Why has no monster collecting franchise taken off, like, ever? No studio seems to even be willing to make an attempt, and everyone stopped caring about Temtem like 2 months after it launched, when it was talked about when 'game freak bad' was at its peak in the normie conciousness
Is Pokemon just forever going to be a franchise and never a genre?

literally brand loyalty
do anything, and I mean ANYTHING with a focus on monster collecting/raising, and it will be called a "pokemon clone"

those kinds of games just don't work today. they're obsolete

pokémon is the exception the rule because it's a multimedia empire

Unlike fans of other genres, pokemon fans are notoriously boneheaded about what they play. They don't generally want more experiences like pokemon, they want more pokemon.

Yokai Watch surpassed Pokémon for a while, but then people got over the dance and Level 5 tried to do too much and they killed it.

This was my first thought but I really hoped there would be a more interesting answer than pokemon just being a disney style nostalgia cult

If pokemon were as old as Ultraseven then maybe we might get something else given people usually were less combative and more accepting of ideas that have any sort of similarity to a previous idea.
In the world where every super powered society is a copy of xmen or everything in space is a copy of star trek its impossible.

They really aren't.
The problem is that the biggest innovation in the genre happened to be pokemon go.
