Gameplay is always the biggest turn off for me.
Imo many of these games have fantastic designs. I feel a lot of people hate them because they go into them thinking they have pokemon's design philosophy when they don't. Especially with how people view fakemon as trash simply because they're fake, I can't really take 'the designs' as a serious answer.
Except with Temtem. Those are horseshit.
But many of my issues come down to gameplay and story. I've played several monster-catching mobile games and their gameplay are all bland and terrible.
