More details have come out about the palworld-nintendo lawsuit, such as which if the many arbitrary patents they "violated" and the total sum
The sum is for some $32k per violated patent , so a total of a near $100k including any fees and an injunction against further sales of the game.
The patents are r-slurred, vague and in some ways already done by games that existed before any filings.

One involves "aiming" objects in real time in a virtual space during combat and firing it, or generally firing an object in virtual space.

The second is just a 20 page Japanese document

The third seems to simply be RIDING CREATURES IN A VIRTUAL SPACE!
All of these patents were applied for in early 2024 and finally registered in late August, and all applied for AFTER PALWORLDS RELEASE

Pokemon has always been easy and for children, the newer games just removed the 8 hours you'd have to spend mindlessly grinding in tall grass. Death to JRPGcels, Atlus is the only developer that doesn't intentionally go out of their way to waste the player's time.

I swear JRPGs embrace menu-based gameplay where you spend more time navigating menus and watching animations play out than you do actually playing the darn game.
I still have no idea why they're as popular as they are. They all look so obscenely boring.
