NINTENDO OWNS FLYING: PALWORLD CHANGE CONFIRMED

They don't have to
Pokefags will still buy their slop regardless

Pretty sure we're talking about patents and not copyright infringement.

And you fags will still be lining up to buy a Switch 2 for the next copy/paste Pokémon slop release.

Yeah what a great way to limit creativity in an already stale as fuck industry

Creativity

Crudely mashing other people's ideas together

Make something truly original, and it's not an issue.
IP law *forces* originality by design.

Based cutthroat Nintendo

What if the idea is good, but is used in a shit game?

no they aren't it was for gliding which most games back then had also they didn't gloat idk where you got this from also in what world is it okay to patent things that are very basic doesn't that set a bad precedent on the game industry even though it's been shit regardless of your opinion on palworld like imagine a supercoked up EA nuking every game with the same lawsuit tactic it wouldn't be fair

patent law is not copyright law
Jap patent law is wack af compared to other 1st world countries. Pocketpair is also a Jap company with Sony money in their pockets, so they're gonna have to follow said law if they don't wanna get reamed by Nintendo's lawyers.

You're a retard tendie fuck, even throwing a ball at something gets you a nintendo lawsuit, fuck off

Nintendo would outlaw the sale of all video games if it made them money

Cringe I hope Japan gets nuked again

shamelessly copying mechanics, too

nintendo stole creature gliding from ark
but okay

then how come this is the first time that happened

The desire of every company is to be a monopoly protected by the violence of the state

keep in mind a grand majority of the patents nintento is suing with were made AFTER the game came out

Pay the 90$ goy

Before nintards start infesting the thread

There's nothing truly original under the sun and there hasn't been for many decades. Anything new will always be derivative in some way of existing creations. Companies like Nintendo and Disney exploit this because they'd rather stagnate the species' artistic expression because they truly believe they came up w/ everything they made on their own (instead of building it upon the backs of those who came before them in every case). They then prevent the newer gen of creators from doing what they themselves did.
It's the same as Baby Boomers being the "fuck you I got mine" gen that reaped the rewards of their parents and then passed little to nothing down to their kids. You're either the worst bootlicker ever or you're just so brain damaged that you're a danger to this species. I can only hope one day the "truly original" nonsense in your head filters out the hole in your head you let the rest of your brains slide out of, troglodyte. "truly original" hah, what a fucking joke, you faggot. You know nothing.

Snoy should hike the shit out of the price of the chips sold to kiketendo

Nintendo is the most disgusting and cancerous company in the industry. fags who defend this shit need to be killed. this is somehow lower than even Jewish behavior

Jap patent law is wack af compared to other 1st world countries

Jap patent law is roughly the same as 95% of the rest of the world
It feels wierd because germany, england and the US are the only countries of note with a different philosophy on patents, the US being the only one that codifies the idea that patenting something first isnt an airtight way to own the idea for all eternity (post office patents lmao)

This desu.

STOP MAKING CIRCLE WHEELS! MAKE SOMETHING NEW

I would move operations out of Japan.

I said first world countries and you listed the only ones that matter

Completely right and retarded disinfo for different reasons

Nintendo is not suing over the visual similarity of creatures

This never happened?

No one got reamed in court, it hasn't gone to court yet.

The patents that are more specific are the issue but you leave out that these specific patents are so specific because they were filed AFTER palworld had already released, they are patents targeting specifically palworld that they couldn't have possibly respected because they knew nothing about them.

This sounds retarded and unreasonable because it is, it sounds like something you could fight in court and win but sometimes companies sue to see if they can get away with something. This could be them actually pushing what they can get away with and using Pocketpair as lab rats.

They also probably want to scare them and scare their partners from expanding as competition japan. This sounds fucking evil, slimey and gross because it is. Nintendo aren't good people.

We have digimon, smt and the many indie capturemon games. It's stale as fuck because the competitors aren't trying, not because of some patent.

It depends on the saturation or lack of it too. Almost no game exist in the niches that Civilization and Total War fulfill, but when the games did come along, of course people made comparisons. On the other end, there was all the fighting games that had very little differences between each other during the 90s but everyone ate them up, including in Japan.

In your favor, Palworld being Not-pokemon with guns and slavery describes it very well, but find it hilarious that it was relatively low effort EA with an some of the effort put into creativity and caring that caused it to be a high success and pissing off Nintendo in the process. Wish those dudes were in the US so they could tell Nintendo to fuck off and teach the Tumblr garbage like Cassette Beasts a lesson.

Palworld got too big and Nintendo are too powerful

When I see Palworld toys on store shelves and Palworld jokes on Family Guy, then Nintendo should be worried.

I dont care what happens to open world grind slop.

patent fuckery is common as hell in Japan. Hell Namco is the reason we don't see minigames during loading screens anymore, ignoring the fact loading screens are several seconds at the worst instead of 30-60 seconds in the worst cases.

Mini games in loading screens are irrelevant thanks to SSD

Still bullshit anyway

Only a few games in that era had those minigames and didn't get in trouble with Namco. Most likely the reason they werent common is because the devs didn't want to use it.

ITT: manufactured outrage

I don't believe there is even one actual Palslop fan on Anon Babble. It's just another excuse for the usual suspects to seethe about Nintendo.

thanks for reiterating my point I guess, I already stated that in the post.

Kill yourself tendietard

I didn't play it, but what nintendo is doing is still stupid

To my knowledge the patent stuff is common but they're rarely sued over.

What Nintendo did is especially fucked because they added onto an existing patent elements that were specifically in Palworld after it had already come out. I've never heard of anything like this.

They should rename the game to Cuckworld

noooo you can't call out disgusting jewish behaviors of companies

Doesn't Ark have this same mechanic? Hell doesn't digimon?

Palworld is Japanese. Shut the fuck up before you turn this into an L.

So where are mods that revert those changes? Don't tell me autistic people don't play this game.

tendie is so retarded he thinks you must choose sides in an debate of ethics based on the side you're a fanboy of

cant say I'm surprised

Guys Fortnite is next... its actually over for fortnite this time

Nintendo will DMCA those mods quickly, like they did with the early Pokemon mods.

Palfags

Ahahaha get fucked Nintendo, Palworld is just Pokemon but better!

Also Palfags

NOOOO WHAT DO YOU MEAN PALWORLD IS DERIVATIVE OF POKEMON?? THAT'S NOT FAIR

Karma's a fucking bitch, no?

Nintendo patent should not own fishing mechanics and baseball mechanics. Good luck for any japanese developer that try to make one of those type of games.

Ummm if it wasn't a threat why would Nintendo silence them
Typical kike tactics btw

Aliexpress Pokemon.

But enough about Modern Pokemon games.

What? Okay i can understand why pokemon mod would get nuked, but how would "you summon pals by throwing ball" have any copyright infringement, it's a mod so what power do they have over mod that doesn't use any of their IP

they read: one samefag spammer hated him because he told the truth

trying this hard

mindbroken for one year

Nintendo needs time to sue Digimon, but right now they would run the risk of losing since Bandai (?) might have enough money to win, opening up the patent to everyone. Ark was not developed in Japan and I understand America refused them most of their patent claims, making this only enforceable in Japan.

Projecting your schizophrenia won't help your argument

This entire thing has made me hate Nintendo. Suing for patents they created after the fact because they're scared of an actual competitor.

meds

>Ahahaha get fucked Nintendo, Palworld is just Pokemon but better!

True

>NOOOO WHAT DO YOU MEAN PALWORLD IS DERIVATIVE OF POKEMON?? THAT'S NOT FAIR

No problem in that.

Karma's a fucking bitch, no?

Is this REVENGE?

DMCA claims are broken. You can take down your favorite TROONber right now if you claim 3 of their videos. There is no middleman validating these claims unless the one on the receiving end disputes them. No singular person can take down a multibillion dollar company.

You can't truly say a company can just sue you because your monster companions can fly you to places, where's the lawsuit against drakengard dragon mounting, or minecraft letting you ride ghasts, Nintendo is nothing but EA for manchildren.

