Pocketpair must change how Palworld works because of Nintendo's legal troubles. The game makers say they fight patent claims but need to keep their game running. Players saw changes last November when the team removed throwing Pal Spheres to summon creatures. Instead, creatures appear next to players when summoned. The company says they felt sad about this change but had no choice.
More changes come with patch v0.5.5, where players can glide only with a tool instead of riding creatures. Players will need a glider item to float through the air. Pals still help make gliding better with special powers when they travel with you. Nintendo says Pocketpair copied their ideas illegally. Pocketpair argues that some patents came after their game already existed. The case remains open with both sides waiting for court decisions.
