>>32104650To add to this, I'm particularly fascinated by the concept of types. In other games, or even media and culture in general, you won't get much more than the few classical elements : air, fire, water, earth. Sometimes a couple more such as light/dark.
Pokemon takes EIGHTEEN of them and treats them all as being individually relevant and part of a living world. You get crazy shit like "poison", "fairy", "bug" or "dragon". After all these years we take them for granted, but have you ever stopped and thought about "Dragon" being an element just like fire or water?
I think that's fucking amazing.
