These games are a little different but I like the idea of the first 2Anyway tell me what you think on a scale of 1-10. Also tell me some ideas of your own or ways to make my ideas better.
As is the answer always, in everything that Pokémon is, tries to be and tries to put forth, you are never going to see a game that glorifies criminal activity.
Pokemon is button mashing however, it requires less coordination among the buttons nor is it about the timing at which the buttons are pressed. There is a decent chance that if neither of the two mentioned gamers had knowledge of Pokemon's game play and intricacies and they were both set into a match against each other the outcome could go 50/50.
Pokémon is not, by the traditional definition, a "button masher." A button masher, as the name suggests, is a game whose gameplay almost lends itself to the concept of wailing on every gameplay button the controller provides you with if you wish to obtain success. Pokémon Rumble is an excellent example of such a title - you can achieve significant success by moving through the levels and wailing on one or two attack buttons when necessary.
If you were to simply lash out at every button on the DS during normal gameplay in a core title, you would move in choppy and incoherent fashion throughout the overworld while cycling endlessly in and out of menus; in a battle, you would largely do the same while lucking into the occasional attack. That is not success, as defined by Pokémon, to any degree. Conversely, you can simply lash out at the controls in a title like Smash Bros. and there's a reasonable chance you may hit your opponent with enough attacks to make a game out of it.
