Is it just the advertising that you disagree with? Kinda seems like pokemon is also a slavery and exploitation simulator but all the slaves have happy faces instead of sad ones

Pokemon is a wrestling manager simulator

Seeing the rock on the street and trying to capture him in a ball

Don't just come in here with takes I'll be thinking about all day.

It's 100% correct. Pokemon is Wrestle Angels.

Yes, i also don't like Pokemon very much, but Pokemon isn't openly being advertised to chuds as slavery simulator. I don't have opinion on a game, as you can notice reading the previous posts, but whomever wrote the advert needs long rest in gulag.

This is a theme that's been explored several times in Pokemon anime and video games already and even more so in the manga very explicitly.

This game obviously takes it to the extreme, but is not fundamentally different to Pokemon.

I think people are just nostalgia pilled
