Former Pokémon Company head lawyer says yeah, those latest Nintendo patents are a bit much, aren't they: 'I wish Nintendo and Pokémon good luck when the first other developer just entirely ignores this patent'

Pokemon Red got me through a year of boring ass 9th grade early morning study hall on my Gameboy Pocket.
With that being said, it's hilarious to me that someone else took the "pocket monster" formula and built it into something bigger and better than Game Freak or Nintendo could ever develop.
Nintendo is clearly upset about Palworld, but fuck 'em. They had over two and a half decades to improve the formula and now the best thing they can do is half-assed, low effort cash grabs; Gameplay with the depth of a teaspoon and the visuals of a smeared turd.
Try harder, Nintendo.
The fact that there are still hardcore pokemon fans out there who buy every one of their games like it's a masterpiece is crazy. They aren't even just bad, you have to put effort into making them look that shit, and the gameplay is basically still the same as i played on the original Gameboy when i was 12
I haven't played them in ages, but from what I've seen of them they're worse than we had back then. At least they tried to present some challenge. I think that's mostly gone now, like it is for most mainstream gaming.
i wonder tho, why are they going after palworld specifically? cause palworld is faaaar from being the first pokemon-inspired game, and id argue it’s not even the best one
and it can’t just be the plagiarized design allegations (which, tbf, some pals are really on the limit, not that it’s a bad thing), because if it was they’d just use their existing copyright instead of filing tons of new patents
Because it became wildly successful. Success brings notice.
