>>36361052Pokemon is cool monsters that people can collect, befriend, and battle. That's it. That's the whole concept. Everything else is an extrapolation of that idea.
It originates with a video game. Some people like to play the video games, some people like to watch the anime, some people like to buy the toys.
But no matter what version of Pokemon you like, you like it because you like the concept of cool monsters that you can collect, befriend and battle, and everything else comes after that.
>>36361060I disagree, Pokemon also adds new designs with every generation, and though the previous Transformers get slightly different designs, they're rooted in the originals, just like how people will draw Pokemon in different styles and still like them.
Just like with Pokemon, people like Transformers because of the core concept, and the individual pieces of media are secondary. People watch the Transformers movies, cartoons, or buy the toys because they think giant robots that transform are cool. Compare with Gundam as well.
