Capture monsters to use them against the scientists who created you. Sail the open ocean in a stolen boat belonging to your captors, and destroy their failed experimental creatures to put an end to the creation of the Synth Beasts.

Damn, I'm seeing elements of WAY more than Pokemon and Metroid in that gif. That's like half my childhood melted down into one game. Looks like it could be a nice nostalgia hit!

What others are you noticing?

The ones that jump out: Zelda, dungeon crawlers like Diablo or Gauntlet Dark Legacy, Final Fantasy, a hint of 1v1 combat like in Bloody Roar, and... I have no idea what the name of the game was, but it was a top-down scrolling jet-fighter with super dense enemy attack patterns so you were in a pretty much constant state of dodging waves of energy-balls and such.
