I can see why some people don't consider games like Super Paper Mario RPGs, but Pokemon, really? Pokemon has random encounters, dungeons, leveling up, turn based battles, Nintendogs has none. To even doubt Pokemon's credentials at being an RPG is ludicrous. Just out of interest Carl, do you consider the DQ games that involving recruiting monsters pet simulators as well? What are your personal determinants of what is an RPG? Because Pokemon easily meets all of mine.
Calling pokemon a pet simulator is like calling FFVIII a card game because of triple triad.
