the lawsuit is targeting three patents in particular. These primarily cover throwing an object in a specific direction to either summon a battle character or to capture a creature in the field
Better watch out, Ghostbusters. Your ghost trap might be next.
I need it explained to me how this wouldn’t cover “throwing a net”. Don’t see how you can get away with patenting a real life action with an uber vague patent.
No they specifically only target companies that cannot defend themselves. World of Warcraft has battle pets that you can capture by throwing cages at them and then train and fight them against other battle pets. Nintendo isn’t about to file a lawsuit against Microsoft.

Which is arguable a more realistic representation of what Pokemon represents: slavery.
