>>41338830>While there are plenty of other MUCH BETTER monster catching series out there none of them have the nostalgic and religiously dedicated fanbase that Pokemon hasYou're forgetting the more important thing they lack; marketing and reach.
Pokemon is fucking everywhere. It has the most successful animated adaptation of a video game, the highest-selling trading card game, and the highest-selling toys.
Pokemon dominates every market it's in and it's in just about all of them.
Nothing can compete with Pokemon because nothing has the sheer volume of content as Pokemon.