Other companies patent gameplay elements

Tendies:"NOOOOOO thats SCUMMY!!!!"

Nintendo patent gameplay elements

Tendies: "That's okay! Enough with the manufatored outrage! Leave my company alone!"

Nintendo can do shit like this but can’t give us certain NSO games that are still missing

People are really going to sit here and deepthroat anti competitive litigous actions that wouldn't stand in any country outside Japan because of how horrendously bullshit they are, and you are all doing it for free.

THIS
IS
REVENGE!!!111!!

People love sucking corpo cock for some reason

you're such a rebel, anon
schizoing out on an image board all day every day, now that's punk!

So wait, a japanese (or western, too?) can't have ANY gameplay function of you riding ANY type of animal companion? What the fuck is up with that? That's way too goddamn broad to be legal. Someone tell me I'm misunderstanding it here, because that's fucking retarded.

worst tumour in gaming

And now they’re encouraging price increases

Game developers are corpos too, retard

Can I get a refund since the game is so different now?

I still don't get what the "revenge" schizo poster mesns by that

Yeah
youtu.be/kDiBYHesDnQ?si=KgE-t0IrF-IjZXHs

PocketPair is a corporation.
One built entirely on shameless mimicry.

it's really only enforceable against japanese companies that are HQ'd in Japan. Pocketpair is based out of Japan so Nintendo has legal power to do it.

not even subtle samefagging

LOL
The absolute state of tendieshills

if it was any other country they would tell nintendo to go fuck themselves

Only in a shit hole like China. In America they would successfily sue pocketpair for patent infringement.

Nope it's that retarded and the patents were filed after the game had already been created specifically to sue for in court. It's clear Nintendo has deep pockets and connections in the gov. They're clearly not going to sue every company, but it's set up a framework for them to pretty much put any competitor out of business if they get too big. The fact people are defending this is unbelievable.

They were righrfully shot down outside of japan

a japanese (or western, too?) can't have ANY gameplay function of you riding ANY type of animal companion?

It's a patent, not copyright. It only pertains to that specific implementation. In other words horses in skyrim and mounts in pokemon aren't the same thing because they function differently.

The bootlickers were trying to justify the fact that Nintendo patents all kinds of stupidity as a way of defending itself from trolls, but this case makes it clear that Nintendo isn't the least bit afraid of abusing this kind of garbage when it comes to gaining an advantage over its competitors.

Kiddy Kong's name in JP is Dinky Kong

Neat.

Except they weren't. They were accepted in the US after the patent office told them to break it up into separate patents.

Why are people ITT actually defending Nintendo? This is absolutely scumbag behavior by them

Once a mod is uploaded you can't truly erase it. Just up it anonymously and let it spread through mega upload and shit

They do a little trolling.

If you've seen the leak showing theres more filters defending nintendo than all others and the jannie threads talking about nintendo related topics spamming the board you'd know why

You fool they own the Temu branded Palworld

this is stupid why not just put the games on nintendo and have both companies make money rather than sue and take each other down

Absurdly stupid, Pokemon did not invent riding on flying creatures

Why are people ITT actually defending Nintendo?

The real question is why do you think people are incapable of disliking pocketpair?
Before Palworld they weren't exactly liked and it was for this exact same reason, plagiarism. Taking things from popular indie games and throwing them together into an early access game. The only difference between then and now is that now people are using pocketpair to shitpost about Nintendo and you're falling for it.

I am pretty sure Nintendo was forced to resubmit their patent in the US because the wording didn’t fly in English and they were asked for clarification, at least that’s what I remember hearing

What would that solve? It's not about money or competition.

Palworld got too big

The only reason Palworld is the only coattail-rider that got targeted is because of the plagiarized monster designs.

nintendo own flying mounts now?
well that just confirms how i've felt about copywrite and, especially this shit like that one game that thinks it owns minigames on a loading screen for 50 years

fuck the law.

Why didn't the plagiarization court case take off then?

You're being disgenous. No other pokemon clone had 2 million player count for weeks these days . Tem tem could never

This is why we need AI controlled legislation and rules. An AI would be completely fair and would NEVER allow Nintendo the win here. But what you witness here is the corruption of the system at work. A unified global AI could right everything wrong with human nature

Nta but Temtem has a distinct artstyle from Pokemon (extremely gay)
Palworld has designs that look like fucking img2img of Pokemon like the Goodra+Meganium hybrid

Yakuza Nintendo is still a thing?

Get Down Square Enix

Nintendo would've patented the glider because of BotW causing the trend in all following games.

not since the Yakuza basically died as an organization

Source?

pokemon clone

What exactly makes palworld a pokemon clone?
It doesn't even play like that at all

yeah
by killing everyone.

how do you prevent people from breaking any law, remove the people.
don't let logic machines control organic beings ffs

And the shit was better than the last 10 mainline Pokemon games

Somehow I'm reminded of Kanye's newest song.

Japan companies when stealing copywritten ideas

:D

Japan companies when other companies use copywritten ideas

>>>>>>>>>>:(

Nintendo has blatantly stolen so much shit and got away with it because they are Yakuza in disguise.

Your using the word plagiarism as if they sued them for copyright which they didn't so that holds nothing considering they sued them for basic ideas that anyone else could came up with like gliding

Kek

how do you prevent people from breaking any law, remove the people.

don't let logic machines control organic beings ffs

I'm organic and have reached the same conclusion desu

Couldn't you do this in builders 2 as well? Trying to remember

Fuck Nintendo

They should make an "inofficial" patch that adds back in the patent trolled shit and upload it onto some mod site.

Good job Nintendo in dealing with criminal scum.
Hope Bandai or Capcom won't fuck you over because you break a dozen of their patents and just set a precedent.

Didn’t Yo-Kai Watch threaten Pokémon at one point?

That's exactly the thing anon, they make much, much more money with merchandise than with the games

Before Palworld almost nobody knew they even fucking existed.

But muh plagiarism

People didn't care then and people still don't care now, the only people who care about this stupid plagiarism thing are a few dedicated autists.

Sungrand pls

You can't even fly on your Pokémon in the games.

That did happen but the japanese patents are at the center of the pocketpair lawsuit which are what I'm talking about.

Inshiteroar is such an ugly design worse than any Palworld monster

the merchandise is in the weird world of requiring the games to make new merch. at least from Pokemon Company's perspective.

when are they adding sex minigames with pals?

Nintendo is degenerate. Anyone supporting it should be killed.

it's funny because gamefreak copied yokai watch when they were the top dog and no one batted an eye

You can in Scarlet and Violet and it's as bad as you can imagine in that shit game

they're going to shift to TCG bullshit and end abandoning vidya

Look at how you triggered said usual suspects lmao

Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

And this is a problem in a world where restoration mods exist because....?

Kill those who work at Nintendo. This is a call to violence

I thought Nintendo also owns gliders.

it's ok when Nintendo does it

actually both sides are bad mmkay

Textbook pilpul.

Nips and jewtendo npcs are insane

They're not being sued for copyright infringement.

The fact they have to keep removing shit means that Pocketpair are gradually losing

That's worthless
if you want to threaten nintendo properly, make it a moral right to steal switches

That Mihoyo Pokemon clone can't come out soon enough. Let's see how much the Chinese care about laws.

the merchandise is in the weird world of requiring the games to make new merch

True, but the Pokémon brand is so valuable and recognized by the public that by this point they don't need good games to keep new content rolling, they just need "any games"

Cool, so why is the current discussion about Nintendo being Patent Trolls.
How does this relate to nintendo PATENTING BASIC FUCKING HAVOK ENGINE FEATURES FOR BREATH OF THE WILD/TEARS OF THE KINGDOM?

Get rekt thieves

AIEEEE NINTENDO SAVE ME!!

blatantly exploiting likeness to Pokemon with derivative craft-slop gameplay

Sorry i dont remember any pokemon game that let me shoot pokemon in the face, dodgeroll or even have it be live action instead of turn based.

