    I’m not saying this is a Pokémon game, but those are Pokémons, they even have Pokeballs. They are so similar to Pokémons that everyone is talking about it.

    Anyways, I really don’t care, I don’t play Pokémon and won’t play this game… but those are Pokémon.

      Sure. And I look at the first gen Pokemon and say, “those are Dragon Quest monsters.”
