What's Happening?
Palworld, known for its similarities to Pokemon, now faces imitation with a new game called Palland on the Nintendo Switch. Palland is described as a survival, building, and exploration game, but has been criticized for its poor quality and generic assets. Despite its similarities to Palworld, Palland avoids legal issues by not featuring creature capture mechanics. The presence of such games on the Switch store raises concerns about the platform's ability to manage knockoff content.
