Not going to lie it's not as if the OG games were particularly Japanese in style.

You're a 10 year old throwing monsters at people to make money and capture other monsters to become the world champion monster person.
Even when the OG games were released Japan had a pretty obvious theme going on, giant robots firing missiles everywhere, ninjas and other shit like that. Pokemon was surprisingly non-Japanese for a Japanese product.
This is kinda the biggest thing here. Lots of western influence is pushing this.
What sucks the most is most western players do not want the western influence
It's as if there was something special that attracted westerners to it in the first place.

Almost like they appreciate the diversity and uniqueness that comes from another culture's creations.
SJWs hate that. Actual real appreciation for diversity? It kills their con.
Even Japanese SJWs know this. They are traitors that purposely try to invite woke foreign interference in to Japan
Of course, they are destroying all civilizations. Not just one of them.
