Pokemon might not be a typical JRPG, but it is an RPG.
however i've always wondered if its fair to compare Pokemon White/Black as the same game.
its the same game, but not everyone will by both versions. so is it fair to compare both versions as 1 game.
either way, its obvious the big loser this gen has been the FF series, with 5 years spent developing a game that couldnt make it into the top 5!
