Why is Dragon Quest Monsters so much better than Pokémon?

Dragon Quest Monsters Joker on the DS was FULLY 3D, and it had NO RANDOM ENCOUNTERS ON THE DS, FULLY OVERWORLD WALKING/RUNNING monsters.
Dragon Quest Monsters 2 on the GAMEBOY, had not one but three following monsters at all times.
Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 3 on the 3DS let you ride any monster.

Why is this small obscure spin-off series so much better than the largest media franchise in the world?
Can't wait until the new DQM on the Switch BTFOs Sword & Shield.

And it's pretty much always on the verge of death because people just don't buy these games. Meanwhile, Gamefreak can shit out Sword and Shield and make record profits.
I know sales=/=quality, but it's still so unfair..

The battles suck ass. I tried these games so many times but I just can't stand how slow and clunky these games are. The story isn't even interesting since it's DQ clique crap.

Pokemon sells because people are attached to the creatures. Dragon Quest has Slime and all its palette swaps then most of the other stuff is goofy/dumb/ugly. Toriyama designs have limited appeal.

To anybody that is disappointed by nu-Pokémon, I highly recommend you try out Dragon Quest Monsters 2: Cobi's Journey / Tara's Journey on the GameBoy Color. It has everything nu-Pokémon lacks. Charming GameBoy Color graphics, a REAL rival, hefty post-game content, real dungeon exploration, good RPG mechanics etc. It has a mechanic where you can breed 2 monsters together to make a new, more powerful one, that will inherit the moves of its parents. It's really satisfying to make a cool, rare, poweful monster by breeding 2 weaker ones, then breed that one into an ever rarer one, etc. Max-comfy game.

Reminder Dragon Quest Monsters Joker came out on the Nintendo DS almost the SAME MONTH AS DIAMOND AND PEARL and has a better, more realistic, alive and ambitious overworld than Sword & Shield.

I don't know I haven't played the first one yet.
But I think you should start with 2 anyway.
