Dude, seriously. The contrarians are out on full display with this game. You see the same poorly thought out points regurgitated in every thread.

The monsters look like Pokemon and you capture them in balls. That's the extent of the similarities.

But what you can do after that is fun and unique. I've always wanted to play a game where I could live with Pokemon. Having a Vulpix help me cook my food and a Piplup help me water my crops is awesome.

And the counter argument against contrarians is that it’s not an issue that the monsters are uninspired copies. I mean it’s not like they are the leitmotiv of the game... I guess GameFreak managed to set the bar very low.

I’m reallu happy that people are enjoying the game, especially with GF underdelivering for so long, but to me, the game looks like an asset flip with heavy… inspiration in monster design.