Nintendo is too pussy to attack Mihoyo, they rather take on the kid across the street and sue them into oblivion

All those flying mounts in FF14
It's so over

FIX YOUR GOD DAM LAWS USA. This is still a legitimate law, this is what you voted. Nintendo is just following the law.

Nintendo files lawsuit

HAHA PALWORLD IS GOING TO DIE ANY DAY NOW!!!!!!

One year later

game's going stronger than ever

HAHA NINTENDO IS WINNING THIS IS WHAT WINNING LOOKS LIKE!!!!

This is fucking sad, you can tell tendies have given up all hope of nintendo ever killing Palworld and have to settle for scraps like this

Cry to someone who cares

Rockstar should sue nintendo. They did whistling to call your horse way before breath of the wild

Looking at Japanese law i can see why every Cyberpunk writer made the evil, corrupting corporate entity a Japanese company

Wowbros… We’re next…

stronger than ever

It just lost flying.

Maybe remove the dodge roll and live action based.

I can't wait to "play" and waste my money on chink gacha shit! That'll show Nintendo and the tendies on Anon Babble!

The absolute state of Nintendo haters.

Nintendo invented flying???
Damn I guess I was still riding a horse on WoW all this time.

opens steam workshop

apparently it didnt

I honestly don't blame them, suing a massive Chinese company is basically suing the Chinese government. It kills their entire brand in China.

game's going stronger than ever

lfmao, Palworld is dying off and Nintendo are getting them to make more and more concessions.

Werr werr werr…rooks rike mistah pocketo pairu think just because Pocket Monsters has a few bugs in the system he can stear our ideas…ret’s see how he handle a few buggaru in HIS system…

Who gives a fuck about palworld in 2025?

That isn't even flying, it's just gliding.
With that said the few times you could fly would probably go back to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

BASED

SWITCH 2 PREORDERED BTW

This, tell people how and where to pirate/steal Nintendo games if you really wanna piss them off.

Alot of AAA companies would beg for even a consistent 15k on Steam

Holy shit I just finished pokemon legends arceus and it may been worst "game" Ive ever played. They did add flying though at the end but its so dogshit you cant actually go up as far as I'm aware you can only nosedive or fly forwards into a mountain to switch to mountain climbing sneedle pokemon or something its completely tacked on and useless except for one npc thats just an asshole and climbs up without flying anyways

Your using the word plagiarism as if they sued them for copyright

I don't really need to say anything here because this speaks for itself but just for those who didn't notice, plagiarism doesn't specifically refer to copyright, plagiarism is the act of presenting ANY form of work as your own.
So whether its a copyright or patent it's still plagiarism.

they sued them for basic ideas that anyone else could came up with like gliding

No, again, this isn't about copyright, it's a patent. They aren't being sued for the concept of gliding, which no one can own, they're being sued for the mechanic that allows for gliding in game, gamefreak had made their own method that isn't in any other game, palworld plagiarised that.

It isn't a hard concept to understand.

May we see Pokemon’s concurrent player count..? To compare

DLC added actual flying and a Superman 64 time attack

I haven't played Palworld since the nail nerf. A cheap way to get bullets was a crutch for me that stopped me from realising how bad the combat was. Relying on pals for most of the damage is a dreadfully boring experience but it's still ten times faster than grinding for bullets.

It's crazy that they have different difficulty sliders but almost nothing affects grind. No was to adjust store prices or change crafting costs. It's difficult to care about a developer who doesn't respect my time. I'd probably still be playing it of they weren't so obsessed about their grind.

25K players every day

dying

kek try zooming in, tendie

Theres a webm showing the comparison of Palworlds flying and Scarlet and Violet's flying and wew lad wtf was Game Freak snorting

You could fly and glide with Braviary in Pokemon Legends Arceus that's where the patent came from and it's pretty obvious Pocketpair just copied it.

Oh well I take it back then.
Never touched the DLC so I didn't know.

Before Palworld almost nobody knew they even fucking existed.

And yet we still talked about how shit craftopia was.
arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/510270425/#510270425
Whether you want to accept it or not what's new here is the shitposting about Nintendo, not the criticism of pocketpair.

So which fucking pokemon game patented which version of what?
Is this the omega ruby alpha saphire mega latios/latias thing that was basically just an airship from final fantasy?
Or is this koraidon/miraidon gliding from scarlet and violet?
Does it effect riding around on birds and dragon pals like gta planes or does it effect specifically using the manta ray fortnite glider?
How the fuck does nintendo own any of this shit? Are these mechanics going back in after pocketpair undeniably proves that other games used these mechanics before pokemon and pokemon never attacked anyone besides palworld?
Or is it a forever change that modders will simply undo?

but braviary isnt a captured creature, it was given to you as part of the story and you summon it via flute, not with a ball
so it doesn't match the patent either, and afaik no actual pokemon game has that ability either

I could ride flying dragons in Skyrim decades before Arceus, Bethesda should sue Nintendo

Anon Babble: gatekeeping is le based and le heckin redpillederino

also Anon Babble: nooooooo you can't use le heckin copyright that's le heckin gatekeeperinoO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dislike Pocket Pair, so Nintendo is justified in doing the most vile patent trolling against them.

That's retarded. This has nothing to do with liking or disliking Pocket Pair, this is a case of fair practices and the decisions being made here are a massive blow against parody and the protections it should be granted.

You can do that in a lot of games though, that's a really obvious idea, see
also SotC, Genshin, the list goes on

What does Pocketpair need to beat Nintendo here? Besides common sense saying Nintendo is full of retards, that is. Common sense isn't a strong enough case, sadly.

Pocketpair has a strong case against Nintendo because they can rightfully claim invalidity on the infringed patents. Nintendo's patents are, without a shadow of a doubt, invalid.

Nooooo not my heckin temu mons

Are you pretending to be retarded or are you actually retarded? No, we never supported patenting game mechanics

It doesnt even look any similar to the pal world thing.
Also didn't Banjo kazooie did this same thing almost 30 years ago?
And imt pretty sure there have been a lot of games that let you glide holding a bird animal way before legends of Arceus.

Then if it's such a strong case against Nintendo, why are they folding so much?
Don't forget Nintendo lost a lawsuit against a supermarket in fucking Costa Rica.

What does Pocketpair need to beat Nintendo here?

Move out of Japan. This patent shit only applies to Jap companies, just move out of that hellhole

thats still a lot of players though i dont know how people think 20k is a flop like this game has been around for 1 year also not to mention the game does temporary drop an update and the player count goes up so idk what's a flop to Anon Babble's eyes to be honest and it does way better than most modern EA games

AAA niggers bullie indie devs

indie devs are the best thing thats come to gaming and whenever one gets a home run AAA does whatever it can to try and dick them

nintendo patent laws the fuck up even making patents after palworld releases literally patent trolling because japan courts are nintendo dick riders

balatro after almost winning the game awards gets age restricted 18+ meanwhile the most predatory games of our time gacha are not 18+

Schedule 1 ends up in a copyright battle

vice.com/en/article/schedule-1-community-are-outraged-after-rival-drug-dealer-simulator-defends-investigation-into-copyright-infringement/

because japan is nintendo's home turf
other countries can tell nintendo to fuck right off, but japan will bend backwards to appease them

Its just gliding in arceus too and youre on a glider carried by pokemon not actually riding a pokemon you caught its objectively better controls and designed in palworld as well

bait Nintendo into suing you by making a pokemon knock off and advertising your pokemon knock off ark clone as a pokemon knock off

get sued

No way

Not surprised retards are still trying to defend palworld even after designers for the game literally came out and said they were told to plagiarize for the game or they wouldnt get paid

no response

I can’t wait for tendie freaks to defend paying $90 for kusoge that barely runs on “next gen” hardware, kek.

It's literally nothing like pokemon.

It's really easy to spot people who haven't played the game.

This but for Israel to get nuked instead

Nintendo operates the yakuza in Japan. They have majority seats in the diet. They're literally in control of one of the world's biggest crime syndicates and the Japanese government. They can do whatever they want.

Ironic because everything from japan is stolen.

