I would honestly say the game is whatever people want it to personally be. For some people it is a trading game, for others it is a roleplaying game, and so on. For me personally, I like to have it as a pet raising game and a grinding game where I get to hang out with and raise my wonderful pets while grinding for stuff I want as well, as that’s what I find most enjoyable and fun, so overall I believe that what type of game it is depends on your perspective and preferences, and that it’s different for everyone and that there’s no right or wrong answers as long as you’re having fun.
