@braiden While both are RPGs, the focus and gameplay, practically everything in the game is different. Like if you would compare Overwatch to Call of Duty, both FPS genre, but drastically different mechanics. Said that, Final Fantasy games live from its atmosphere, characters and epic single player story. And the game mechanics are often very interestingly done. PokeMon is more like a multiplayer game. First, it does not have a epic story or characters like a Final Fantasy game. The main focus more like searching, collection, training your monsters. And also fighting and trading with others is integral part of the series. Probably everyone knew it already, but I just feel like bringing it up here.
@beyonslay I am a bit suprised you mention this game, because I thought of retro only. But you are absolutely right, this Zelda game is probably one of the most important games to play. I still did not, as I don't own a Switch. But I will play it for sure, maybe this year.
