Before YouTube's switch to "your going to watch 6 ads before the video starts, and you are going to like it," schtick, I always enjoyed getting to skip the ad before they managed to tell me what the product even was.

You are correct, I missed that it was still under speculation.
Pocketpair has a pretty good case against Nintendo here, I think, because other games have used these things before.
I know it was never actually released, but Scalebound had a mechanic that would have allowed a player to tell their dragon to perform a task, albeit, usually destructively.
Guild Wars 2 Added a mechanic years ago that let players traverse water and land by automatically a switching between mounts.
'Releasing' a creature into a 3d environment has been done by every minion-mancer class in an MMO since the dawn of the genre.
~~Looks like it's over the game mechanics of 'releasing a creature into a 3d environment and having it perform a contextual task' & 'having a rideable mount switch to a different rideable mount depending on terrain'~~
~~I don't think either of these would work in the US, because you can't protect game mechanics here, but I'm not sure about Japan's take.~~
Edit: I missed that this was still under speculation at the time of the post:
Based on searching of Japanese patent databases, initial speculation is that these may include (but is not necessarily limited to) patents relating to game mechanics and gameplay features from Pokémon: Legends Arceus, and may include patents such as one for throwing and using Poké Balls in a 3D space (JP,2023-092953,A); and one for automatically switching between ride Pokémon as a player transitions between different terrain, such as between air and the ground (JP,2023-092954,A).
Iirc, a company vehicle was worth around 8 grand in salary back before covid. I'm not sure what it would be today, though.
It doesn't need to be an animated visual to be distracting or NSFW...
That's a lot of faith that the ads would be SFW, let alone not distracting.
Not only that, but then they go and blow half of their budget on adverts instead of R&D.
I haven't played the third one co-op yet, unfortunately so I can only assume that it holds up like the second one does.

They only would have 'broken the law' in this case if they tried to sell it as their own original work, which it isn't, and that is what the prompt writer in the op is trying to do.
