>>55554077there's such a stupidly high number of essentials games that cover completely different bases nowadays that calling them all edgy fanfic wannabes is just blatantly untrue, hell, I'm pretty sure that your idea of
>pokemon firered but the level cap is 300 and you adventure through every single region of the franchise with obvious differences given that theres shit like the hoenn protag already finishing their adventure or the fact that ethan and silver are still 7 years old kidsactually exists, or is at least pretty damn close to it, the only thing is that the game is shit in practice so no one talks about it
some of them mimic the sterilized tone of the official games so closely that it makes me want to fall asleep while playing them. so maybe you should look through the catalog yourself instead of assuming shit like insurgence and reborn are the only games that have been made in the past decade
