Don't let the extensive and costly marketing campaign around Mega Malamar detract from Nintendo filing a patent for "summoning monsters to fight other monsters", trying to kill off any competition despite not even being the first franchise to do this.Also note to jannies on Nintendo's payroll trying to push this under the rug by deleting threads; this is very much a /vp/ relevant topic. When Pokémon does something that will impact its competition is still goes on /vp/.
goodfuck other monster battlers
This is the company that tried to patent jumping at some point. Nobody should really be surprised by Nintendo is doing everything in their power to keep their cash cow on top.
>>58234592The patent is way more generalized than that, can impact anything from Final Fantasy to Elden Ring.
>>58234613Good. Only Pokémon should exist.
>>58234607Next thing you know, sony will patent walking with all the walking simulators they have
>>58234587Monopolies aren't allowed. Apple, Walmart and Amazon are making everything obsolete
>>58234613they wont do shit
>>58234587Patent was filed two years ago btw, stay mad palkek and make sure to keep losing pocketpair and sony money this fiscal year!
>Specifically for "shrunken versions of a monster carried on a player's person and used to fight others with the same"So basically every monster catcher that isn't out to completely ape Pokemon is safe. Please stop reading headlines and thinking you have full context.
>>58234657normalfags are incapable of independent thought
>>58234657The patent simply states "causes a sub character to appear on the field", where the sub character(monster) was beforehand is not mentioned as far as I can tell. The word 'shrunken' is not mentioned anywhere in the patent.
>>58234657Digimon V-Pets, Yokai Watch, and even Jojo's Bizarre Adventure falls under yhis btw
>An example of an information processing system moves a player character on a field, based on a movement operation input. The information processing system causes a sub character on the field, based ona first operation input. When an enemy character is placed at a location where the sub character is caused to appear, the information processing system controls a battle by a first mode in which the battle proceeds based on an operation input. When the enemy character is not placed at the location, the information processing system starts automatic control of automatically moving the sub character. The information processing system moves the sub character, based on a second operation input, and when the enemy character is placed at a location of a designation, the information processing system controls a battle by a second mode in which the battle automatically proceeds.This is what the abstract of the patent actually says.
Watch them ignore all but the ones blatantly ripping off Game Freak's IP.
>>58234703they wont do shit to them
May the Switch 2 get hacked and forcefully humble Nintendo.
>>58234587>the only people good at making monster catching games should be the only ones allowed to make monster catching gamesound good to me. eat shit digikek
>>58234613good. fuck rollslop
>>58234859Pokemon hasn't had any good games lately though.
>>58234872that’s not what the sales figures think
I am not a game developer and I don't work for Nintendo so I do not care about this. It's not my problem.
>>58234872>lately15 years ago isn’t lately anon
>>58234587>pokemon vs yugioh will be real
>>58234587>Final Fantasy gets banned>Monster Hunter gets banned>Shin Megami Tensei gets banned>Dragon Quest gets bannedBased

>>58234768>Keeps breaking every record>Keeps causing unseen levels of seethingThey really struck gold, sayonara barriestation 5
Why is Nintendo doing all the heavy lifting. We all know palworld is pokemon x fortnight.
>>58235022of course a bort would think that sales =/= quality lol
>>58234629Good thing this is an Oligarchy, not a Monopoly.>What's the difference?Oligarchys are Monopolies but legal.
>>58234607>This is the company that tried to patent jumping at some point.hate to be THAT fucking guy but source????
>>58234587Damn not even yokai watch had nintendo as shook as Palworld.
>>58234587nothing burger unless they copy the entire flowchart (not just this page btw, there are 4-5 pages of this).https://gamesfray.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/US12403397B2-2025-09-02.pdf
>>58234867>>58234618I pray that you annoying Pokemon npc shills get harassed by Naruto fans you are ATP worst than Steven universe fans
>>58235193nice schizo rant anon but this isn't your personal blog
why are gamers retarded and think they are better than lawyers
>>58234592Fpbp, long live Pokemon
>>58234587i support these jewish patents and jewish nintendo because jews are getting rid of white cucks and jap cucksthe future of their countries and nintendo is very poopy
>>58235324Where can I find I find a lawyer defending this patent?
>>58234618>Only Pokémon should exist.Based loyalist!
>>58235515In the courts of law
>>58234587'ric thread, due for a melty over at /v/ soon. Hope he ropes on Friday
>>58234587I think it's because everyone knows this patent will mostly gonna flop if enforced, since it would mean Nintendo/TPC would have to dispute with decades of other properties that used those same descriptions unopposed like the Summon Spells in Final Fantasy or Yu-Gi-Oh with it's Summoning mechanics.It would ironically leave them in the same spot as when Monster Energy Drink tried making a go at them for the Japanese name of "Pocket Monsters", and with roughly the same amount of shit thrown back in their faces too
>>58235182No, anon. Don't read the actual patent, read the OP. Nintendo patented summoning. They're going after Elden Ring. How can they be so scummy???
>>58235642did you read it >>58235182, i see nothing burger, just don't make pokemon SV game
Isn't it ironic how transvestite communists are the one fueling this?
>>58235665Elden Ring is unironically one of the closer ones to infringe on this patent. Only missing aspect is that you don’t choice exactly where your summon appears in that game.
>>58234587Lmao, can't wait for this to backfire
>>58236108You throw a ball at the enemy in Elden Ring?
>>58235665Is this news to you? Nintendo is a shit corporation. Pirate all Nintendo games.
>>58234618Holy fucking based
>>58235665they will get BTFO if they try
>>58236114it already is
>>58236118This isn’t the Pokeball patent retard.
>>58236171This patent also specifically mentions throwing from a ball.
>>58234592Final fantasy had summons
>>58234592>>58235436Look at you Nintendo fag fanboys lmao
>>58234613I think nobody is stupid enough to believe that, not even here. I recommend you guys go elsewhere with your gaslighting attempts. People at gamefaqs might believe you, if you want a suggestion
Only the games with Malamar matter, Malamar genre!
>>58235665>Nintendo telling Fromsoft fags to finally git gudHoly based
>>58235152They didnt actually try but miyamoto said he thought about it back in the day.
>>58234587Good. Only Pokemon matters.>>58234592That him for speaking the truth.
>>58236956Another bitch boy Nintendofag
>>58234613you promise?
>>58234587I’m not distracted by anything. I’m glad Nintendo is doing this. Hopefully Nintendo knocks out all the competition both literally, spiritually, sexually, derivatively, metaphorically, inspirationally, and anally.
ragebait threadalso kill all fascists
>>58237213...Fascists?
