I love Pokemon but the way I think of SMT is Pokemon but imagine if it was actually good. The literal only thing that Pokemon has on SMT is the depth of how you can modify your Pokemon's stats with IV, EVs, and natures. Otherwise SMT does literally everything better. You can not name a single other thing Pokemon has on SMT.
