They prob did this now becouse the player count is dropping so they thought less people would be offended but the entirety of youtube is talking about it
@@MattyOYT Yea but that's not Nintendo, that's anyone You can't file a lawsuit if you can't provide some kind of proof or reasonable suspicion beforehand and you also have to do the research before filing the lawsuit so that's probably what took so long
Tbf Nintendo has had the patent for the entire pokeball animation and mechanics since Legends came out long before palworld launched so they will fs win. However I don't think a gaming company should be able to own game mechanics, characters absolutely but mechanics no.
Yeah but doesn't almost every monster catching game have a "pokeball" mechanic? Or do you mean the specific animation n all that? Like the real time throwing
@@MattyOYT unfortunately legends came out in January and Palworld was announced in June the patent if I remember correctly was filed January 1st. And for everyone else The Pokemon Company owns the entire idea of throwing an object "not specifically a ball" to either release a creature and/or catch a creature. Legally this is what's called a killer patent meaning it's not up for debate that it was violated. The only way Palworld has a chance is to argue the patent itself and hope a Judge agrees to void the patent.
I will mention that Japanese law is different than American law when it comes to patents. Is is fair? I can't say as no-one has any idea what patents they are even suing for yet. I would wait and see before saying anything on it personally.
@@kotakoolergameplay mechanics are probably the one thing that’s the furthest away from pokemon tho lol. knowing that i don’t think nintendo can win this.
@MattyOYT No, it isn't since there's no consistency. Only physical property can be proven consistently. Intellectual property is almost all gray. Plus, a version of copyright patents is the reason insulin is expensive.
@MattyOYT don't rip off ideas if you don't want them to come after you for it idk seems pretty straight forward but it is shitty in a way big pokemon has made billions already time to share the love but they just aren't forced to
No it just flat-out is not. Kissing corporate ass isn't going to get you anything. No company should have the right to sue another for creating a similar product. It's anti-competitive in the purest form.
