The Pokémon/Nintendo lawsuit v. Palworld isn't what it appears to be on the surface. To the layman, it looks like an aggressive move: Pokémon lashing out at a would-be rival using whatever tools it can. But, to the careful and trained observer... there's a lot more at play. Join me as a we take a long legal look at Palworld, at Nintendo, and at a third player lurking in the shadows: the puppet master and the true aggressor.

Yes, that is my voice, singing the credit's gag. I sang American Pie at the end of the gacha video too, and a few other songs! If you like them, let me know: if not, let me know too so that I can stop embarrassing myself. Also, the parody received a copyright strike from Brazil, of all places! We'll see how that resolves, but until then, this video isn't making any YouTube income. That's why Patreon is so important. Thank you for reading! - M
