>and in reality you can delete your type by a few moves
but then it becomes a disadvantage because not only do you lose STAB, but also the stats that rely on STAB
>monsters are all the same every game >the games are all the same every game >nothing evolves, you have to alchemy them into something that isn't even a fusion
Gameplay, graphics, animations, postgame, etc.
Every game except for the first joker have always mogged pokemon hard in almost every aspect
When a DS game that's older than a decade has better animations than a recent switch title, you know things are dire

Too bad they're all the same game anyway without some new gimmick, cosmetic, or even active online community/traffic. Suuuure ALL pokemon games are the same, but there are all these new characters that dont need to be fused as the game progresses, a gimmick that turns tables, and minimal graphical improvements that shows it's an actual new game

>Joker 3 >Break monsters, advancing the size syatem, over 800 monsters, mixing traits and allowing any monster to be any size >Same games
Also, the graphical jumps between these games are much higher than in pkmn too, if you compare joker 1 2 and 3, and the 3ds remakes of the original monsters games
Every game is way fresher than pkmn who just make a dumb generational gimmick that is forgotten as soon as the next gen rolls out.

if only every game didnt always start you with a team of Dracky, Slime and a Mushroom Mallet, id value these things at some point
What's up with zoomers treating ??? Arceus as if it means anything? It was only included to make sure the game wouldn't crash, since that used to be an important consideration in making console games.
It's soulful. They gave it its own sprites and color scheme. Gen V-VII Game Freak would just use normal Arceus as a placeholder, and Gen VIII+ Game Freak wouldn't even bother coding a fail-safe for it in the first place.
Because being typeless is reserved for attacks like Burn Up and Plasma Fists. There are typeless Pokemon, Arcanine is one of them. It is a lot less romantic than you think
Burn Up is a fire type move that does a really strong hit but removes the fire typing
If Typhlosion or Arcanine uses it, the only 2 pure fire types that can use it, they both become Typeless
You basically resists/are weak to nothing and you get no STAB, pretty shit honestly
More of that would be interesting. Not just a typeless type move for many mono-mons, but also just being typeless. Maybe you have high defenses but low attack, etc, but all you can hope for is a critical or effect keeping you alive
"normal" is actually abnormal and it's typeless. although rather than being entirely typeless its probably more the absence of types on a being capable of having them. humans are probably more like the entirely typeless freaks, and they are pokemon anyway (although the furthest thing from a giant, they still got crumbs of elemental energy in their dna)
>Why come
It's called typeless for a reason. In lore there's Type:Null, and in reality you can delete your type by a few moves
>and in reality you can delete your type by a few moves

Then nothing can be SE
That's an advantage
They could just as well give it stats and a movepool that could overcome that
Only in a few cases like doing some hacky bullshit to get a typeless Shedinja
Because that would be ripping off Dragon Quest Monsters, the superior monster catching franchise

Yes, and still better than Pokemon
no one else even cares about those games. They're hardly mentioned in generals nor even hyped before release
Yes, and still better than Pokemon
Explain how then

Are they big in JP at least? Asking the room since you probably don't know
Sure, in an equal sense as Minions or any Nick Jr mascots that are popular here

Because a pokemon without type interaction is dull.
Because it doesn't bring out visual "effective this and that" cues or STAB?
