>>36096234Pokemon is only as popular as it is because it's one of the few RPGs with a true, realt-time PvP element to it. There are a handful of games that let you upload units that other players can fight an AI version of but it's not the same desu
Also you can arbitrarily take 20 pokemon out and make kids trade with the other version to get them, and they'll do it. We did it. We were fools, the lot of us. Some poorsaps got bamboozled into buying two versions of the same game and bragged about it on the schoolyard. What fools we all were.
