play a pokemon game if there weren't pokemon in it? like, say for instance the exact same plot and mechanics but you there are no pokemon. would you still play the game? or do you only care because there are pokemon in it?
i'm asking because it seems like pokemon fans would buy any game as long as there were pokemon in it. the game could be total shit with a horrible story, gameplay and graphics, but people will only buy it for the pokemon characters. in other words, the pokemon franchise isn't about the games anymore. it's about the intillectual properties
