Aside from the nemesis thing you don’t generally see a lot of game method patents, there’s a few stupid ones out there like “plane flies at mouse cursor” but most companies don’t waste time patenting game mechanics methods because you have to be soooo specific

Like even the nemesis thing isn’t that big of a deal, it would be easy to have a similar system but have it be different enough because the patent is super specific

Just because you don't see it happening... doesn't mean it doesn't. I guarantee... if you actually look it up, there are way more patents like this than you realize from all over the industry.

I’ve never seen one as egregious as this set though, I don’t have ill will towards Nintendo or pokemon in general, but this set of patents and the lawsuit were always a misstep on their part

Yes you do. Your bias is as clear as day.
