"Multiple patents"

Specifies none

Off to a great start, I see. I know that actual game mechanics cannot be patented or copyrighted (the same principle applies to non digital games), so I'm really curious to what these patents are.

Someone linked a list of all the patents Pokemon Company specifically holds and the very first one was "creature breeding based on good sleep habits."

  1. How does that even get a patent?
  2. What the fuck iteration of Pokemon requires you to have good sleep habits to breed your pokemon? 🤨
  3. Does it actually help you sleep? 🤔 I might need to start breeding pokemon...
