    Copyright is already cooked, no matter where it’s located. But the way japan acts as if Pokemon invented JRPG battles is simply ridiculous.

      Am I missing some bit of context? Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy still exist (and came first).

        That’s what I meant with “prior art”. Nintendo’s second patent basically explains how any old JRPG worked.
