Question for the thread: Are there any good Pokemon clones aimed at older audiences? I don't mean all grimdark or anything, just something a bit more challenging than the usual monster catching game aimed at 6-13 year olds like Pokemon and Yokai Watch.

Shin Megami Tensei, or a Nuzlocke/Wonderlocke run of an actual Pokémon game.

Not to double post, but Charizard can't even learn Fly in RB! The only game where it's legitimately a starter and can Fly is FRLG.

Actually, he can learn fly in Yellow too.

That's the point. Charizard can learn Fly in Yellow, but he isn't a starter in that game!

Doing a nuzlocke/egglocke run of XY/ORAS with Exp Share off (of course) can be legitimately challenging and super fun without turning into Grind City between gyms as many poorly designed ROM hacks tend to be.

The art design looks nothing like Digimon. It looks like a hyped up legendary beast. That's why all the "it's a Digimon!!!" cries whenever there's a slightly more involved new design are immensely silly.

the only Digimon I ever saw was the English dub of the movie with All Star by Smash Mouth, so I googled it and I guess Diabolomon is my favorite because he looks like that Rowlet evolution

Digimon owns hard, but its similarities to Pokemon are as superficial as "it has monsters" and "sometimes they are animals". That's why the comparisons are tiring.

Tailmon is the best though.

I bought the digimon game for ps4 and despite the cyberpunky aesthetic and the anime babes I was compelled to abandon it and buy a bunch of used DS pokemon games instead. a cautionary tale

Digimon tends to not have the best track record with videogames, ironically enough. Cyber Slueth being genuinely good is an exception to the rule, even if it is grindy as all hell.

I mean I grew up loving Digimon and obviously the designs are quite different, but when it comes to the overdesigned pokemon (Black/White Kyurem, Hoopa Unbound, That Lion) I can see how the comparisons might be apt.

That said, none of the starters look like Digimon.

One of the worst parts of digimon is the -mon suffix mandate. Could get some good creative names that aren't just description-mon.
