In the date part of the google link says "After: priority 2024-04-30". If that is the date the patent was filed, it means they filed AFTER Palworld released (january 19th 2024 in early access). Kinda makes me feel they just did it to fuck with Palworld. This affair becomes nastier by the minute.

Not quite. The patent linked here claims priority to an earlier patent from December 2021 (one month before the release of Legends Arceus) because this is not a new patent, but rather an updated version of the older 2021 patent (note how the expiration date is still in 2041).

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I wasn't sure if it actually was that recent or a reapplication.
