>>39511480Lack of interactivity/gameplay variety within the environment and dungeons. Recycling of content(recoloured enemies) in favour of continually introduction of new elements(Pokémon). Adhereance to a straightfoward good vs evil/corrupted storyline in the exact same generic fantasy setting with the same old Akira Toriyama art style and creatures.
They lack of accessibility and are inable to draw in anyone who didn't already enjoy the RPG genre. Even if Pokémon lost is audience none of it's contempories are doing jack shit that would actually draw those people in.
>>39511564Look deeper than surface level. Dragon Quest is just a beautified version of the exact same NES game convention. Pokémon isn't complex but the principles behind Pokémon since Red/Blue are inherently far more modern than the tired conventions of the other RPGs are trying to follow. The National Dex is irrelevant.
