Shooting at Pokémon with assault rifles feels so wrong. It feels like a weird mod that doesn't match the core of the game.
I just saw a 2 minute video to form that opinion, but I'll check more about it.
It'd say that exactly what most of the haters are not getting. This is not supposed to be a Pokemon game. It's a survival crafting and basebuilding game, that uses Pokemon for a great effect and neatly integrates some of the aspects of Pokemon games to fit into the genre.
I'm not saying this is a Pokémon game, but those are Pokémons, they even have Pokeballs. They are so similar to Pokémons that everyone is talking about it.
Anyways, I really don't care, I don't play Pokémon and won't play this game.... but those are Pokémon.
Sure. And I look at the first gen Pokemon and say, "those are Dragon Quest monsters."
Yes, you can do that too
But what is gained from that?
A smug sense of self-satisfaction
Understanding the origin and evolution of games
Fair enough.
