>>57371524i believe you because this literally exists
and it's an open world monster collection game
and it's not gacha
and you can ride nearly any mon (with fluid transitions between their walking/running and swimming animations)
and it has legends arceus features
and monsters have actual contact-based animations for contact-based moves
just goes to show how lazy lamefreak really is when some literal who company makes a better game than one of the biggest ips in the world
