>>53075733it’s because Pokémon is babies first RPG carried by decades of nostalgia and built up content
if Ubisoft or EA or whoever tried to make a Pokéclone nobody would give a shit because they’d have no connection to the monsters, it’d be like any other game where people play it for a couple weeks then move on
there’s a reason other attempts at monster collectors (Spectrobes, Yo-Kai Watch, etc.) only existed in Pokémon’s shadow, and it’s not because they were worse games