As someone who has, it in fact is too much like pokemon

Couldn't they divest, or have a shell company in another country, to shield them from this bullshit?

making shit up now

nintroons are not having a good day

HAHAHA look at this liberal cuck seething. nintendo won HAHAHAHAHAHA

It doesn't really matter how ridiculous Nintendos lawsuits are since they have 1000X the legal muscle over Palworld

It's always funny to see retards championing a survival-crafting slopfest of all games, one of the hackiest genres ever, just because they copied and tacked on pokémon.
Meanwhile their next game is one of the fucking endless Hollow Knight clones except if of course has farming sim mechanics for some reason.

They aren't being sued over the designs fucking retard, please stfu if you don't know what you're talking about.

It's very dumb but it also shows how afraid these big companies are of indie games now. Nintendo had to be legitimately terrified to sue Palworld since they never sued any of the smaller Pokemon clones. The cracks in the AAA industry are appearing, hopefully it crashes and burns soon. The current state of AAA gaming fucking blows.

How the fuck does nintendo own any of this shit?

Because they did it in that way first and patented it years before pocketpair had shown that Palworld had it which is extremely close to release

Are these mechanics going back in after pocketpair undeniably proves that other games used these mechanics before pokemon and pokemon never attacked anyone besides palworld?

Most likely not, Pocketpair doesn't have much of a case as to why they made them so similar especially given Takuro or whatever his name is already admitted that his whole thing is just copying from other games in an interview for overdungeon. Then there's the fact that every other instance of gliding prior is different either being initiated differently or controlling differently, take SM64, Ace combat and pla for example.
Gliding in Mario is initiated with 3 jumps.
Gliding in ace combat is initiated by letting go of accelerate.
And pla is a single button mount that doesn't allow you to gain any altitude.

There's absolutely no out for them, and judging by that same overdungeon interview they clearly didn't even know patents existed.

Anon Babble newfags will cheer for billy mitchell winning a court case but suddenly go into denial/damage control when nintendo does it

was there actually any confirmation they worked for because they're tweets about them it was complete radio silence all a bunch of things that dont add up

palworld

creativity

AHAHAHAH LMAO LOOK AT THIS DUDE

It's a fun game

but genre bad

Not as bad as JRPGs

I kinda hope China releases a Pokemon clone and it drives Nintendo into an eternal seethe.

indie devs

They're backed by Sony now, so hardly indie devs.

Uhhh when did pokemon games let you shoot people with AK's whilst your buddy auto attacks?

Again, showing you've never played the game.

Because they did it in that way first and patented it years before pocketpair had shown that Palworld had it which is extremely close to release

But this patent was filed after Palworld started being made

Honestly wouldn't surprise me if they have some deep connections

was there actually any confirmation they worked for them because they're tweets about them became complete radio silence and bunch of things that dont add up didn't really get confirmed

You can't have legal muscle anon, you've been watching too much Simpsons.

THIS. If you think a random guy shouldn't be harassed by an obsessed youtuber then you MUST support patent harassment by Nintendo. It's just common sense

Isn't there one in the making right now?
And it has mounts too

this tbqdesu

Because they did it in that way first and patented it years before pocketpair

Except they didnt. Legals docs show all those patents were filed after Palworld released

Already happening.

You're a perfect example. Defending open-world survival-crafting slop. The actual good games in this genre can be counted on one hand and Palworld isn't part of them.

You can't copyright 'using an animal to glide in a video game' you FUCKING retard.

Meanwhile Spectrobes is flat out dead.

Name 1 other game like this

inb4 Ark

You haven't played it

This. The patents aren't even a year old yet, which is hilariously pathetic.

It was filed in 2021.
The US ones were also filed in 2022 but were repeatedly rejected for wording until 2024 which is where your confusion comes from

they clearly didn't even know patents existed.

that's a really big thing w/ patent law. most people have no idea the patents exist and patent trolls sit on the patents so they can collect free money whenever someone decides to use something they patented. big companies might have a lawyer to check through all that shit but smaller devs don't. it creates a situation where the massive devs that got in early can keep smaller devs down if they get too big for their britches. it's super scummy.

But pokemon gliding has never included a fucking grapple hook slingshot like just cause.

post a fact

n-no ur lying! My beloved pokeclone would never!!!!!!!!

Absolute retard, holy shit

The finger of the monkey paw curls

But every Pal or Mon is a gacha pull and you can't catch them overwise.

Cool but that has nothing to do with Nintendo blatantly filing patents just to patent troll a smaller rival company.
Nintendo's success here has incredibly negative implications for the industry as a whole.

one in the making

There's a bunch. Honkai: Nexus Anima, Azur Promilia, Roco Kingdom

NTA but everyone is screeching 'It's pokemon but with guns' did not help.
And even then it gets called a cross between Pokemon and Ark now.

Where did I say they were being sued over the designs...? Are you schizophrenic? Blind? Illiterate? Honestly mostly likely all the farts you've been snorting has been screwing you up..

lmao

Not really. They're most likely suing them just because Sony backs them up now.

Let's go a step beyond. The not-Pokemon are caught by gacha, but there are regional gacha that are exclusive to certain parts of the world and you have to go to a specific physical location in the region, verify that you are really there and only then you will be able to roll the super-special gacha for the exclusive not-Pokemon.

China has the best not-Pokemon statswise. There is mandatory PvP to progress in the game.

actual good games in this genre can be counted on one hand

And what are they? I played a bunch and they all sucked balls, Palworld is way more fun. Grinding boring tasks to unlock a new table is just not rewarding for me

nintenGODs wonned

Kek I love when Nintendo makes resetera trannies seethe. They are absolutely seething at this

They got fired and then deleted their tweets

Japanese law is such a clownshow holy shit.

Did Nintendo actually win a court case? Or is this all preemptive? Or did the settle out of court? Because all of this would affect my opinion of this news in nuanced ways.

Nintendo saved gaming with the NES and then lived long enough to see themselves become the villain.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

Isn't that something pokemon already did?
Like pokemon events or through a cinema visit for a new pokemon movie

This. Us straight men love patented game mechanics. No hecking way do I want to see mounts in any game other than Pokemon because I am straight

Because they did it in that way first and patented it years before pocketpair had shown that Palworld had it which is extremely close to release

It wasn't, the divisional patents are apart of that earlier patent but they're claiming priority based on the date of the first patent.

This isn't how divisional patents are supposed to work, they're supposed to separate claims if the patent office says there are too many things claimed in the original patent or pursue patents that talked about in the original patent that weren't expanded on.

What nintendo did was add new things or new mechanics to a divisional patent, abusing the patent system for private gain.

It's funny how horseshit Temtem actually is just because of it being an online game

based
we won

Everyone knows what you meant retard, you saw the dunkey video and think yellow cartoon character = pikachu.

big companies might have a lawyer to check through all that shit but smaller devs don't.

No, what I mean is that they didn't know the concept of patents existed.
news.denfaminicogamer.jp/interview/190906a

There are no copyrights for functions like there are for illustrations, and if there seems to be no problem, I will copy it in an instant.

In a way, but wasn't that you were handed out a copy of that event-exclusive Pokemon? This is all about the RIGHT to roll in the exclusive gacha, and maybe you will get lucky and those 800 rolls you saved up hits you with that 0.000138 chance to obtain the *******-rank ultra for your team.

Uh oh!

even so why didn't they show receipts that worked with them or even got fired by them hell even showing a image where they work would've been enough standalone evidence to show that they worked with them

Wait but Nintendo stole gliding from BoTW.

Subnautica (only the first one)
Don't Starve
Terraria (if you count that one for the genre)

[HOMO PROJECTION]

side that lost btw

Don't be disingenuous.
ign.com/articles/palworld-vs-pokmon-comparison-just-how-similar-are-the-designs

Nintendo cannot sue for copyright or trademark infringement, but most "pals" would fit right in with Pokemon.
So, in retaliation, Nintendo pursued a patent infringement case.

