Had to delve into the patent dungeon. Its large and all the names are incomprehensible.

It could be they waited to not trigger the Streisand effect too hard.

Outside of a passing similarity to Pokemon, I wonder what the suit is about

It’s about Nintendo and their rabid legal practices.

Weird. They seemed fine with it when it launched.

The lawyers had time to figure out an angle.

it’s really funny to me how obvious the… “inspiration” of this game is from pokemon, and yet nintendo has been struggling so hard to come up with something to sue them for, like i don’t really care about this in and of itself, but seeing a big company unable to remove a splinter from their toe and copyright unable to be enforced brings me joy.

They want so hard to remove false competition, that is a glorious frustration.

Pokemon is Pokemon, Palworld is Palworld. One trying to claim the other steps on their toes is hilarious. If they have merit, Doom could sue every FPS with monsters.

Stay mad Nintendo/GameFreak, you are a joke and should make better games.

They are working on a new Legends game, which is somewhat similar in gameplay.

Could be that they’d rather not have any association made.
