(07/08/08, 03:52) The biggest issue would be that the PSP's phoenix-like rebirth in Japan was due to a mix of market saturation for the DS and the release of a new game in the PSP's answer to Pokemon. Overall software sales in Japan for the PSP have not risen noticeably in spite of the hardware up-spike. That does not make a system look appealing to developers. Not that the inherent piracy that surrounds the PSP would do them much more encouragement (even if in reality the number of people who will pirate a game when the option arises but buy it when the piracy option is unavailable is very small).

 

Here is a small reference, i talk to people all the time thinking it's exactly like pokemon but 3-D. it makes me crazy O_o He personally may be refering it to as the DS has pokemon and it's a pokemon killer, however once again....that's comparing the two games and making them seem reallly similar.

You read the context of that post wrong.

The post's focus is on sales.  Sky Render isn't comparing the gameplay to pokemon, he's comparing the popularity and fanbase to pokemon.
