@UnovanZorua Yes, that "currently" is very troubling. Having watched the latest trailer, it does indeed look like the Pokémon TCG version of Yugioh Duel Links, and that is a game I greatly enjoy that I feel is reasonably well monetised. At first I was very sceptical and slept on it for a year, but then I gave it a try and…

(I made a post earlier that is yet to be approved. I was talking about Nintendo's previous litigious habits with regards to fan games. We'll see if it goes through.) Another update: It appears that the lawsuit may involve the patents of mechanics including throwing an object to catch and store characters and mounting…

Nintendo are infamous for waiting until games or projects, even free fan games, are finished or close to finished before hitting the creators with cease and desist letters and lawsuits. In the case of non-profit fan games, I would speculate that it is a calculated PR move. Most passion projects, particularly those…

Why do people keep posting these polls with such random selections of Pokémon?

Interesting that it gets its own forum, but I suppose it makes sense. They presumably don't want Pocket discussion flooding the TCG or Live forums (or the general). I would need to see more of this app before I could have any real investment in it. I understand that there will be some form of game to play in app, but it…

Do you mean which is best from a competitive perspective? Because the answer is objectively Bulbasaur. Or are you asking which we like the most?

Splatoon is fine. I like it.

Again: This is not about the designs. Nor do I think this is about the concept of catching monsters in a ball. That was just an example of a mechanic that might be patented. We do not know what this lawsuit is about. But it is not about Pals looking like Pokémon at this stage. That might become part of it if Nintendo…

I mean, I don't think my tastes have changed much. Some examples off the top of my head: Halo 3 (though I love the series from CE-ODST) Majora's Mask Demon's Souls (Love Souls games in general, except DSII.) Sonic Adventure 2 Morrowind (I have a soft spot for Oblivion. I dislike Skyrim.) Persona 3 Super Smash Bros. Melee…

@clasingla It is harder to prove, perhaps. Again, Pokémon doesn't own yellow mice or blue penguins. You need to prove that Pocketpair put Pikachu and Piplup in their game. We don't know what patents they are citing, but if TPC owns "capturing animals in balls" for example (no idea if they actually do, not sure you could…
