I know you don't like Palworld but let's not spread misinformation and put words into peoples mouth, shall we? A more accurate summarized quote would be "Nintendo is suing us but not telling us what for" which is a pretty crappy thing.

Realistically, that's not possible. It's just not public. Once they speak to the court they'd know exactly what they're being sued about. This "news" is like 3 days old too, so I'm 99% sure they know by now.

I wouldn't say that's entirely true. It for sure can be, but the vagueness of the statement "received notice of the lawsuit" when Nintendo very publicly announced they filed suit, Pocket Pair can mean either they saw the statement or they've officially been served with the suit documents. If it's only the former, then they're definitely still in the dark about exact what patents are the point of contention. I don't know if this is also the case in Japan, but the turnaround time between filing suit and being served is rarely ever as fast as just a few days.

I'm gonna laugh when the judges look at the patents and rule them invalid because they're so generic that they cannot reasonably be considered a uniquely qualifying design.

I'm playing the game weekly with a friend and still having fun with it. I just hope that, may Nintendo win, the game will remain available in some capacity.

As much as I want Palworld to win I have to question that. Perhaps if the lawsuit was in America but Japanese courts are kind of notorious for being draconian given the Ace Attorney games are a satire of them. The act of merely being sued in the first place can be seen as an admission of guilt to some people. And according to some people NIntendo has never lost a lawsuit it initiated so that's worrying.
There's also the possibility Nintendo can just drag the proceedings out and bleed Pocketpair dry financially which is a valid tactic big companies do all the time even if the lawsuit itself has no chance of winning it won't matter.
