Palworld’s Massively Popular 1.0 Update Has Altered Several Designs To Make Them Less Pokémon-Like

Palworld's 1.0 update, released today, includes 72 new Pals, new locations, and a raised level cap. Players have noticed that several preexisting creature designs were altered—at least four Pals reworked—to resemble Pokémon less closely, though Pocketpair did not mention the changes in patch notes or confirm the reasoning. Comparisons between the previous Robinquill design and Pokémon's Decidueye were particularly blatant. The alterations may relate to the ongoing lawsuit between Pocketpair and Nintendo over Palworld's creature designs.
