>>45064547I have no idea why would you assume I didn't play them and the only thing that could compete with pokemon is the music
>better battle systempokemon's battle system is mainly designed for player vs player, SMT is just singleplayer rolling of the dice trash, it cannot compete with the richness of the pokemon community
>better storyyes, SMT focuses on 'stories', those embarrassing stories that only japanese teenagers and fedoralords can enjoy. humanistic trash made by some demented and pretentious japs
>better characterswhich one? the mute protag? the 'kill your friends kid' edgelord? the fedoralord chaos protagonist? the subtle characterization of the religious protagonist that gets lobotomized? get it? because he's religious he doesn't have a brain? SMT never was praised for its rich characterization
>better monster designsI love kanekos samefaces and the bootleg kamen raiders and now it looks like a shitty danganronpa spinoff
