I mean, that’s fair. I wasn’t expecting game-of-the-year out of it. I really don’t care about stock assets as long as they don’t distract from the game.
I’ll be totally honest though: pokemon is one of the highest grossing media franchises of all time, I couldn’t care less about folks taking good ideas from them. Their new games are clearly rushed and play badly with bad stories.
I can sympathize with that to a certain extent but this just seems like a shameless cash grab to me. It’s one thing to take good ideas and build on them, it’s another to repackage them just enough that the main goal is avoiding copyright issues.

Cash grab or not. They got the formula down for a fun game. Good for them.
