Let's imagine a world where Pokémon doesn't exist.
Everything else about the universe is 100% identical except for the fact that Pokémon as a whole simply doesn't exist, and whatever ripple-effects that would cause.
How different would pop-culture be as a result of this? For example:
>Would Nintendo have released the Game Boy Color, or would they have jumped straight to Project Atlantis (the GBA's predecessor)?
>Would Digimon have become a monster taming game, or would it have remained an obscure Tamagotchi clone?
>Would Yu-Gi-Oh still pivot hard to cards, or would it have remained a more general "death game" manga?
>Would the western anime industry be as big as it is now without Pokémon to introduce so many people to the medium?
>Without Pokémon money constantly flowing in, how much more worse would Nintendo be doing in the N64, GCN & Wii U eras?
>Without Pokémon fulfilling the JRPG niche in Nintendo's library, would we see more games in series like Golden Sun or MOTHER to fill the void?
>What would Game Freak be doing without Pokémon? Would they just remain code-monkeys for hire, or would they find some other niche, or just dissolve?
>Finally, how different would YOUR life be if Pokémon was a non-factor into it?
Feel free to input any other things you believe would change with no Pokémon as well.
