So like...no mention of which patents?

They're just gonna wing it and hope they have something.

I initially assumed they were referring to the Pokemon franchise but I don't think that's related to patents? Maybe it's a regional thing?

You can't patent certain game mechanics. Would have to be an actual piece of code that was replicated.
