But it actually is possible to make a monster-collecting game with original designs though. Just look at monster rancher, none of the monsters from that game look like pokemon. It had a very distinct style.
I think pokemon has just monopolized this genre for far too long, which makes it harder for people making this sort of game to imagine something different.
A monster game with designs like the angels in NGE would be really cool. Get weird with the narrative.
