Nintendo and The Pokmon Company have recently secured a patent that could significantly impact gameplay mechanics across various genres. The patent, which allows players to summon sub-characters to assist in battles, raises questions about the future of game development and the competitive landscape. Critics argue that this move is part of a broader strategy by Nintendo to use patents as a means of stifling competition, a practice often referred to as lawfare.

The recent launch of Pokmon Friends during the Pokmon Presents showcase has captured the attention of gamers worldwide. This innovative puzzle game offers a unique blend of tracing paths, yarn mechanics, and adorable plushes, making it a must-try for fans of the franchise and puzzle enthusiasts alike. With a staggering 1,200 puzzles to solve, daily stamps to earn, and 150 different plushes to collect, Pokmon Friends promises endless hours of engaging gameplay.
