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.
This is a weird patent; it seems to be describing something more akin to Pokemon Home than an actual in-game mechanic, but then the references talk about the pokemon storage system, so who knows?
Nintendo should file a lawsuit against my entire ass
Tattoo a Pikachu on there and get enough likes on tiktok and they might.
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.
This isn't some guy who has loved their products for years and wanted to express how much joy he's had from them by writing a comic about them - they can't just go sue them immediately. This is a corporation, they have to make sure that it's the right move. Come on, that's Corpo 101
Maybe they should try making a good pokemon game instead
