People here are too casuals and "I'm dudebro why I would wast time playig nerd stuff" to understand the appeal of non-pokemon games, Pokemon is known as THE "first baby's rpg" for a reason, most people had little to no contact with others games in general, they growed up with Pokemon and Pokemon only, probably the only other games that they played were things like Super Mario and other 2~3 of your choice.
Pokemon is far from the most inspired franchise, it didn't even invent the monster catching genre like some people seems to believe, not trying to bash Pokemon or anything, I'm in this board because I also enjoy the franchise in some way or other, but at least I don't blindly believe that "Pkmn is the best game, nothing more is worth of my time" crap that some people here are spouting.
Exploring new games and getting to know new franchises is something pretty refreshing, don't be these guys that suffer from stockholm syndrome and that hates every new game in the franchise, but also can't play anything besides Pokemon, it's pretty lame, just toss these imaginary ropes aside and try something different, be it old or recent, there's many interesting games and genres out there.
