the amount of cope on that second post is insane
The idea that no other series does what Pokemon does is crazy.
Zelda might not start every game with "it's dangerous to go alone", but you know what it does? It has the Temple of Time in every game, it has the Master Sword in every game, it follows the same exact gameplay structure that was introduced in A Link to the Past in every game.
2D Mario literally follows the exact same world order in every single game and fellates Mario 3 constantly.
Almost every single Sonic game starts in a grassy hill by the ocean area reminiscent of Green Hill, if not just outright using Green Hill like Sonic Forces does.
Pokemon constantly fellating its most popular entry is not something exclusive to this franchise.
