But the designs are just reskinned pokemon for the most part. The sheep pal is just wooloo, and the elk is xerneas with a paintover.
Yeah also we have gyarados at home
I think where im at is there isnt a pokemon that isnt already made, pokemon itself already mostly has dud pokemon designs but if you can make something that parallels enough its acceptable to me
But it actually is possible to make a monster-collecting game with original designs though. Just look at monster rancher, none of the monsters from that game look like pokemon. It had a very distinct style.
I think pokemon has just monopolized this genre for far too long, which makes it harder for people making this sort of game to imagine something different.
A monster game with designs like the angels in NGE would be really cool. Get weird with the narrative.
