Visual novel developers take swipe at Pocketpair over ‘derivative’ Palworld April Fools’ joke

Pocketpair released a video of a Palworld-themed dating sim in honor of April Fools’ Day, but visual novel developers didn’t appreciate it. In fact, they found it offensive and hurtful for the genre.

April Fools’ Day is a bizarre time in the gaming world, with fake news and release announcements left and right. Pocketpair used this opportunity to drop a video of a dating sim featuring characters from its smash hit Palworld. The “trailer” took fan-favorite Pals like Chillet and characters like the Black Marketeer and threw them into a high school setting where romance will inevitably blossom.
