Press x to doubt.
Just because the pokemon level up doesn't make it a RPG
Over world exploration,Pokemon customization and level ups make it a Jrpg. And if you refute that then by your own criteria there is no such thing as a jrpg.
It's like the most brain dead
Play a romhack,that is where the difficulty comes from since the trainers are gimped on purpose by the devs.
Or just do a nuzlocke run on anything that isn't post gen 6.
There is not a single strategy game element in Pokemon minus the conquest spin off.
with you just needing to have the right type to 2 or 3 shot a pokemon
Types? You only need a couple of moves and speed,types are completely irrelevant unless you choose the worst stat Pokemon.
You have items that let you survive with 1 hp and then you just kill the enemy.
Shouldn't even be considered for best game in whatever genre it's in
It is called monster trainer.And yes,it is worse then dq monsters,but the romhacks make it into the top of the genre.
