This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Counterpoint: Summoning characters by throwing an item and having the character appear at the position of the item has been patented by Nintendo, as has using a summoned character as a hang glider.

Japanese patent law is pretty terrible.

Those are litigation & therefore in an indeterminate state. They have lost recently within Japanese law just this week on their touchscreens.

Also, IANAL. Nothing I say should be considered formal legal advice.
