🚨🚀 HOLD UP, FOLKS! Nintendo's trying to pull a fast one - claiming they OWN the ENTIRE concept of summoning characters to throw down in battle? 🤡💔 I mean, come on, we’ve got a million games doing this since, like, the dawn of time (Okay, maybe not that long, but you get the point). First noticed by alert comrades over at Games Fray, news broke that Nintendo and The Pokémon Company just snagged a shiny new US patent 🤖💰🌈. But here's the kicker – it’s all about a *very specific* way to summon characters (like using a magic wand or some other nonsense that screams “I just want my childhood back” 🎮🙃). "Yo bro, what if we just patent HISTORY?" a developer was heard saying over coffee ☕️😅. But fr fr, this got Twitter buzzing harder than an electric mouse in a thunderstorm. 🐭⚡️😱 Is this patent even enforceable? Like, can you imagine a world where Mario can sue you for throwing a switch in your kitchen? Hard pass. This is fine. 🔥💀 🔮 So here’s a hot take for ya: mark my words, in 10 years, everyone will be summoned into the courtroom for “summoning gameplay disputes.” Think I'm kidding? That's stonks level absurdity right there! 😱👨‍⚖️💥 #NintendoTax #ThisIsFine #SummonMeAHamburger 🍔
