      Nintendo patents video game inventory system.

      Not the onion.

      (Not a patent lawyer, and I’m sure it’s more complicated than that, but come on)

      Is that the wrong link? This seems totally unrelated to Pokemon in boxes, and is more about multi console character storage systems. This patent just sounds like someone described steam cloud saves in way too many big words.
