    In another thread someone linked Nintendo's patent on mounting a creature and being able to both fly through the air and run along the ground while riding said creature.

    We don't know what Nintendo is suing about yet, and it's possible they have something real like they found out that the devs ripped an asset from a pokemon game and tweaked it with AI like a lot of people were speculating at one point, but right now I'm leaning towards this lawsuit is fucked and if Nintendo gets away with it they will be stifling every game with collectable creatures in the industry.

      That does not sound like a real patent. Or at least something that should not be a real patent
