Shin Megami Tensei vs Pokemon. The timeless comparison. Persona vs Pokemon goes hand in hand with it. In this video, I compare and analyze the mechanics of SMT, Persona, and Pokemon to show where their design philosophies align and where they differ. Which one is more of a monster collector and which one is more of a JRPG?... Neither really. My main points of reference will be the mainline Shin Megami Tensei games and mainline Persona games; no spinoffs. Comparisons are applicable to most of the main series Pokemon games, but my main points of reference are the first 4 generations as those are the ones I'm most familiar. Most of my Pokemon footage will consist of Pokemon Red, Pokemon Green, Pokemon Blue, and Pokemon Silver as I've been replaying and recording Gens 1 and 2 recently.
