I liked it so much I did buy the GBA version and played it for months alongside Pokémon. I will also admit that the knockoffs were interesting though. There were ones with Ninja’s that you would raise and then if there were two devices you could link both devices together to then do battle, Animals that would play with each other across the linked devices like Dogs or Cats, and even more odd was the Wrestling one back in the day.

It can not be overstated how many casual audiences liked that sort of thing. It was inexpensive and just a good time to be had for all ages.
