    So… in more readable English, they patented how you can send a Pokemon out to run around with you, and if you throw it directly at an enemy it can start a standard battle where you control your Pokemon, otherwise it automatically paths to the enemy for an autobattle.

    That’s a little more specific than just summoning characters, but still absolutely bullshit to be able to patent. I’m sure there’s prior work that should disqualify this, they just couched it in such overly technical terms they can act like it’s novel.
