They are apparently suing for copying patented game mechanics (maybe something like the obvious Pokeball catches?), not designs or anything of the sort. Which honestly they wouldn't win anyway.

Why not? Based on my very limited knowledge of ip law, it seems like they would have a case. 

I'm not a lawyer but I regularly am a SME on patent cases.  I find it to be a giant PITA and what seems obvious never is.  Just my 2 cents.
