[Former Nintendo designer Takaya Imamura talks about "Phantom Pal": Officials should take some necessary countermeasures] The recently popular "Phantom Pal" is undoubtedly the most eye-catching game in the beginning of 2024. In addition to selling 8 million copies in five and a half days, it has also become the second most played game on Steam. Because this work has a lot of Pokémon elements "sewn" into it, whether it is suspected of plagiarism (copycat) is also one of the hotly debated topics these days. Today, former Nintendo game designer Takaya Imamura expressed his views on this. He said: "It is an indisputable fact that this game has left many people with an impression that is very similar to "Pokémon". However, knowing that there are such risks, can still make the game seriously, and there can be such a creator, as far as I am concerned I'm very surprised. In fact, no matter what the work is, it will be more or less affected by other factors. The key lies in whether it has stepped further into that field! The success of "Phantom Parlu" may cause other companies to follow suit. Therefore, Nintendo should take some corresponding countermeasures. If there are a large number of low-quality games similar to "Pokémon" in the future, then the value of the IP itself will be seriously reduced, and this is the problem that should be avoided most!" Takaya Imamura joined Nintendo in 1989 and was responsible for the production of the "F-Zero" and "Star Fox" series of games. He left the company in 2021 and is currently teaching at a university. Nintendo has recently issued a statement claiming that it has not authorized this recent popular work and will investigate any related infringements and take appropriate action.
