    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      I agree, but I think all intellectual property laws should be repealed.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.
