>>43526574I'm aware of its definition. But again, the problem is that the term is so fucking nebulous, it can be applied to almost anything that's even remotely abstract. Pikachu is an 'abstraction' of a mouse, fighting in turn-based battles that are 'abstraction' of real life battle, in fictional world that's an 'abstraction' of our own world. See what I mean? Claiming that something is an abstraction is not only a waste of time imo, but it hardly narrows anything when frankly most things in a pokemon game could be classified as not being 100% realistic representations.
So again, 'abstraction' is just a vague buzzword.
