How do you review a visual novel without knowing its a visual novel. Also Digimon’s premise differs from Pokemon in a lot more ways than just the creatures can talk. This just reads like the reviewer has no idea what they are even reviewing.

The fact that the author knows nothing about the source material is blatantly obvious. Pokemon and Digimon may at the very bottom level be similar but if you go anywhere past that you realize just how different they are.

It took all but 2 paragraphs for me to know I would be dismissing the entire article.

People who play visual novels and complain that they are, in fact, visual novels are so incredibly frustrating. Please go do that to literally any other genre and leave visual novels alone.  It’s ok to just acknowledge that a genre isn’t for you and move along.
