Awesome. Game Freak needed some competition, they've been coasting for at least a decade.
I mean, it's more competition for ARK than Pokemon. I doubt Game Freak learns anything from all this unfortunately.
I heard cassette beasts is providing some direct competition but it wasn't nearly as successful.
Yeah, that one is real competition - at least gameplay wise - and a wonderful example of taking inspiration from Pokemon while still making something their own. It really deserves more attention than it got.
Instead we get plagiarism simulator 9000 because it made for great YouTube clickbait.
Cassette Beasts has so much soul put into it, it's a fucking crime that it ain't more popular
