My guess is the "Pokemon Box Storage" system since palworld stores pals in a palbox.

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.

In the "other references" they link to the bulbapedia article for Pokemon box so I figured thats what the whole thing was about, but yeah it does read like accessing data on a server