Not what they patented, retard :)

shamelessly copying mechanics like gliding using a monster

which has never featured in Pokémon

but has featured in a bunch of non Nintendo games just fine

Nice projecting, tranny. I don't even care about pokemon I just like seeing retarded liberal faggots seethe at nintendo for winning on court. it makes leftists seethe and leftists tears taste the best

WTF bro we straight men shouldn't fight each other. Let's stand in a united front in support of patented game mechanics. Ain't nobody letting people ride mounts on my watch, except for my beloved Nintendo. Am I right bro

most "pals" would fit right in with Pokemon.

So would most generic animals.
Speaking of disingenuous.

Your argument is incoherent.

TH-THEY COPIED

okay they're technically legally distinct...but... THEY STILL NEED TO SUE THEM BECAUSE....THEY JUST DO OKAY

Actually think about what you're saying before you say it.

You're misrepresenting the patent

I still like luxray more

That "pal" isn't even In the game retard.

paltrannies lost in court btw idk if that matters

but that has nothing to do with Nintendo blatantly filing patents just to patent troll a smaller rival company.

I mean, they didn't do that either to be fair.
j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/c1801/PU/JP-2023-092953/11/en
This is dated December 2021, three years before the release of Palworld.
They're kind of fucked here.

Imagine thinking an abstract concept that isn't even scarce can be subject to property rights and be "owned" lmao couldn't be me

I can't fucking wait for Shitendo to die in my lifetime

Legends Arceus had dodge rolls and Scarlet/Violet had real time auto battles

So. much. this. As long as I can own the libs I want that Nintendo cock up my ass

Click division, see the part labeled 2024?

That's the part they're being sued over.

So. much. this. As long as I can own the libs I want that Nintendo cock up my ass

Legends Arceus had dodge rolls

WTF did they pay mr. Miyazaki for his game mechanic

so when are they going after genshin?

You're the only one saying it can.
Everyone else is saying you can't own something until you realise it with a tangible application or object.

dont forget the new legends game has real time battles similar to digimon world

Don't you need to enforce your patents evenly or you lose them? If you sue one game with flying mounts then you need to sue them all to enforce the law evenly?
Is it different in Japan?

snoytranny eric seething itt

This, all of us normal people love patented game mechanics. What a freak

karl jobst lost and got btfo by billy

nintendo beat palworld

LMAO trannies keep getting BTFO

Good. They ripped off everything pokemon and still get to sell their game somehow. Their ai slop tier methodologies are coming back to bite them in the ass.

You deserve rape.

They ripped off everything pokemon

where is evolution, turn based battles, etc

Anti-palworld fags have been this disingenuous since the beginning, this is why people hate them and make memes making fun of them.
The funny thing is that They are probably genuine retards who will believe anything just to hate more Palworld.

"Creativity and original ideas are for other companies to do. All we do is take what's popular to copy and mash them together."

WTF WE GOT SUED AND ASS RAPED IN COURT?!

Good. Fuck Pocket pair and their lack of originality.

Unlike trademarks or copyright, patents can be selectively enforced and it won't hurt your case.

not to mention it looks so bland and boring

bros please not like this......

Anon, it's the same patent.
The division only pertains to their most recent attempt to register in America which is irrelevant since they're being sued in Japan using the original 2021 patent.

Funnily enough this is exactly why you can't use your mounts as pets

And anti-anti-palworld people are just as retarded. You guys act like the game didn't start as a joke concept of "pokemon with guns"

You know that doesn't change anything right? They're still part of that original filing in 2021 which is what they're using.
The divisions are worthless.

Pocketpair makes a better monster catcher than TPC has in years

This makes nintendo seethe and force petty parents (that get shot down sane places like the US)

It's only downhill for nintendo from here. 80$ games and the laughably overpriced switch 2 further cement their irrelevancy.

NINTENDO OWNS FLYING

how is this even possible?

Can you stop replying to yourself?

because of the plagiarized monster designs.

you mean how Nintendo stole designs from other japanese companies but got away with it because of how rich they are?

yet it succeeded nintendo should've pulled a power and acquire palworld and take all the money for themselves

>Pocketpair makes a better monster catcher than TPC has in years

its because your not allowed to do this, do you know why no new call of duty type game has emerged other then valarant? because blizzard would dick it, if any random joe made valarant it would of gotten the blizzard dick but since riot made it its to costly and would be more trouble then its worth to try and dick.

that get shot down sane places like the US

Didn't that only happen because it wasn't clear enough?
I heard that it did eventually go through.

You're not even trying.

This isn't a legal argument but an ethical one.
The legal argument is being litigated.
Palworld brazenly aped Pokemon and is diluting and tainting the IP by the similarity of its designs.
Pals will be misremembered as Pokemon in a manner of "Mandela Effect", and Pokemon designs will meld with their "legally distinct" counterparts in public consciousness.

This isn't just about Nintendo or Pokemon, jackass.
IPs are created by artists and are conceptually more than just appearance.
It's the connotations, the values the represent, the audience they attract (whether they want to or not), etc.
When someone can take your iconic design and make it *just* legally distinct enough to avoid running afoul of copyright then proceed to taint it by association with things you don't support, it's a moral and ethical problem.

No, the boy in the image is not "legally" Calvin.

Nintroons are upset two colored animals look alike even though they are legally distinct.

They should relocate and fuck with shitendo as much as possible

You're not even trying.

WOW, HOLY SHIT, SO ORIGINAL! HOW DO THEY COME UP WITH THIS STUFF!

Is this the part where you post the DQ picture where there's not a single monster that shares design aspects that didn't come from the original animal?

Just don't update bro

Yeah, because of the lawsuit.
They modeled and teased it.
Nevermind the plethora of others.

It's not that it wasn't clear, it's that they were grouped together.
They had to divide it up which funnily enough makes it more broad.

Palcuckbros...

Fuck Nintendo

Nothing is "original". Pokémon was just an adaptation of bug-fighting tradition in Japan, previous JRPGs and shonen anime.

Based Nintendo can't stop winning. This and the amazing financial results from today have been hillarious to read thanks to all the haters. Nintendo was, is and always will be the King of Videogames.

Fuck Nintendo and fuck patents. Imagine if they patent anthropomorphic creatures moving.

It was never supposed to be a joke but the game was never expected to blow up as much as it did and become this popular through hype, the devs said that second part themselves.

So, who's your favorite Pal, Anon Babble?

sony

isn't this managed by microsoft sis? Remember the whole game pass thing?

Dead game lmao

But enough about Pokemon ZA

Fuck Pocketpair

But enough about Pokemon black and white

Pocketpair are desperate by the way, they're going full whataboutism making the same concept = implementation mistake that their fans are.
The icing on the cake is that no less than four of their examples are games Nintendo owns INCLUDING Legends Arceus, the game they're being sued over.

They are legitimately retarded.

First of all, this is a japanese patent being filed in japanese courts, second that's literally not how divisions work.

They abused the divisional patent system to add new things onto the original claim
They just spontaneously decided to add divisions to a 2021 filing in 2024 because they felt like it after palworld came out and those divisions just happened to specifically target palworld? and that makes them not patent trolling? You know this is crazy right?

copyright and patents are commie garbage change my mind

but enough about scarlet violet

do they... need a video game sexpert for this lawsuit? I'm available as an independent contractor if so.

Moar spiders more spoders give spooder need spiderrrs gib spaida

Sony built an entire division for it. Pocket pair basically backstabbed Microsoft the moment they got the chance.

that's literally all you can do to fight a patent, you list previous examples to invalidate it
though its weird to use nintendo's own games

but none of the shit you just said matter because pokemon would still be pokemon while palwolrd will be palworld its the people comparing them both when none of them even play the same also aped means imitate so almost all games that play like pokemon or have cute monster basically fall under this category so who cares if they aped on their dumb kiddie art style

First of all, this is a japanese patent being filed in japanese courts, second that's literally not how divisions work.

