief legal officer "surprised" Palworld managed to get this far

The Pokémon Company's former chief legal officer Don McGowan said he is "surprised" Palworld has "got this far".

"This looks like the usual ripoff nonsense that I would see a thousand times a year when I was Chief Legal Officer of Pokémon," said McGowan. Even well before its launch, Palworld was dubbed "Pokémon with guns" due to its more violent premise of catching cute creatures ( including humans). Pokémon publisher Nintendo said it's aware of Palworld's existence, although in fairness you would be surprised if it wasn't given the amount of chatter the game has generated since the weekend.
