No shit, it’s already been done before in games before Pokemon.
Nintendo didn’t pay the bribe.
I’m guessing this was a case of incompetence owed to government brain drain letting it go through in the first place
I’m surprised this is patentable in the first place.
is this April Fool?
Great, now do the nemesis system
A Wild APPELLATE COURT FILING appears!
I’m for anything against patents, especially when its Nintendo 🫡
Do the Nemesis System next
Oh hell yeah. I hope this sticks, as I see it’s currently non-final. 🤞
How the fuck do you get a patent on summoning characters lmao?
Palworld is so back! Lol
I read the article. It rejected because of other similair patents. Its not getting any better. This mechanic has been around for decades now way in hell should ANY of them patents be valid.
Nintendo fanboys in total disarray
World of Warcraft has had this as a mini game for years now also.
Shouldn’t have stepped that way to begin with if you were just gonna do the hokey pokey, gov.
Please tell me this isn’t an April Fools joke….
Didn’t Tekken Tag do this first?
Ahahahha get fucked Nintendo.
Good. That was such a stupid patent.
Can I patent the concept of eating in a game? Since I doubt anyone’s thought of it before
Daily reminder that all of these „crazy Nintendo patents“ are actually incredibly specific and narrow when you look at what they actually say instead of relying on simplified headlines. This patent only applied for the specific Pokemon Legends system of being and to send the ‚mons off to battle stuff on their own, with the option to step in and take over mid-combat.
Still probably good that it got struck down, but this was never realistically going to threaten any pre-existing monster catching franchise.
Guess Nintendo didn’t offer a big enough payment.
The folks over at r/fucknintendo will love this
Good. Maybe they should go back to being a company that puts effort into games instead of being a lawyer company that occasionally makes games and sues smaller people who are better.
………….. the US government has done something I….. AGREE WITH??? There must be an error….
So Nintendo got their patent claim shut down because it conflicted with THEIR OWN PATENTS!? That is so classic Nintendo. It’s amazing they make such good games and so much money with their heads up their asses half the time.
Queria só deixar claro que briga de galo vem antes de pokemon.
Wouldn’t the Japanese patents be more important since they are both Japanese companies?
If „no one would combine these patents in real life“ is grounds for appeal, would someone doing that for the sake of it actually undermine Nintendo’s case, or is there a clause for bloodymindedness?
Get wrecked Nintendo. Sleazy Company nintendo is now.
So can we get the summoning mechanic of throwing a ball out back into Palworld? I miss it. The pal just appearing next to you isn’t as fun as throwing it into combat.
They need to revoke the patent on the nemesis system
Do the nemesis system next
Nintoddlers BTFO.
lol they are like 20-30 years too late for that patent, it’s been done so many times
Quite possibly retribution for Nintendo filing a tariff lawsuit
April Fools?
Nintendo didnt donate enough to king doland?
rounded corners patent has entered the room
I am going to patent reloading weapons in video games.
Nemesis system next please.
We’re lucky that Nintendo was stupid and waited several decades before trying to pull this nonsense.
