[Mr.Lucifer]

Pokemon. one of the best game series of all time and the most complex battle system of any rpg game.

I also kingdom hearts. Yes i do think a crossover between disney character and final fantasy character are cool.

Err, Pokemon's battle system is complex? It's just rock-paper-scissors.

Its more than that. You just don't depend on type but also their stats,their movepool,abilities,personalities, and their place in the team. Jesus, you'd be surprised how hard it is to build a good team.

Dude, I've been playing Pokemon since 1998. I'm pretty sure I know how it works. Little fanboy pages aside, Pokemon is RPG-lite. It's not bad because of it; I love Pokemon. But Pokemon's battle system is one of the least complex I've ever come across.

Have you ever been in the competitions? I'm serious, the games are fucking easy, but the metagame is a ***** to play in. I know what I'm talking about,. In the metagame, you can just pick you favorite pokemon, you have to raise them to level L100, make sure they have a good movepool, make sure they have good stats to back up those moves, etc.

I'm not kidding, even having a good pokemon hardly matters.

I admit I have not spent one second in any competitive Pokemon tournament. Maybe I'm just missing some super cool aspect of the Pokemon community?

Other JRPGs sometimes include optional bosses that can instant kill an entire party of characters at max level and stats if you don't have the right equipment, party positioning, moves learnt/taught, items, etc. Tiny adjustments to any of the characters can be the difference between winning and losing the battle. A lot of the bosses also change up their moves after dropping below a certain amount of HP, requiring a change in tactics mid-battle. Hence, the argument can be made that if other JRPGs allowed for players to battle one another, their metagame's would be just as deep and complex.
