the patent will be ruled unable to hold up in court and then dissolved. Happens all the time with patent suites. This is an attempt to damage pocketpair so that their partnership with sony doesn't end up becoming the "playstation pokemon" and giving them actual, non-meme competition. They're well aware of how shit the pokemon games are and can't improve them since gamefreak has exclusive development rights and clearly has some sort of pride thing going on where they think only they can make pokemon. It's survived the 3D era only because it had no alternative, and palworld with sony funding now threatens that merchandise empire.
This is not simple malice, this is desperation.
