>>55119589>Ultraman is pretty much a defining kaiju property so of course the games based on monsters are gonna be influenced by it.I am well aware the influences run deep in many series.
However the thing with pokemon is that it's so blatant and no one calls this shit out. For example not Ultraman, but Salamance is literally devilman as a poorly drawn pillow dragon.
> DQM and Devil Children being pokemon rip offs,DQV came out before pokemon and Shin Megami was always about recruiting dudes. So other can shove it.
