I feel like game journalists are the ones most guilty for spreading this since anything relating to Pokemon is all it takes to get easy clicks and also partially to blame on non-Japanese gamers that insist on living up to the stereotype that Pokemon fans don't play anything else.
Calling other monster collectors "Pokemon-like" is extremely unfair and shallow to theses games that not only have their own spin on so many things but are far more like monster collectors besides Pokemon to begin with.
Pokemon itself has always been more Dragon Quest-like than anything from its monster designs to several gameplay mechanics.
Probably the only thing Pokemon has that makes it unique as a monster collector are Contests and PokeAthlon, but both of those are gone now.
What do you guys think?

- Digimon has more in common with Shin Megami Tensei conceptually than it does with Pokemon.
- Yo-Kai Watch has more in common with Shin Megami Tensei and Dragon Quest Monsters than it does with Pokemon.
- Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch can easily be argued as being more like Dragon Quest 5 but with real time gameplay than being comparable to Pokemon.
- Disc Creatures is also far more like Dragon Quest Monsters than Pokemon.
- World of Final Fantasy is a Final Fantasy game but with monster collecing than being comparable to Pokemon.
