Other people can make shit that's like other shit. Nearly all creative media of modern origin is mixtures and rearrangements of at least the ideas behind other works. You're reading like an old man yelling at a cloud.

Should Sonic The Hedgehog not exist? it's clearly a platformer trying to rip off Mario. Should the Spyro or Rayman have never been allowed to happen? Clearly they were just trying to rip off SM64.

Your complaint is that someone who isn't the Pokémon company made a game about capturing animals and making them fight for you. And that someone who isn't Nintendo made a game where you can climb and glide. And, I assume, someone who isn't Mojang made a game about survival and crafting mechanics? Did you complain when Fortnite "stole" the entire battle royale formula from PUBG? Or Apex Legends? Did you complain when Overwatch "stole" TF/TF2 from Valve? Or when Quake "stole" DOOM? Do you think none of these should have been made?

You're misunderstanding people's lack of caring about the "stealing" (lmao) for a lack of understanding.

If Nintendo and The Pokémon Company don't want to deal with this kind of direct competition, they should pull their heads out of their asses and start delivering meaningfully good Pokémon games instead of the series of recent corner-cutting yearly trainwrecks. A demand has created a supply. Cope.

EDIT: Wow nevermind lmao. I see the rest of your emotional thrashing in the rest of this thread. You're just mad something looks like something you like, but is different in ways you don't like. You think this somehow devalues your choices and preferences and "emotional bonds" with your Pokémon. Not true. You think others enjoying something you don't like makes you "wrong". Not true. I think your value system is damaged and you're defensive as fuck. Try ignoring this game exists, you'll feel better. And you know, if you're right, I guess it'll be gone soon, right?
