- Pokemon but it's Minecraft and the Pokemon walk around with you and you can play with your friends
- Pokemon but with Guns
- Pokemon but it's a Horror
- Pokemon but it's Persona
- Pokemon but it's Open world (they literally made this one)
- Pokemon but it's D&D (they also already made this)
- Pokemon but it's an MMO
- Pokemon but Innovative and Fresh like damn
- Pokemon but it that feels like Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 0
I don't really know what I'm trying to say here other than I'm apparently completely out of touch with what the general populous wants...
I don't really care about the Pokemon company I certainly don't want to defend Gamefreak and I'm glad that people are having fun because I don't want to rain on a parade.
I'm just feeling some kinda way about the Pal-game's success that has me questioning a lot about the nature of artistic integrity and my own place in life as an artist...
Like wow Ark but reskinned with stolen assets can sell 6 million copies and break every record in less than a week, charging $40aud at early access... A game who's CEO represents everything that is scary in the world for artists atm.
But also like Nintendo fans sending death threats to Devs and rumor mills trying to convince themselves the devs used AI because of what the CEO said is also like super fucked?! Like ultimately it's a harmless parody game, but so many are also taking it really seriously and I just aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Media literacy is dead and I never want to hear a Gamer™ complain about the price of an indie game ever again
