Royalty Free-For-All is a new platform fighter with the potential to be one of the best. It takes characters and worlds in the public domain and fantastically reimagines them in this currently in-development title.

So apparently all that talk about the Pokémon Company putting a patent in for summoning monsters was almost entirely bogus.

Yes, they did put a patent in place based around capturing and summoning monsters but it only covers direct copy or plagiarism of Pokémon's structure/combat and the code.
