"Legal Battle Over Palworld's Pocket Creature Mod"

TL;DR Summary
The Palworld Pokemon mod, previously taken down due to a DMCA from Nintendo, has returned as "The Legally-Distinct Pocket Creatures Mod Pack" on Nexus Mods, featuring characters with evocative names like "yellow rat" and "blue penguin." The modder, ToastedShoes, replaced Pokemon and characters like Misty and Ash with legally distinct versions to avoid legal issues. The modding community is cautious, with some communities banning Pokemon mods, and Nexus Mods refusing to host Pokemon-themed Palworld mods to avoid legal reprisal from Nintendo.
