>>43125544The main reason people like you and the Pokémon fanbase has completely dogshit standards is because you all have apparently never played another JRPG ever, so you have no reference point upon which to make comparisons. I won't deny that Pokémon plays a unique role in videogame and popular culture as a socially oriented and competitive monster tamer RPG, however as a member of the broader JRPG genre Pokémon has always been outperformed mechanically, graphically and narratively by other JRPGs released on the same console.
