Introduction

There is no denying that Pokémon is one of the largest entertainment franchises in the world and the most influential series in the monster collector genre of video games, and thus inspiring many games in the genre. Cassette Beasts, an indie monster collector role-playing game developed by the England-based indie studio Bytten Studio, is not an exception, as it does share similarities to Pokémon.

However, calling Cassette Beasts a Pokémon clone is doing it a massive disservice, because Cassette Beasts executes many mechanics and aspects of Pokémon games in different, and sometimes arguably better ways.

Cassette Beasts, on the other hand, as an addition to its companion system and relationship mechanic, provides players the option to pursue a romance with one of their human companions after raising their relationship level to 5, the highest without romance, with unambiguously romantic dialogue and scenes.

Even though I do not play monster collector games for romances, nor am I asking for Pokémon to add romance options to their games because I am too old to be invested in romances involving fictional children, romance options are a nice addition to a game that is made with adult players in mind like Cassette Beasts.

In addition to having canon LGBTQ+ characters, Cassette Beasts's voice cast also includes multiple openly LGBTQ+ voice actors, such as Allegra Clark, J. Michael Tatum, Kayleigh McKee, Liz Morey, Marin M. Miller and Risa Mei. In fact, both Captain Skip and their voice actor Marin M. Miller are non-binary and go by they/them pronouns.

Conclusion

-

While it is understandable to compare Cassette Beasts to Pokémon, Cassette Beasts has countless claims to forge its own identity apart from the pioneer of the monster collector role-playing game genre, as explained throughout this essay. As someone who has played Pokémon games since the Red Version from Generation 1, but has become jaded with the state of the series since Sword and Shield from Generation 8 and is losing interest in playing their recent titles, Cassette Beasts provides a perfect indie alternative for something different.

Frequent releases and rushed development schedules have taken their toll on the quality of recent Pokémon titles, resulting in cutting corners like empty maps, removal of National PokéDex, etc., and in the case of Scarlet and Violet, glitches and performance issues. Furthermore, as a multi-billion dollar corporate-owned franchise, Pokémon is primarily targeted at children and meant to be able to be enjoyed by everyone, so despite a few attempts to do something new, maximising profit is still prioritised over innovation.
