Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have been denied a patent application targeting touchscreen devices for monster-capturing mechanics similar to those in Pokémon. The rejection by the Japan Patent Office adds to ongoing legal challenges against Palworld developer Pocketpair.
Palworld is set to receive the Home Sweet Home update on December 17, featuring a crossover with the indie FPS Ultrakill. Players can explore as characters V1 or V2, using unique abilities like reflecting bullets off coins and a new shotgun. The update also introduces base customization options with vibrant color choices.

Nintendo now has two months to respond to the challenge.
