>>36971715You never see any of those things as adamantly advertised as the Z-Crystal poses. You do a dance and END with a pose to do the Z-Move. So yeah, they're copying the concept of adding soulless dances when they had plenty of options to do that before when incorporating them into the battle.
I'm not claiming YKW invented everything. Never did. I'm saying Pokemon had all this time to add such ideas before so it's kinda silly that they would only wait until AFTER YKW started stealing their Japanese kid fanbase to use such ideas.

>"Electabuzz ripoff"The concept of electric oni has existed for a long time. Look into it.
>"fire yellow fox associated with ghosts"The Kyubi predates Ninetales, man.
They kinda DID do their own spin on the design dude. Look into it more. Dulluma actually has another doll inside it and more distinctive happy and sad faces between them.
>Don't forget some Yokai like Peckpocket or Blazion being literal Kirby helpers/enemies ripoffs, or even copying from Dragonball monsters like Chummers being a ripoff of Agarizame.Fine I'll give you that one since those are supposed to be more original ideas.
Well, yeah. That SHOULD be obvious, given YKW2 had befriendable bosses like 2 years before Pokemon decided all of a sudden to make boss monsters a feature and make them befriendable.
