Why do some Pokemon clones succeed better than others? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, a Pokemon clone is a game that focuses on catching and battling a variety of creatures. These days there are quite a few games that fit that description, but originally there was only Pokemon and Digimon. However, some newer Pokemon clones have actually done really well, and helped the genre grow into something more. I think for a Pokemon clone to succeed, it needs original features. Unique gameplay, stories, game mechanics, and creatures almost always help a game like this succeed. Basically, it has to have something that can't be found in Pokemon. This helps players become interested in the series as its own thing instead of constantly comparing it to Pokemon. When something is just a rip-off of Pokemon, no one will pick it over the original series. But if something adds something new, then more people will be interested in it. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
