The Pokémon Company's former chief legal officer has said he would not take action

Asking him what he would have done when he was there carries some weight, but the thread headline is wrong. It turned a question to a former employee into a statement of intent from the company.

Unlike Pokémon’s legal department, idiot leftists apparently are unaware of the concept of sovereign immunity and why it would be futile to sue the government.

If they did, it could easily be the end of their empire in the US if the government is angry enough.

The last “lawsuit” they tried was bombing Pearl Harbor

They did not enjoy the counterclaim, I’d imagine

Regardless, we should be using Palworld anyways.

Palworld let's you catch people.

With guns.

It's a pretty open and shut case of fair use.

Satire that re-contextualizes it

If they did, I'd assume Trump would personally donate to the Palworld legal defense out of spite.

That means the lawsuits are malicious and disingenuous. That means they can challenged and thrown out. Nintendont has revealed its monopolistic hand and that can now be used against them and rightfully so.

That's not how copyright law works.

I think it's pretty clearly transformative. The fact the left is crying a river over it proves that it is creating an impact that was not present with the original work.
