Looking up those patents, the first alludes to a system where a player aims and fires an “item” toward a character in a field, and in doing so triggers combat, and then dives into extraordinary intricacies about switching between modes within this. The second is very similar, but seems more directly focused on tweaking previous patents to including being able to capture Pokémon in the wild, rather than only during battle. The third, rather wildly, seems to be trying to claim a modification to the invention of riding creatures in an open world and being able to transition between them easily.

So you're cool if some other developer makes a knockoff of Palworld and sells it, right? Cause that knock off developer has to make a living, right? Where's your empathy lie? With the Palworld developer or the knock off?

Yea I’m fine with that. Nobody would buy it.

Nintendo claims Palworld is a knockoff, and people bought it, so you've got a bit of a disconnect with reality and your positions.

You asked about a knockoff of Palworlds.
