Siliconera: Perhaps inspired by the breakout success of Pokémon, Atlus retooled the demon catching concept from Shin Megami Tensei for a kids game.
Next week, the Nintendo 3DS gets a pair of Shin Megami Tensei games via the Virtual Console service in Japan. Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children Black Book and Red Book will be making their way to the Nintendo eShop.
GI - "The Pokémon series has tasked us with catching them all since its inception in the ‘90s, a tradition that continues with the solid Pokémon X and Y entries. Hunting down critters that also fight for you can be an enthralling prospect, so much so that some diehard fans of the mechanic may need to look to other series for satisfaction."
I always thought digimon couldve been sony's or sega's answer to nintendos pokemon series :/ i remember back in the day i really liked it more than the pokemon series. Too bad it wasnt executed to well in games :( although rumble arena for ps1 was awesome haha
Persona 4: The Golden on PlayStation Vita is the best example of a "Pokemon on a PlayStation" type of experience I can think of - and frankly, the story is much better.
Persona is more of an adult-audience Pokemon game. As it's collecting mythological creatures and gods.
F U Sony Japan.

Man...
I wished it's for PSP too... : /
