    I’m a die hard Nintendo fan. Been playing Nintendo since I was like 4.
    Pokémon is one of my favourite gaming series ever.
    However, I also play games that are basically Pokémon but with a different name. So long as there’s not actual copyright being broken, who cares? Pokémon is an insanely successful franchise, if other companies want to try using the idea for their games in hopes of success. Go for it! It’s fun seeing all the variants.
    I get why people hate seeing their favourite game ‘ripped off’, but if Nintendo see it as an issue, they’ll deal with it themselves. People need to chill out, I’m pretty sure Nintendo are capable of fighting their own battles. It’s not like they’re a small company of 10 people who might of not seen the game.

      Pokemon is famous for being the first game to employ child psychologists in its development Team, to analyse what young boys like the most, and to feed that to them.

      You my friend, are playing, due to corporate manipulation, when you were young, which triggered all the things in you, they wanted to trigger.

      Dark, but true. I’ll try and find a source on this later when I have some time.
