Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit (www.videogameschronicle.com)

With the implementation of Patch v0.5.5 this week, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

How lame. Japan needs to fix its patent laws, it's ridiculous Nintendo owns the simple concept of using an animal to fly.

it's even more stupid because that's not how the mount works in Pokémon anyway

It's how it works in Legends: Arceus, isn't it?

As described in the patent, yes. You press one button, you start riding said mount. If it's glider mount, it automatically changes to the stag once you touch the ground OR to the fish if you fall to the water.

Palworld never had this "automatic change from one mount to another", at best it was the glider pals that you didn't have to manually summon in order to glide and went away once you touched the ground or water. I've skimmed the patent a few times, but I don't recall it having a case for going from creature-assisted-gliding to back on foot
