Because people like pokemon that's why.

There's plenty of games with "edgy monsters" and I literally always forget them. But a fucking crab with a traffic cone for a shell? I will NEVER forget.

Besides the last franchise that tried to compete with Pokemon on top of adding the edgy monsters was Digimon and that's...questionable at best.

Calling Digimon edgy is hilarious. It's just Pokemon but with constant crying. And so far no one actually managed to provide any examples of those games that you say exist plenty of. But then again, you consider Digimon one of them, soooo...

Shin Megami Tensei and Dragon Quest Monsters come to mind. Both have some edgy designs. Yes, Digimon has some as well.

Not that I even should have spent the time typing this, you're just being rude so it's hard to tell if you're even making a good faith argument. What do you even mean by "Pokemon but with constant crying"?

SMT has already been mentioned and that doesn't look too much better. DQM I also stated is maybe an upper from kiddo to teenage stuff. Yes, it has a little more better designs but overall it isn't that great. The crying was in reference to the TV shows.

You call me rude but just repeat the same shit that has already been discussed here over the last few hours (long before your reply). Maybe try to gaslight someone else because I'm out.
