How is Pokemon a JRPG in any way, shape or form? It's about as much a JRPG as The Legend of Zelda. |
This is the funniest thing I've read in a while. Please go ahead and explain to me how it is NOT an JRPG?
Here are some reasons why it is a JRPG:
Stats/Level System for a Party.
Turn Based battles that use a strategy such as items, and status effects.
Store system almost identical to that found in other Jrpgs. You buy a set number of items and upgrades, you can sell items and upgrades at a cheaper price than what you buy them for.
Slight Adventuring aspects. Most RPGs have them, even Jrpgs. Jrpgs mostly only have slight adventuring and nothing too exciting. Pokemon can be described as such.
Oh and btw, I am doubting your Legend of Zelda comparison. To be honest some games in the Zelda series, such as Zelda II can be labeled as Jrpgs. So here I ask, if pokemon isn't a Jrpg what is it? Almost everybody who has played a pokemon game and those who haven't know it is a Jrpg.
