Game media sites where making a big deal about it being a "pokemon killer" because of its strong sales in Japan, when in fact the two exist side by side with little issue, just like most monster collecting games over there. /vp/ is super defensive about Pokemon so any mention of it triggers the expected reaction. Pointing out how un-pokemon like the designs are, mocking the sales, making memes.
The games play nothing alike and have totally different feels. Trying to compare them is like comparing CoD to Metroid Prime. Yes, they're both in the same basic genre, but they're nothing alike beyond the basic conceptual mechanics.
