And even then, the US patent office often will grant unenforceable patents, that then explode in the patent holder's faces the first time they try to use them.

The granted one in this case is about "the process of aiming and capturing characters", which they either had to make so specific as to not apply to anybody else, or general enough that there are piles of prior art out there.

Except anything they try to patent was already done by the GTA V Pokémon mod several years before any 3D Pokémon game
