A Japanese IP attorney highlights a patent family that might be at the center of Nintendo's lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair.

If this is really Nintendo’s strategy, they’re going to be hosed, even in Japanese courts. Pokemon isn’t even the first game with these mechanics, Dragon Quest (a Square Enix property) and Shin Megami Tensei (an Atlas property) had the mechanic and came out before Pokemon, plus the original Pokemon released over 20 yeares ago.

Don’t we tame and capture Yoshi? Heh

By throwing an item at it? Patents are very specific

aiming a capture item at a character and releasing it using two inputs, an analog stick and a button press

Where do you catch a Yoshi using an item?

I was just telling you what the patent was

I know the patent, that was why I asked this way up there

Well, I can’t be surprised about a fact I already know, I guess
