This describes literally every pet system in any game where the pets can battle.

This is so overly broad, it’s insane.

It’s also any RPG-like game that lets you summon creatures or undead

It sounds incredibly vulnerable to this exact argument. Patents aren’t valid if it’s been invented already.

  The problem is lawyers. Nintendo has billions to spend on them.

    Even lawyers can’t get you out of trying to patent something that was clearly already in the market. Previously, Nintendo’s patent lawsuits had been for highly specific mechanics such as throwing a ball to capture npc animals.
