Heh, maybe I’m splitting hairs, but if you want a game “like Pokemon”, they’ve been making exactly that game for 30 years, but there’s only a handful of games in the ballpark of Bloodborne. If you want the fantasy of roaming a world, catching creatures, and battling with them, there are lots of ways to skin that cat that GameFreak and Nintendo haven’t been doing that aren’t at odds with preserving those core pieces. Likewise, I don’t enjoy Monster Hunter, but some of its core pieces are present in the likes of Horizon and Mercenary Kings, and I love those games for taking the high level parts of Monster Hunter that do work for me.
