as someone who enjoys other tamer games the first obvious reason is the nostalgia. people are just content with pkmn as long as they can play with something from THEIR childhood. im pretty sure many of the digimon fans we have right now wouldnt exist if it wasnt for nostalgia. the designs can play a role too. its easier to digest something like pkmn because early pkmn just looked like appealing simple animals with an element attached. i cant really tell someone to get into digimon because their little dino evolves into a knight thing with a gun or yokai watch because everything is so quirky and full of japanese people yokai. its off putting to normies. and then when someone tries to do normal animal designs they are too bland. arcanine or pikachu are better executed than hare or tiger from monster rancher. aside from that the mechanics are more comfortable for normies. pkmn is very casual and something they are used to so its even more comfortable. you dont have to evolve your monster and then evolve it back like in in digimon. it doesnt die like in digimon or dragon quest. its always the same get badges become champ loop. you know what you get with a fighting game. you dont know what you get with a tamer game. even the genre can be COMPLETELY different. a tamer game can be a freaking rhythm game instead of a jrpg. honestly most people dont like monster tamer games which is why they dont look at other stuff. they simply dont need to. they have no interest in cool mechanics or the games improving. they just like a casual game from their childhood that happens to have some cartoon characters they are attached to. the pokemon fans who do like monster tamers are already playing other games. you only see these negative insane reactions of people that have some crazy brand attachment to pkmn. which some have and its definitely immaturity/autism.
