Nintendo alleges Palworld infringed on three patents it filed for Pokemon gaming mechanics.
This patent protects the system in which players aim and release a Poke Ball to capture wild creatures.
A display predicts capture success, and the creature becomes a fighting ally.
Success is influenced by factors like the creatures health.
Players may switch between flying Pokemon mid-jump and water-throw in Pokemon near water to effortlessly cross terrains.
The patent incorporates mechanisms for catching critters for riding or fighting.
Nintendos legal strategy may involve crafting patent claims specifically targetingPalworlds gameplay mechanics.
Pocket Pair also reports that Nintendo seeks an injunction to halt sales ofPalworlduntil the infringing mechanics are removed.
We will continue to assert our position in this case through future legal proceedings, the statement concluded.
