I’m sorry but uh, for what? The concept of collectible battle monsters?

Nintendo about to start suing plumbing companies for stealing the concept of Mario

To be fair I saw one "Pal" that just straight up used Zoruas model.

Nintendo never cared about stuff like Digimon or Cassette Beasts, so I'm guessing the problem is actual models made by Nintendo were used. Buuuuut this is Nintendo and they sent people cease and desists over Pokemon fan games FFS, so who the hell knows.

I mean, Palwords developers are skeezy, but on the other hand so is Nintendo, also fuck copyright.

Since it's a patent lawsuit they're going after game mechanics rather than character designs, but we don't know which mechanics yet
