Pocketpair’s Palworld game is facing more accusations of using AI. The CEO’s past tweets have come up again, revealing plans to use AI to make Pokemon-like characters and avoid copyright issues.
Palworld surprised gamers when it came out. It quickly became very popular on Steam, breaking records by having over 1 million people playing at the same time within just a few days.
Yet, the survival game quickly dubbed “Pokemon with guns” has faced ongoing criticism for accusations of copying. It’s not just Pokemon; similar concerns have arisen about games like Ark and Rust.
Palworld has sparked controversy, especially concerning the Pals in the game. People are buzzing on the internet because these Pals look a lot like different Pokemon. Many now think there’s proof that these game characters are made using AI.
Palworld’s CEO, Takuro Mizobe, had old tweets about AI and Pokemon that have come back into the spotlight. In those tweets, he expressed the belief that AI could eventually avoid breaking copyright rules.

Jump to November 28, 2022, they posted on Twitter:
“If you pass it through the filter of AI, the image is often not of a specific thing, so maybe the copyright issue will be resolved? I was surprised to see that the world is actually moving in that direction. In about 30 years, the general public’s perception of copyright may have changed considerably.”
Many people are upset about the tweets, and one user said:
“This here, related to pal world, touches on a very important point regarding material made by AI: they are public domain. You cannot register AI materials as intellectual property. If the palworld studio really made stuff with AI then use it, use it A LOT”
AI is a Part of the Palworld Game’s Journey Or Not
At present, Palworld hasn’t made any official announcements regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in their game’s graphics. We’re in a wait-and-see situation, where the only way to know for sure is to wait for a confirmation from the game’s creators.
This uncertainty has sparked some criticism, especially in light of an old tweet from the Palworld CEO about using AI. The tweet suggested using AI in a way that avoids copyright issues, which has raised questions and concerns among the public and fans of the game. As of now, we’re all looking forward to more clarity on this matter.
