Oh and don't tell me it's not gambling because it's not accompanied by flashing lights and images. Shit every time I use a move that has less than 100% accuracy or my opponent has used an accuracy reducing move or I use a move with a potential additional effect I'm gambling with the end goal being a win, a win that is accompanied by a victory song that encourages repeated plays.
The basis of the game mechanic is gambling for reward. That's what pokemon is. It's addictive for the same reason slot machines are.
