Patent infringement? Did they patent “beat up thing, throw ball at thing, capture thing?”
They seem to have a patent for “Pokemon Box Storage” and palworld also has a “Palbox” so maybe that?
Their list of patents is enormous. They could throw darts drunk and in the dark, miss the board completely, and still likely land on something they could claim.
Maybe not on that, but the creatures in Palworld are sometimes a direct ripoff of Pokémon. I’m with Nintendo on this one.
Nintendo should file a lawsuit against my entire ass
Kind of surprised it took this long to be honest. Also a little surprised it’s a patent lawsuit, but then again it might be easier to prove infringement on a gameplay concept you have patented rather than copyright.
