The developer who created the popular game Paloo, which replaces all characters and pallu models with Pokémon resources, said he is still willing to share the mod with everyone, but he now needs to figure out how to avoid a lawsuit from Nintendo.
Mod developer ToastedShoes explained the situation in the channel community on the video platform YouTube after the video showing the mod on his Twitter was deleted by Nintendo DMCA copyright warning.
He wrote: "Over the past 24 hours, I have received countless messages about the Pokémon Mod Pack and where and how to get it. Today, Nintendo issued a DMCA warning on my mod pack on Twitter and will most likely do the same to me on YouTube."
He continued: "We won't be releasing the mod at the moment because of the possible legal ramifications. We want to release it for free so everyone can have a chance to play it, we just have to try to do it the right way to avoid getting into a lawsuit."
Apparently, although the demonstration video was posted on YouTube for a short time, Nintendo has also taken action to delete the video.
It's hard to imagine that he could have released this mod in any way and escaped the clutches of Nintendo's lawyers. "Pokémon Pallu" itself has been caught in the whirlpool of public opinion for "directly plagiarizing" the design of "Pokémon". The Mod directly uses the model resources of "Pokémon" whose copyright belongs to the Pokémon Company, which is owned by Nintendo. This is directly protected by law.
While Nintendo has yet to make any official comments about Paloo, a former head of the Pokémon Company's legal team recently said that he was "surprised" that the game has made it this far.
