>>15930172>take away the monsters and Pokemon could be our world with some better technologyYou don't understand what fantastical actually means in this context, do you? Fantasy settings aren't limited to a specific range of technology. They can rely modern technology, early historic technology, and even futuristic technology as long as those settings incorporate a theme that can easily be identified as a fantasy setting.
Pokemon has that. It has monsters, it has magical moves, it has fantasy-based architecture such as castles and ancient structures with their own backstories and myths, it has powerful creatures of legend.
That's not a problem at all. The problem is that you don't seem to have a clue of what you're actually talking about.
