Nintendo continues its fight against gamers

[Spiritmon]

I do agree they very much similar. But that story was already debunked if they copy the models. It was reveal a user had already the desighs to be identical to Pokemon 3d models to incriminate Palworld. Yeah, Pokemon might be owner of the Pokemon franchise, but in the "Capture" monster mechanics. So yeah, they problably doing that just because of spite because people be complaining of their game quality for a long time.

It is very important to note that Nintendo and TPC are not suing Pocketpair over a possible copyright infringement, but a possible patent infringement.  This is wildly different because it is far less likely to deal with the creature designs and more to deal with the mechanics of how portions of at least one Pokemon game and Palworld operate.  I found that a little surprising given how...uncanny some of the creature designs in Palworld can be (*stares at the water type serperior with primarina hair*), but this definitely isn't a legal angle without at least some kind of merit.

We don't know which patents are involved yet (and neither does Pocketpair), but the speculative guesses out there right now are mainly two things:
- the method of capturing creatures.  Pokeballs vs Pal Spheres.  There's a reason a lot of indie creature collectors use devices that aren't spherical.
- the mechanics of rideable creatures.  This would have to do with not just the types of creatures being ridden, but also the mechanics of swapping between rideable creatures and similar.

I've seen a few people comparing how those mechanics work in Palworld to how they function in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.  There might be something there.  It could still be completely off base and Nintendo found something else, but one thing is for certain: they would not have taken action if they weren't confident that they had something substantial.  Nintendo's lawyers are some of the most well known in Japan, and they filed this in a Japanese court. 

This is going to be a big thing no matter which way the gavel falls.

Ugh. Why Nintendo? Just...why? They already in thin ice after they're last anti-consumer tactics. Can someone please tell me, why, when they're are this close to Pokemon AZ release, when they're need to have some credit with they're fans again, they decided this kind of bullshit?

I mean, it's already bad they're shutdown fan projects. But shutdown a no-nintendo related project? Those dirty, bastard, greed pigs! Those lazy good for nothing bastards! They want money? FINE! Instead of shot other people projects, they should start making good ones first! 

*Trying to control my boiling rage* ...I swear to God, if I could breath fire, my home would be burning right now. Gonna take a rest because I can barely control the rage I feel.
