It’s a Japanese patent. I’m not sure how it would hold up internationally, but Pocketpair is also a Japanese company and this lawsuit is entirely within the Japanese legal system. That probably gives Nintendo a bit of an advantage since they’re such a large and iconic Japanese corporation.

Copyright is already cooked, no matter where it’s located. But the way japan acts as if Pokemon invented JRPG battles is simply ridiculous.
Am I missing some bit of context? Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy still exist (and came first).
That’s what I meant with “prior art”. Nintendo’s second patent basically explains how any old JRPG worked.
