    Nostalgia is a hard drug. You can still appreciate games from you childhood & not buy games or consoles from a evil company.

      Plus, there’s always piracy. With that said, I generally prefer the older games anyway.

    Is there any way to support pocketpair during the lawsuit? I already bought the game, and it’s one of my favorites, and pokemon can eat a dick

    It is probably something stupid like Nintendo having a patent for “pocket” in names, since Pokemon is “pocket monsters”

    Patents in videogames should be banned.

      I agree, but I think all intellectual property laws should be repealed. I came to the conclusion that patent, copyright, and trademark are all varying levels of bad years ago and I think it clearly holds the human race and human progress back by limiting creative iteration.

    I heard that Pocket Pair use relatively questionable methods to develop their games such as AI and literal copy-paste for their concept art which they then just alter.

    But its more hearsay than everything else I guess.

      Please don’t post hearsay. If you want to post something incriminating, take a second to verify it first. This is how bad rumors propagate, and as a society today it’s a problem we’re facing like never before. Do your part!

      In this case you’re completely wrong.
