Patent rights? You gotta be kidding me. The hell did they patent? Throwing a ball?

Apparently, in their LONG list of patents, is one for the in-game Pokemon Storage Box. Just speculation, of course, but that could be one the Pokemon Company cites.

Almost literally. They patented:

  • catching characters in thrown balls

  • calling on characters by throwing a ball

  • using captured characters to fight and harvest resources

@nonprofitparrot, if you have the links to the patents at hand, it would be grand if you can share them.

Scroll past the nintendo switch. https://imgur.com/gallery/pokemons-patent-vs-palworld-jp-7398425-b-zFDuKSc

To be clear, no official source has released these patents as definitively relevant to this case. But they sure look relevant.
