Pokemon is one of my favorite series by far and I play the following series in a similar subgenre
>Digimon>SMT>Monster Rancher>Fossil Fighters>Spectrobes There is no game that replaces what Pokemon does. SMT is fucking fantastic but it has a completely different appeal. You can enjoy multiple franchises at once.
Pokemon is in a shit time I agree, with Gen 8 being the only generation I would call irredeemably awful, but you have a retardedly arrogant mind if you write off people's tastes as only nostalgia. You aren't the only human capable of thinking critically about their media
