It’s kinda dumb Nintendo can file a patent for pokemon mechanics 25 years after they used them in a Pokemon game and have it be in effect today
@SilverSpectre266 February 10, 2025 - 9:14 pm
Nintendo is S tier petty for that frivolous lawsuit. They patented that ball throwing thing months after the game released in EA all because they didnt have anything else to go off of.

If Nintendo actually care, there are dozens of other creature collection games that mimic Pokemon a LOT more than Palworld does. Whether its the naming convention of creatures or IP like Coromon or Nexomon, the designs of the creatures themselves, or even the gameplay style.

So many other creature collection games out there are more closer to Pokemon than Palworld is, but the difference is none have reached the level of success that Palworld has. Also the fact that Pocketpair inked a deal with Sony for a partnership on the IP, and the last thing Nintendo wants is for Playstation to have their own big creature collection game.

Goddamned monopolies.

I'm sorry, we're just calmly moving past the "say mcdonald's to end the commercial" segment? because um WHAT THE ACTUAL SWEAR WORDS???? the way I would NEVER buy that product again.... and no don't try to convince me that saying the name of the product will make me more likely to buy it, if I'm shouting it at my television to get it to stop playing an ad, then the only thing I'm gonna think is "how DARE that company stop me from shooting that dude in the face from two feet away! I'm never buying their product again!"

I'm disappointed that you haven't expressed a stance condemning this practice. It's a blatant intrusion on freedom of speech that severely limits creativity in games and allows large companies like Nintendo to weaponize their success against their competitors.

The criteria for a patent is that the thing in question is not obvious to one skilled in the craft. None of these mechanics even remotely rise to that level. The one that gets me the most is Amazon patenting the "one click" shopping.

@snichelsticks8653 February 10, 2025 - 9:14 pm
the Sony patent on vocally ended commercials is dastardly. by the mere EXISTENCE of the patent, we are thinking of company names we'd have to shout at our screens, including Sony's. by simply making us THINK of the idea, they achieve marketing potential.

Aka the mother of all greedy people.

That commercial one can rot in hell.

5:15 Someone never played Babysitting Mama Wii where you shoved the Wii controller in the baby and you played the game like that. if you Sahke the baby you get a message from Mama "No No No Dont shake the baby,"

Immersion. The ultimate “think up random sh** and patent it” turning into a billion $
@dearthditch February 10, 2025 - 9:14 pm
My favorite copyright or patent attempt was Steven Spielberg for Raiders of the Lost Ark trying to own the term “N*zi”. (Ironically I can’t use it! 😅)
@frankkohnen516 February 10, 2025 - 9:14 pm
So no mention of how the patents for "Throwing balls at characters" were filed and have come into effect half a year after Palworld introduced the mechanic into with it's initial release? No?
Okay just wondering. Especially when you show the whole chart with the application status for the Patent at 7:03 where it shows that Nintendo filed the patent 2024-07-30, whereas Palworld was initially released 2024-01-19

"You Won't Believe Are Patented" WDYM? Greedy companies patent everything!
@lady_draguliana784 February 10, 2025 - 9:14 pm
It should be noted that "Concepts" can't really be patented, and they wouldn't likely be upheld if challenged in court... however <comma> ... simply the cost of that challenge, which could be astronomical (perhaps FAR beyond the total value of an indy game dev) isn't worth it, even if the challenger were guaranteed to win.

the Nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor is a perfect example of this, as it almost certainly wouldn't survive a challenge (as attested by numerous legal experts), but their legal budget is far greater than that of any would-be challenger. They can patent their specific code, but an independently developed version would be free and clear... but would have to go to court to the tune of many millions.

Nintendo is also known for making patents on things they MIGHT make. I recall at one point they made a patent for Pokemon brown, despite the fact that it never was made.
