    If this is really Nintendo’s strategy, they’re going to be hosed, even in Japanese courts. Pokemon isn’t even the first game with these mechanics, Dragon Quest (a Square Enix property) and Shin Megami Tensei (an Atlas property) had the mechanic and came out before Pokemon, plus the original Pokemon released over 20 yeares ago.

        By throwing an item at it? Patents are very specific

          Patents are very specific

          You’d be surprised at some of the gargage that sneaks past the patents office
