      Yeah it’s obviously like Pokémon in several key regards but from what I’ve seen of it the actual game has a lot of originality and new concepts. We shouldn’t need to completely reinvent everything all the time, when something has a big cultural impact on people as children they should be allowed to play with and evolve those concepts - I know Pokémon doesn’t understand how evolution works but we as a society should take our cultural property seriously.

      If you shove your ideas into kids brains then the adults who grow from those kids should own those ideas, the only reason we don’t is because Disney wanted a monopoly on mouse picture.

      Set copyright to something reasonable like twenty years and focus on making a better society with free growth of ideas and expression rather than protecting the profits of the richest few

        Honestly, I don’t think it has any original concepts, but it does merge a lot of concepts from other games into a fairly cohesive package. There’s nothing it does, from what I’ve seen, that isn’t done in another game, but the fact that all systems connect with each other and work together is fairly impressive.