They abused the divisional patent system to add new things onto the original claim

Anon, if you're going to make a claim dont ruin your argument by only presenting two lines that effectively say

I'm right I said so!

and leave it at that.

vidya is unironically dead

That only comes after you post the pal vs pokemon comparison which reveals they look nothing alike

Pokemon Scarlet/Violet just became the best selling non Gen 1 Pokemon game ever.

you list previous examples to invalidate it

The problem is that because of their sheer ignorance they have no idea what they're even arguing. This isn't a matter of games just having throwable balls or gliding, it's how they were made and function. They're absolutely going to fuck themselves.

they're going full whataboutism

That's how you fight a patent you absolute retard, you cite examples of other people doing the exact same thing to prove that the patent filer has no grounds.

You absolute waste of semen.

So... May we see it's concurrent players count right now?

Intellectual Property is a scam
What do you mean you "own" an idea?
Why are we applying scarcity to things that aren't scarce?
It's the same retarded logic as the monkey jpeg people except its codified into the law of every major nation for some reason.

● This isn't a problem
● Palworld were asking for it
● 90 dollars is fine for the entertainment value Nintendo products provide
but snoys will still use this as opportunity to spread Nintendo hatred

the pokemon killer

lol, lmao even

Pocketpair are just chancers, their arguments really are just some shoddy forum argument that might convince a bunch of dumbasses on social media but are unsubstantial.

I'd wager when Nintendo win on patents they're just going to open a 2nd lawsuit against them on the designs copyrights and bleed them dry.

Cute spooder

NTA but I don't think you list a game Nintendo owns as one of those examples.

Yeah, maybe the palworld devs shouldn't have gotten cocky to the point of taunting Nintendo about it.

They honestly kinda deserve to be made an example of

Has anyone noticed autists are obsessed with novelty? They always scream

ARK did it first

Pokemon did it first

So? It doesn’t matter

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisional_patent_application
A divisional patent application, also called divisional application or simply divisional, is a type of patent application that contains subject-matter from a previously filed application, the previously filed application being its parent application

Divisional applications are usually intended as apart of the original patent. Nintendo Filed the divisional patents AFTER palworld had already came out. So we have to take their word for it that they aren't being patent letigious and they just 'forgot'

The noodle

Palworld is better than any pokemon game
Patents are cancer on the games industry
Copyright law is faggotry in general
No video game is worth more than $40 and I will pirate games that never go on sale or get pc ports.
Sony and nintendo are both cocksucking faggots that hate based anime games and I will pirate any game that censors any loli adjacent content.

Which FOTM died faster, this or Marvel Rivals?

game markets iteself as pokemon with guns and steals pokemon's designs, everything from the monsters to the balls to the gameplay even the icons for things like elements

gets btfo in court

What's the problem here? They could have done their own thing that would not have been sued like other pokemon clones did in the past but they deliberately made it as close as possible, made a bunch of money because of that and are now going to lose all that money to Nintendo

FUCK NINTENDO!

Nothing threatened spokesmen, It's to much of a religion to ever be shot down but whenever another monster catcher type game comes along they project their own insecurities on to the game calling it a "Killer" cause they can't accept this game is better than the highest grossing franchise games that aren't gatcha slop.

Get help

They're not obsessed with novelty, they're obsessed with the thing they saw do it first.

They then get emotionally invested in it as a concept and treat it like a friend, thinking that anyone who does something similar is actively hurting their friend and they need to rush to its defence.

flying on the back on a creature is trademarked by Nintendo

Clown world.

since when does nintendo have the rights to hold onto an animal to glide? that's fucking dumb

I hate how litigious Nintendo are, but I'll give one thing to them, no company has ever been so thoroughly, utterly fucked by piracy as Nintendo. Most companies get their games pirated, but not Nintendo, they got their fucking hardware pirated and I don't mean emulators I mean they were making literal 1 to 1 knockoff copies of their consoles. I don't like it but I can see why Nintendo has such hatred of piracy and they're so protective of their IPs.
Still, they're going to be eaten by China and in 5 years Game Freak will be fucked so hard.

Copyrighting 'mechanics' in games is retarded. Why are Japanese so fucking anal about that shit when their entire modern society is based on borrowing western tech and knowledge in 1868? Can the Germans now sue them for their medical system? Can the British sue them for their road infrastructure?

You mean fucking Dumbo!

they did Too bad people focus on the design parts than the actual facts that game don't really play like pokemon besides like 2 mechanics which are really basic

They filed a bunch of patents just to screw over PalWorld. It doesn't matter that many of those concepts has been used long before them for a number of things.

That's why this is so insidious and why Japan's patent laws are so shit.

Fuck palworld and fuck palworld fans
You already got your edgier pokemon game
Digimon
For 25 years
And you IGNORED it

There is only thing in this game that acts like pokemon that's the boxes you store the pals in everything else is Ark, The Forest, 7DTD etc etc

Kill yourself

By this logic Nintendo can't do anything about the 3 foot Eeveelution sexdolls they make in China now, because I am sure they don't have a patent of sticking your dick into blue ice dogs.

Digimon games and anime are not fucking consistent and it took 8 years for a sequel to cyber sluts to come out.

This still happens btw it's only cosmetic change as in instead of the pal it will now show the glider but i do belive you need a glider in your inventory now which sucks.

the devs and fans literally got what they asked for.
All they had to do is follow the sage advice that has been given over many years:
Fucking shut up and say nothing.
That's all they had to do, but no, they let their obsession over hating pokemon for literally no reason get to their heads.

If only Digimon could make any decent game.

copyright and patents are the same thing but sill funny lmao.

It took 8 years to get a sequel to cyber sluts and it doesn't even have sluts in it. Literally the ONE thing that digimon can have a leg up over pokemon and they don't do it because....REASONS!!!!!

Total Nintendo death

Became popular for 3 years, news Pokemon outlits proceeded to it the Pokemon "Pokemon Killer" leading to unfair Pokemon comparisons by fans of...

Was an attempt to hop on the Yo-Kai Watch revived Monster catching Genre like Yo-Kai Watch many in hopes of competing with...

What?

Digimon was my favorite show as a kid. The only game I ever enjoyed is one I don't even remember as I was like a toddler when I played it. The one where you raise the digimon and they leave shits you have to clean up or something. I tried playing their games and they all just suck. Digimon did it to themselves man. I should also state, this is the digimon i grew up with youtube.com/watch?v=ozwP5fknWn8

So Admision of guilt while crying to the wind

Maybe next time be an original work

I'm not expecting the new cyber sluts to be yuribait, because hackers memory wasn't sex at all even with the lolimouto.

● 90 dollars is fine for the entertainment value Nintendo products provide

Why are you trying to rip-off Nintendo? If GTA is worth $100 than a quality Nintendo experience is worth at least $100, maybe more.

gamefreak

AAA

???? they run on AA at best

FUCCKKKKKK TAKE ME BACKKKKKKKKKKK

back to resetera kid. we're pro capitalism here

Who said play?

Nintendo OWNS the concepts of a squiggly little fin or a wavy, simplified tail you faggot. Any developer that has a similar feature on a model in their game deserves to be sued, bankrupted, and have their entire staff forced to commit seppuku in front of Nintendo headquarters

By definition what Nintendo doing is anti-capitalist retard.

kind of ironic they stuck with Japs and got fucked over by their nippon seniors. Who could have seen it coming?

What is with these threads that attracts these mentally ill retards? I genuinely think there are no living breathing human beings that act like this ITT you would encounter in real life and this is just to get a reaction out of people, I hope.
Imagine un-fucking-ironically defending Nintendo on this case where it is a blatant case of copyright trolling.
If we still had the IP count it would be at most 10 or something.

Frontier was where I stopped and I'm going to have to switch to jp dub to get into it.

It's about patents, nintendo is super important to japanese economy/market, so much so that they're allowed to apply patents retroactively.

too bad they would probably buy both games if pokemon ever release a 100$ two version game with no dlc which includes janky texture and mediocre gameplay

A big company like shitendo is bound to have actual shills on Anon Babble

Nintendo is just as bad as EA and all the rest but for some reason all the faggots love them.

because they were the last holdup of free online for console peasants

They have the money and backing to relocate the studio if they wanted to. The current devs don't even have to move. Just set up a shell company in a non-retarded country, transfer the IP over to it, and hire the original devs as remote workers.

