How the hell can one have patent of 'catching a creature through aiming' or even more crazy to me 'riding a creature' in games? Both concepts exist in so many games and even in real life. I mean did Nintendo never hear of horses?

Greed. Simple as that. They only care for money. And they used to get a pass because they made good games. Not anymore.

Riding a creature. "Daggerfall" had ride-able horses. That's the oldest example I can think off. But there's probably something even older than that.
