How? Nintendo don't own flying mounts surely. WoW did that ages ago and I am sure other games have as well.
Well, the mechanic is not a mount in the usual sense, but holding a flying Pal, as in you're not saddling it but holding it and letting it slowly glide down.
Sooooo, what Ocarina of Time did in 1996?
Which might be the exact reason, given it's created by Nintendo?
No, the patent involved is specifically covering Pokemon. Legends: Arceus, in particular, IIRC.
That might be true, but my point was you cannot say someone did the mechanic earlier if it's the same company.
