I have a work colleague who's really into pokemon and he told me that Nintendo's copyright is absolutely ridiculous. Like, they not only copyrighted pokeballs, but the exact number of times that they shake when used. It's insane. And as everyone could have predicted, they're using their power to crush the competition over insignificant things.

Isn't it better for those patents to have more restrictive specifications?
The vaguer they are, more people/ideas will be blocked by them.
Vague vs. not vague patents don't seem to matter much anyway since they were still able to go after Palworld even though their version of pokeballs were different.