I really wish Digimon did more man. I have a feeling that Nintendo has a lot to do with them not leaning into the pets aspect of it all and sticking the jrpg battles or whatever. It truly was my fave show and I watched both Pokemon and Digimon growing up. So much lost potential, was always way cooler to me than pokemon.

neck all s/u/bhuman c/u/cks

>One built entirely on shameless mimicry.

Just like Nintendo.

Nintendo OWNS the concepts of a squiggly little fin or a wavy, simplified tail

they shouldn't
thats what this is about
you are seeing nintendo kill someone and say its ok because they did it in a legal way and we are saying its bad because killing people is bad.

Nintendo are cunts.

call of duty type game has emerged other then valarant

valorant is a counter strike clone you fucking retard

Palworld is preemptively covering its ass in light of current arguments.

Too bad they probably don't want to emigrate, they surely have enough cash by now to pull up stakes and GTFO. Or at least do some trickery where the company moves to the US, and they're all "merely employees".

people just finding out japanese law is gigacucked

Lmao

You'd think this soon after the Mitchell/Jobst trial people would start looking into the exact specifics of a case and not just what a random internet personality is guessing about the patent case based on looking at the pictures in the patents and not even reading what patent law entails.

Mihoyo should make pokemon gacha.

Incineroar would never smoke

Gee I wonder what Pokémon’s player count looks like in comparison

Superman 64 time attack

THERE’S NO TIME TO WASTE

They own a lot more than flying.

palworld devs are cunts. They created a game that is legally on the line along with autistic fanbase that cant shut the hell up.
Got what they deserved.

“From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

Well, that's gay as fuck.
Hopefully they'll at least be smart enough to make the change in such a way that's easy for modders to revert.
Good memories of spending hours just flying around on my Vanwyrm unlocking areas I had no business being in at such low levels, getting giga eggs while dodging aggressive enemies and shit. That was a lot of fun.

isn't this interchangeable with pokemon fans but without the legality part though

Nintendo should just hire the Pocket Pair devs to make their next mainline game. Just make sure they don't use them to design the human characters because Pocket Pair fucking sucks at human designs

Glider

That rips of breath of the wild

It also rips off Just Cause 1

spoiler: game freak also sucks at designing female characters. They're all westoid designs.

Waiting, that's just gliding. Not flying.
Oh. Well, fuck, sure. That sucks a lot less.

what the fuck? who would ever even approve of such a patent?

pokemon invented flying with animals

lmao...

POKECHADSPOKECHADS WHAT ABOUT POKECHADS

JUST IGNORE PALWORLD'S NUMBERS FOR THE REST OF THE CONVERSATION

EEEEYUP, obsession

game freak also sucks at designing female characters.

Oh yeah sure. Tell that to the last 15 years of Anon Babble threads dedicated to the human trainers

There aren't many long loading screens anymore. It's not worth it. Might as well put a minigame elsewhwere in tjr game. Remember patents only last 20 years. Ones from the 90s or early 2000s are already expired

Y'know, this kind of shit is starting to make me hate Nintendo.
This is some mega-Jew behavior.

Another two?

It also rips of ARK, Monster hunter, Dragon Quest, WOW and numerous other games that use monster gliding but only palworld can not use it.

Call me a kike if you want still buying Switch 2.

No, you're cattle

Some troll is eating good today. So much obvious ragebait itt.

So when are you going after Epic then pussies?

Hating nintenjew is very reasonable behavior

He can keep on going and help everyone else smear nintendos name more precisely

This is just stupid,the legal argument will bare out into ethical appeals in court, that's what lawyers do.

The courts exist so that we as people can be bound by a system of ethically informed higher powers, if the designs were sufficiently stolen you should expect that lawyers of all people should be able to look them up and down and make that argument in court, they can't so they aren't, move on and make something else.

Everything else is subjective to where you could say saitama is a copy of hanzo from hunter x hunter ignoring that they're both based on the same thing, a bald guy white guy with narrow eyes, that's a thing that exists in the real world. If they're drawn in similar styles and that's a concern, argue it out in court or please shut the fuck up because we need a basis of argumentation for what we're talking about or we can just say "I feel this" and suddenly we're justified to do anything we want.

They're trying to do this in the US as well, they got a ton of patents rejected but are still working on getting more, think they got 3 at this point.

So like... can no one fly on animals in games anymore unless it's a GameFreak title? It seems excessively overreaching.

Nintendo invented inertia.

There has to be dozens of examples on seventh generation consoles alone.

No, Nintendo gets to choose who to bully. Most people probably won’t get taken to court.

No it has to do specifically with how the glider is implemented and probably with the transition from gliding to not gliding as well

If they live in japan i am thinking yes?

moving platforms have existed since the fucking atari

Why would they? Nintendo have expertly manipulated the pokemon audience into providing the most juice for the least squeeze. Delivering a quality product would mean the fanbase would expect more quality products.

I made the same mistake. See

Silicon Knights makes a cool eldritch mythos game where your screen can be affected to fuck with the player

Cool idea and feature

Nintendo kikes copywrite it so now nobody can use it BECAUSE

So tired of this shit. Yeah I know people take the risk and use it still, but you shouldn't be allowed to bogard this shit, it's an artistic feature.

I think you just can't release your game in Japan if it contains that. US and EU courts greatly favor fair use. China obviously doesn't give a fuck about any sort of copyright law. As does the third world but who gives a shit even if they did.

Nintendo has been sending c&d to fan creators for years. Was that not worth hating them?

go woke go broke

Japs.

Patents are made to be extremely specific, it's very difficult to "accidentally" infringe on a patent because if you simply have a similar concept your implementation will likely have some meaningful difference.
If you really are afraid of it you can just read the claims and easily tweak your game such that it is not infringing on the patent, as Pocket Pair are doing.
Now, it's bad if you are open about saying, "I wanted to copy this patented mechanic so I read the patent to make sure I'm not infringing" because that shows intent and if your mechanic is not actually distinct enough then it is a slam dunk for the plaintiff to show that you openly said you intended on copying their mechanic but if you don't run your mouth then you probably could look at any specific patent and find a way to implement what is in every extent the same system while not infringing on the patent.

tencent has a 40% stake

disney invested $1.5 billion

they aren't dummies

Oh no, not the autistic kaizoslop fangames like radical red!

Their shitty behavior has been repeatedly highlighted the past year. More people are waking up to how greedy a company Nintendo is.

Japanese court system is fucking bullshit. They basically run by the yakuza and Nintendo has heavy ties to the yakuza. This is why they can even get patents months after and retroactively sue. It's a kagaroo court.

Oh right, I forgot the thing with Latias/Latios in ORAS.
Still, that's just so fucking mundane it's a wonder anybody could claim copyright over it.

Japanese court system is fucking bullshit

they should make a game about this and call it ace attorney

noooo you can't sell tomatos! they look like marios nose!!!

tik tok japs

NOOO LEAVE THE BING BING WAHOO COMPANY ALONE!!!! THEY INVENTED VIDEO GAMES THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT!!!!

You are SUCH a faggot. Fuck Nintendo and fuck you

There aren't many long loading screens anymore

Yeah, long load times are going to disappear with the switch 1.

So... May we see it's concurrent players count right now?

27million

They should make a game called Accurate Attorney where you lose 99% of your criminal cases. Civil cases would have an exciting minigame where you out-bribe the local politician

How the fuck does japan even have patents in creative fields

The whole point of ace attorney is that pheonix is a freak who is practically the only lawyer to get non-guilty verdicts.

actual fucking food analogy

BYE RETARD

Put fun gameplay in your game

Nintendo sues you because it patented the very concept of riding a flying mount

This is genuinely heinous and Nintendo is digging their own grave behaving like this. It's exclusively going to sour people on them who otherwise would be indifferent.

