    Almost literally. They patented:

    • catching characters in thrown balls

    • calling on characters by throwing a ball

    • using captured characters to fight and harvest resources

      @nonprofitparrot, if you have the links to the patents at hand, it would be grand if you can share them.

        Scroll past the nintendo switch. https://imgur.com/gallery/pokemons-patent-vs-palworld-jp-7398425-b-zFDuKSc

        To be clear, no official source has released these patents as definitively relevant to this case. But they sure look relevant.

          @nonprofitparrot thank you.

          Interesting. I wonder if those are about the Pokeball controller/peripheral (more likely given the time) or the in-game throwing.
