It's post time! Recently Pokemon successfully gained a controversial patent, which I've already talked about in a previous post. But this brings up the question, why are they allowed to do things then? Why are they allowed to make rip-offs of things in the name of "expansion" and "merchandise"? They're being unfair hypocrites, especially since they're going through with their upcoming Animal Crossing rip-off game even though they've already been getting backlash for patenting a basic game mechanic. I don't care what anyone says to defend them; this is ridiculous! Pokemon has had issues before, with some fans giving up the series entirely because of it. But this is a step too far! Why do they get to rip-off other people when they don't want others using a basic function that they didn't even create? I've been a fan of Pokemon for a long time, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be held accountable. I think they should get rid of this ridiculous patent and just let people enjoy things for once. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
