Palworld Revamps Summoning Mechanics Amid Legal Dispute with Nintendo
TL;DR
Palworld developers have released an update removing the Pal Sphere summoning method, likely in response to a patent lawsuit from Nintendo. Previously, players would throw a Pal Sphere to summon Pals, similar to the capture method in Pokemon Legends Arceus. Now, Pals appear when the Pal Sphere is held out, though catching Pals still involves throwing the sphere.
