You and I both know tPC is fighting significantly below the belt, and that's before we talk about rhe trickery of pulling a patent and asking it to apply to a game that came out before you filed.
As a mega Pokemon fan I want the franchise to do better, but it has stagnated and spent all its time and effort into merchandising and stopping anyone from evolving the genre. The throne has rusted beneath them and I'm tired of acting like this is ok. They aren't in the right legally, and they are even less in the right morally. I would agree Pocketpair came too close to copying Pokemon by many of the creature designs, but guess what? They didn't sue on copyright, they decided to sue based soley on patent, and the idea that you and nobody else can release a work of fiction with
>summoning balls
>summoning a creature for creature v creature combat
>using creatures as mounts and swapping between them
>using objects as points of interest to interact with in an environment
Is so profoundly entitled and stupid that I find this not even worth entertaining if they weren't burning millions to scream about it. Seriously, fuck Pokemon, and I say that with love. It's like watching a family member one go homeless, become a meth head and get arrested stealing lighters from a 711. Fucking shameful.
