  Yeah, Pokemon is not all monster catching games dammit! In fact, I’d go so far as to say it’s literally the worst one out there.

    Pokemon popularized the genre (and heck, it arguably helped popularize JRPGs in general, at least in the west). My issue wasn’t with the word “Pokemon”, but with trying to use “'em up” as if it makes a game a genre.

    Especially when we have “-like” already, as in “Roguelike”.
