Nintendo rarely goes after other companies for patents. They have tons of patents which can probably be used to sue half the games available these days. They do go after others very aggressively where their IP or trademark is concerned.
Pocketpair is one of the exception, though that case has it’s own nuances, and they aren’t such a small “indie developer” (have backing of companies like Sony, which has it’s own history with Nintendo)

They didn’t get the backing of Sony until much later.
It was before the case started, IIRC.
Nintendo already announced their intent far before the case was filed.
