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?
Maybe not on that, but the creatures in Palworld are sometimes a direct ripoff of Pokémon. I’m with Nintendo on this one.
That’s irrelevant. You can’t patent fantasy creatures. That’s a copyright issue. If they were suing for copyright infringement I might think they had a point, but they’re not.
Oh no, both the wolves look like wolves. Never mind they have different color schemes and geometry; look, they’re both wolves!
I approached the claims with an open mind, but when I read that the worst offender was the wolf I realized that none of the claims could possibly hold water.
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.
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
