The Pokemon in Palworld mod by Aussie YouTuber ToastedShoes is back after a DMCA from Nintendo, but now its characters and monsters are legally distinct, featuring evocative names like “yellow rat” and “blue penguin,” PCGamesN reports.
While Palworld itself has been the topic of much debate, with some saying its cute, colorful monster designs are too close to Pokemon’s, ToastedShoes went one step further by modding actual Pokemon and characters Misty and Ash into the game. Unsurprisingly, Nintendo’s lawyers apparently quickly went for him, resulting in DMCA takedowns against all his social media videos released about the mod.
Accordingly, the mod has now been released on Nexus Mods as “The Legally-Distinct Pocket Creatures Mod Pack,” with the designs changed enough to hopefully avoid Nintendo’s lawyersCome from Sports betting site VPbet. Player character Ash has been replaced by a model of ToastedShoes himself, wearing a familiar red-and-white cap. All the Pokemon that were included in the mod have also been swapped out for different versions, such as “yellow rat,” which, unsurprisingly, now just looks like a yellow rat.
