    The clapback:

    We have received notice of this lawsuit and will begin the appropriate legal proceedings and investigations into the claims of patent infringement.

    At this moment, we are unaware of the specific patents we are accused of infringing upon, and we have not been notified of such details.

      Apparently, in their LONG list of patents, is one for the in-game Pokemon Storage Box. Just speculation, of course, but that could be one the Pokemon Company cites.

    Should be thrown out, they had more than enough time to react, it wasn’t an unknown project but waited until the hype died down, and the money was generated.
