Nintendo in general is actively toxic to intellectual property in video games. They have proven time and time again that they will abuse it whenever possible.
If I knew more about making games, I’d be tempted to make a pokemon clone game and just release it completely free. Patents can do anything about things that are similar but free. I’d have a separate but optional “Fuck Nintendo, I mean buy me a coffee” $1 donation.

It’s it because they lost?

Nintendo are toxic in general, not just IP, they’re even worse than Sony. Those 2 and Apple are brands that are an instant no-go for me.
If Nintendo can abuse the US patent system, it would seem fair for individuals to be able to freely infringe Nintendo’s copyright.
(Note if you are making a Nintendo fan-project, DON’T ANNOUNCE ANYTHING until you get your first usable build ready for release!!!)

Yeah it makes no sense. Did a deal with the devil I guess.
Kirk Sigmon, wake up. You are in a Maoist country. The patent is being allowed to pass whether you bribe or not.
