What is it with everything being called a Pokemon ripoff?

Pokemon is such a big franchise that people automatically link monster catching games to it.I remeber knowing someone who thought SMT was a rip off despite being released earlier

Pokemon popularized it and is the largest franchise not just in gaming, but in media as a whole.

It's similar to how every "hero shooter" is called an Overwatch clone, or every Battle Royale is called a PUBG or Fortnite clone.

Funny you say that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbhyHGgsuN4

People literally jump at anything and call it a Pokemon ripoff, including a Dragon Ball game from 1992.

wtf, I haven't looked into the game, but it's clearly an old rpg that doesn't even have the same mechanics as pokemon.
Regardless, I find it retarded how creating a monster based franchise basically turns you into a Pokemon ripoff. It's clear that some on the list were undeniably cash grabs after the success of pokemon, but the rest is basically "hurr durr, if you replace x with y it becomes a pokemon ripoff".

Pokemon fans are legitimately stupid. They get incredibly defensive whenever they come across another monster catching/battling series and will call those games ripoffs even when games like Megami Tensei and Dragon Quest V did it before Pokemon. It's what happens when you're so loyal to a series that your brain shuts off when it comes to anything regarding it.

I remember seeing a different list put Monster Hunter as one, not even Stories, since it was made before it existed, just Monster Hunter.

Why stop there? Might as well accuse cock fight or any other sport involving animals fighting each other and bug catching as Pokemon ripoffs.

you guys do realize this isn't just

>retarded poke-fans

right?

DQM games don't get localized anymore, Digimon took a fucking 10 year hiatus, this is doing real damage to the genre in the west.

There aren't that many Monster Games anymore either, even successful ones like Yo-Kai Watch get hissed at on release, at least to an audience outside of Japan.

They monopolized the genre by setting the entry barrier so far up that no one could possibly DREAM of passing it and staying relevant for longer than a quarter of a decade, unless they've been around longer than Pokemon has.

Because of this, it's either Pokemon or nothing, if the series goes objectively downhill, there is no alternative period, 10, 20 years down the line, when it eventually loses it's luster, it's all over for the genre.

Burgers are so dumb they think everything that ends with "mon" is a Pokemon ripoff.
