ChocoboMogALT 01/31/22 4:00:33 AM #15:	Was monster catching in Nethack at the time, though? Anyway, Pokemon came up with a whole winning formula that really doesn't need much changing. Pick starter, rival fight, explore, gym, explore, gym, ..., E4... Compare that to other RPGs. It gets you attached to your monsters, controls the pace of difficulty while giving you plenty to explore, establishes and gets you attached to the world. It's great for new RPG players, people who literally can't read, and still entertains mature players. I don't think it's just capturing monsters, but the whole formula (and originally great world building) that grabs people's interest. --- "We live in a country Hasire.." ~ yosouf06 REVOLVER STAKE! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v717/ChocoboMog123/AltEisenRChocoboMog.png <cite>ChocoboMogALT posted [p:962232907] in GameFreak ...
