it's an extremely simplified Pokemon game that is designed for elementary kids.
that is why there is little hype on forums.

Kinda what I guessed but the same thing could have been said about Pokemon in the 90's when we were kids and we loved it and still do. Maybe it'll be this generation's Pokemon or something. And I'm being optimistic here, hoping that it'll take off like Pokemon like Nintendo is hoping but I just don't see it happening sadly.

I don't think Nintendo wants this game to be a smashing success, because chances are, it could cannibalize pokemon sales, which would hurt Nintendo.
