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?

Understanding the origin and evolution of games