There is such a thing as bad publicity and demonstrating you will always actively try to make video games as a whole delibwratelt worse with lawfare is about as bad as it gets.

There is no defending this. This is something a dying company with no security does.

Actually why doesn't Pokemon Showdown ever suffer from this?
I think that under normal cirumstances it wouldn't be looked at but since it seems to be several things in 1 game ,Nintendo is just catching them on everything that is covered all the way down to 2021.

50K for Sword and Shield about 30K for S/V outside of weekends.
Source look it up on any shitty player count site and play the games.

until now the patents were just there to prevent trollsuits cuz it happened a lot in the past, so companies had an unspoken agreement to not interfere with each other's patents
but then nintendo got angry at palworld and decided to start the entire thing we are seeing now

amerimutts will never accept that fair use does not mean free reign
By the way, atari stole code from nintendo and got caught.

shalom

these retarded replies

All laws are domestic. There is no such thing as 'international law'. Its a misnomer. Multiple countries may adopt similar or identical rules, but they're only domestic laws because they can only be enforced domestically. If Pal was Mexican, Japan could do nothing.

and the only reason they got angry was because palworld shitters got too cocky. There are so many different monster collecting games, but those developers and fanbases stay in their fucking lane.

I love my wife Katress even if she's fucking useless compared to Wixen (it's okay because Katress Ignis is miles better than Wixen Noct)

so long gay bowser

Yep. If Gamefreak made good games this wouldn't be a problem and all Nintendo can do is sue the better competition.

And yet Nintendo rarely use patents as it is so it doesn't sound like it makes sense that they 'just got angry'.
I just really want to know the actual reason why it happened and I doubt Nintendo or PocketPair would tell us.

Why do pokemon fans and palworld fans even argue both games are mediocre and none of them benefit arguing besides nintendo getting money and making more mediocre pokemon games hell it doesn't even benefit pokemon fans on here besides giving them the LE lols in "trolling palworld fans" when its pointless the best thing to do is basically wait and see if either palworld or pokemon come out on top in the lawsuit

and the only reason they got angry was because palworld started making money

ftfy
they're literally just using shady business tactics to try and kill a competitor before it becomes a rival

Miles better

Not even close, not with that useless passive and worse handiwork

Knowing mihoyo it will be an instant success on brand alone, I can't want for gamefreaks and nintendo to eat shit

Sorry but Palworld isn't a legitimate competitor to Pokemon.

Atari gets into an agreement with Nintendo to release games on the NES

Knows Nintendo has strict quality control guidelines in place to prevent another video game crash due to shovelware

Chip shortage happens, less games are being shipped

Atari wants to use a manufacturuer of chips that are shit

Nintendo refuses

Atari gets mad cause they want more money

Atari steals the lock out chip code from the US copyright office

Atari selling unauthorized games in violation of their agreement

Atari sues Nintendo for anti trust violations

The fact that Atari stole code from Nintendo gets discovered in court and that they use that code to make their unauthorized games

Atari claims FAIR USE, ITS NOT FAIR THAT THEY HAVE LOCKOUT CHIP TECHNOLOGY AND ITS NOT FAIR THAT WE HAVE TO ABIDE BY OUR AGREEMENT WITH THEM AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO STEAL!!!!! WE WANT MONEY!!!!! EVIL COMPANY!!!!

Judge rips Atari a new one because stealing is not fair use and if they could reverse engineer the lockout

Atari loses the case

Atari eventually goes bankrupt

Ends up being the case where we find out that ripping things off is not fair use

Will always be a fun case to revisit and should serve as a cautionary tale to what happens when you're a seething hater.

Why do pokemon fans and palworld fans even argue both games are mediocre

It's not a matter of the games being mediocre or not, it's about being on the winning side.
Doubly so for Anon Babble since Palworld is justy being used for shitposting and badly hiding their furfaggotry but I'm sure every monster collector has those people everywhere.

That wasn't the bone of contention though, smart guy
If you'd properly read my post you would have noticed I didn't make a judgement on whether or not Palworld is actually competition for Nintendo, only that Nintendo intends to leverage their position to kill it before that idea becomes reality

Started making money

Other monster games made money too and they didn't get sued.

try and kill a competitor before it becomes a rival

They would need WAY more than a UE5 game to even come close to being a rival to pokemon and you know this.

I suspect the steam deck has something to do with it
A proper gaymon competitor, in a handheld?
It's going to fuck the Switch 2 sales

Sony was looking at it with interest so regardless of the actual quality of either franchise, being able to have the backing of a company of that size would mean that it could get pushed as a competitor.
The reason why most Pokeclones don't make a dent in Pokemon is because they are basically just a single video game, maybe make their game a franchise, but Pokemon is huge because it has all of its mixed media that most companies, even moderately sized ones, would struggle to maintain. But Sony approaching Pocketpair with aims to do just that mean that it may pose a threat and the patent suits are mainly meant to halt potential momentum.

No other monster catching game made as much money or became as popular as Palworld did, for better or worse. You know full well that very few games ever even reach 1/10th of the peak playercounts Palworld did
Nintendo saw a potential rival emerging, and decided to kill it by any means necessary

winning side and its genuine unfair tactics that are for people who can't stand losing once like a pussy
also why are we pretending that Anon Babble doesn't also harbors more of those people than actual palworld

IT'S NOT A POTENTIAL THREAT IT'S JUST POTENTIALLY A THREAT

You probably thought you sounded smart when you typed that.

The only way for them to be a rival is for them to somehow travel to 1997, make palworld, and manage it well enough that it is still a worldwide phenomenon that rakes in billions of dollars even in 2025.
Haters are too afraid to realize that Nintendo has such a stranglehold because they managed to ingrain themselves in human culture for the past 40 years. That is something you can't beat.

Again, no
You're saying I said

it's a potential threat

What I actually said was

Nintendo perceived it as a potential threat

Very simple but important distinction. No reading comprehension award for you until you up your effort

Oh right and Nintendo didn't shit and piss their pants with a patent suit despite doing nothing about other less successful games having Nintendo's patented mechanics before Palworld... OH WAIT

award

Back to the sharty, underage.

Nintendo has such a stranglehold because they managed to ingrain themselves in human culture for the past 40 years. That is something you can't beat.

Ah no?
Make enough mistakes and see what happens

Why are you rooting for a company like it's a football team? When you're employing shady business court tactics to maintain monopoly and kill an emerging competitor, 'being ingrained in culture' becomes an irrelevant issue
I sneedccept your chuckcession, my friend

Anon, Nintendo rarely bring out patents to begin with. I wouldn't be surprised if PocketPair actually tried to patent something that was already patented to begin with which caused this shitshow.

rooting for a company

Why are you conceding?

Only in your head faggot

wow players complain that the game isn't """""""""""""""""""""""""""""hard""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" enough

listen to those players

manages to kill wow because it stopped being fun to play for casuals and became even more of a job for hardcore players in a competitive raiding guild

Will never cease to amuse me

It's impolite to answer a question with a question. In the interest of entertaining you however, I'm not conceding anything because you stated the truth.
So did I, however

What I find the funniest is that countless companies tried to make a WoW killer, failing at it, only for Blizzard to do a flip, the faggots

Palworld won, switch 2 will flop.

Never ever discount your games

Launch titles are still full Price 7+ years later

Wonder why people continue to pirate your shit

Piracy is only as enticing as Nintendo makes it

something you can't beat

Which is why its better that they just stay in their lane. It's been proven that you can thrive and find success without bumping heads with literally every single developer, genre, and fanbase.
But that also means that the failures will be on you and you alone. Like how Destiny 2 and other live service games ended up being such a massive failure.

Who gets Flame Funnel without having to spend a dozen hours getting the fruit for it, and who doesn't?

It took me one hour to get flame funnel from a fruit. Skill issue.

Why don't they make a good Pokemon instead

I wish a very painful death to every single nintendo employee and all consoomers of their products

Nintendo invented riding animals

This seems like blatant legal corruption to me. Derivation is the heart of creation, particularly when one of the biggest franchises in the world is locked in with a developer that is entirely inept.
