>>47337295>don't get me wrong, but man oh man this franchise is derivative.Ultraman itself is way worse at that. And they aren't just verbatim copying it. Even in this case for instance Cubone doesn't act exactly like Seabozu.
Honestly, as a fan of both franchises, it makes me appreciate Pokemon(and some specific pokemon in this case) more.
I mean, look at Ultra Q(the show that originated what is not the Ultraman franchise)
https://ultra.fandom.com/wiki/Ultra_Q#ProductionThe name is based on what was popular at the time (even if the original name of "Unbalance" would fit the show proper) and most of the initial roster of monsters were props that the company used for Godzilla and other movies.
