I do agree with you. Nothing will take pokemon's throne so soon. What I believe is that with that number of games coming out, eventually one will be big, and maybe will have a chance to have this continuity thing that is so great on pokemon (to take your monster collection to future games is fucking AWESOME and in my mind is the secret of pokemon success).

Really? Interesting. That's not the case for me at all. Back on the GBA, DS and 3DS I did care, but now I just leave Pokémon in the game they're from. Probably partially because of the omission of Pokémon in SwSh, which I actually didn't find as bad. Since there weren't thousands to catch, I was motivated again to complete a Pokedex, since it seemed like something doable.
Hm... Maybe I don't care anymore, because I spend less time with Pokémon games than I used too. Or maybe because the creatures themselves all look the same now anyway, since the switch to full 3D, there's nothing interesting or new to see, when transferring old Pokémon.
Even when transferring, you sometimes have to delete moves or there's better moves available in newer games, so I tend to just breed or catch a new one. That way I can also still go back and look at how the Pokémon were like in the older games.

Pokémon is the biggest franchise on earth.
As much as I'd like to, but to get another game, or rather franchise, to take its spot, you'd need to wipe out everyone's memories and then the Pokémon Company.

This is the crux of my problem with these types of games.
There's irreplaceable time and investment I have with (most of the) Pokemon to the point that nothing else can really interest me in the exact same way. I guess you could say they're fine for a bit of light fun without aiming to completely dethrone the titan, but even so, I'll always be comparing to Pokemon, and I'll always come back to the classic.

Shin Megami Tensei is the only other 'monster collector' kind of game that can stand up separate to Pokemon for me, but I think that's because:
A) It's very different and isn't aiming to do what Pokemon does, and
B) It uses mythological and folklore creatures that are identifiable and interesting, so they're more identifiable than some random made-up creatures that haven't come from Gamefreak.

i remenber people calling Tem Tem the pokemon killer, and then it came out and its an average game that requires always online for the in-game economic reasons or whatever excuse they gave...

No. Pokemon clone.

Guys just because pokemon is a thing doesn't make every monster training/collector game a clone it's just pokemon has such base mechanics that it's required by most games to even count as games. It's just childish to throw a game under the bus cause it shares the same basic structure. It's like comparing every car to the Model T or Model A and saying they are just clones.

That being said this does remind me of digimon frontier and how they fuse with digimon even the ability to fuse with multiple.

I searched for "trailer for new pokemon clone" and Palworld came up in abdundance.

I don't think it's the one I was thinking about earlier, though...

Pokemon clone with scanning = digimon clone

This one seems really promising. I miss the gbc and gba days with a ton of creature collection games.
