You know Nintendo is just weird.

They file a patent lawsuit against an indie game, just because someone finally got popular. But why don't thay sue digimon or blue dragon, and while their at it, howtotrain a dragon while their at it.

This whole thing is just weird.

The really odd but is being unaware of which patents they're allegedly infringing on

That should be part of the filing shouldn't it?

Also are they going to sue Square Enix for Dragon Quest Monsters while they're at it?

"What for?"

Those are too old, I guess. The lots of Pokemon patents started about 2020.

Well, they waited for Pocketpair to become big enough to give them money, and not too big to risk losing against them.
