If Nintendo is supposedly focusing on the specific "catching formula patent", maybe Pocket pair, and future Pokemon cloned games developers could change up the way you acquire wild monsters.
How about you the main character, has a unique psychic ability, you can pacify wild monsters who are at half HP life, and slowly make them docile with your thoughts, bringing them around to your will and becoming your friend, willing to do anything to help you. Or perhaps you found an alien type technology that you can throw up into the air when monsters are raging and as you are fighting and dodging their attacks, you are mesmerizing them while tiring them out, or even a colorful disco ball type item above them, doing the same process WITHOUT capturing them in a container,where they can continue to miraculously survive in another pocket dimension, lol.
So, that's just an idea, if, in the future, a brand new game doesn't use capturing devices, no similar names, color schemes, or familiar creature lookalikes, and it continues to put the captured monsters to different uses afterwards,NOT battling each other, but building towns, raising monster families for a few future generations, etc, then is Nintendo going to continue to attempt to sue that future company, even if it is just in the same genre class,but has nothing in common after the lulling/pacifying/mesmerizing into friendship?
It would blow my mind if they continued to attempt to sue every developer trying to break into the same type of game genre as Game Freaks, Nintendo is attempting to hold a monopoly/iron fist over.
Just when is Nintendo/Game Freaks going to be accused of attempting to control a monopoly on capturing little monsters? Maybe it's time someone sees THEM as the bully, instead of protecting their type of game genre. They want their obvious cut, only because Pocketpair's game was an unexpected huge megahit.
I've mostly only have been playing video games on my PS5 in the post COVID years, I enjoy having all of my trophies on one console system.(Dragonsi2, Level 322 PSN).
If Nintendo had a Trophy/Achievement system,it would greatly help my OCD buy and play more Switch games instead, but without a Trophy system, that bothers my OCD greatly and is a complete turn off. The last Switch game that I played was Palia, and really enjoyed my first Switch MMO!
I'm 54, but please, don't let my age fool you! I'm an OG gamer, I've been playing video games since Santa brought me Pong by Sears for Christmas 1977, and I usually play RPGs and MMOs. I'm definitely a hardcore gamer, just older.
I think if PalWorld would have tanked, failed completely, Nintendo wouldn't have cared, just laughed another competitor failed at their type of game genre. Sometimes Nintendo goes after little tiny free Pokemon cloned games, but their developers just aren't that bright, and literally copy the Pokemon names or exact duplicate images/icons, etc. WHY?? Why can't these little tiny developers making free mobile games completely differentiate names, icons etc, when they KNOW they are blatantly guilty copyright infringement and Nintendo has every legal right to shut them down, but they still do it?
But I truly believe that Palworld may have the starting process fairly similar to Pokemon, it completely branches off after that with base building, NPC base raids, etc.
Granted, they should have definitely changed the icon colors, images etc to not have any similarailties to any Pokemon characters at all, and some definitely are similar.

Re: Palworld Developer Responds To Nintendo Lawsuit
@Thomystic If Nintendo wins, they wouldn't force the game to shutdown, they just want a cut of future proceeds permanently.
