We've played a little bit of Pokemon, but never really got into it. Probably because of the peer pressure from other furries to like or at least know all the different critters.

In NMS everyone's procedurally generated, so there's none of that! And it turns out the battle system is really fun. I like all the buffs/debuffs/shields/"hit after 3 turns"/etc. moves.

Oh, and it's all holographic, so no one gets hurt.

I do wish you got the opportunity to start swapping moves before getting to max level, though. Can't even start tinkering before maxing out.

New critter battle screen. Our Jisa-Jisa (a wolfish desert creature with a stegosaurus tail) is fighting Oceanus's Uozuy-Uozuy, a low-flying bug.

From what I understand, that patent was lost in the US, but I can imagine they could try and throw money at the UK legal system to try and end them because UK patent being different from US patent. Wouldn't put it past them to try it in another country. Probably would be less than a drop in the bucket for their financials compared to what they would get in full control over a single genre of game.
