Pokémon has always just been cock fighting with a kid friendly coat of paint. That is part of what makes Pal World entertaining. It removes the facade and shows the genre for what it is.

Aaron People actually did complain about the loading screen patent. Maybe you are too young or just don’t remember, but I saw it quite a bit over the years. It’s just been so long now that that idea is sort of lost to time and we never got to see what others might have done with that idea.

Impybots I’d argue the Nemesis system is example of why patents on game mechanics shouldn’t be allowed. WB has the patent and is now doing nothing with it. It was going to be used in a Wonder Woman game, but that was cancelled and the studio closed. And that studio, Monolith, was whom also made the Middle-Earth games. So now what? Chances are we will simply be denied the ability to see the system in another game for the next decade or two.
