Popular modding site Nexus Mods has confirmed that it’s not a big fan of the idea of hosting Pokemon-themed mods for Palworld that could well attract negative attention from Nintendo’s legal department.
If you’re out of the loop, one of many points of discussion amid of the whole Palworld/Pokemon discourse – which The Pokemon Company has now acknowledged – has been the mods adding actual Pokemon to the former that’ve quickly popped up following its release. Given that some of them already seem to have attracted some negative attention from Nintendo, it’s not that surprising that one of the world’s biggest modding platforms isn’t open to the idea of hosting similar creations.
“We do think that adding Pokemon content to Palworld is a very cool idea and we understand why people would want such a thing,” Nexus Mods community manager Demorphic wrote in a statement posted to the modding site. “However, we’re not comfortable hosting this content at Nexus Mods.”
