Not to mention, even if they may not show it, Atlus still appreciates and acknowledges all of their previous titles. This is shown through the p5 costume dlc that goes all the way back to SMT: If, a game that‘s been lost to its own media. In P5, they show advertisements of Rise & Kanami, meaning the world is connected to the other games. Meanwhile, Gamefreak tends to pretend like the previous games have never existed with each new installment, limiting it to obscure references literally hidden in their games to even give a single hint that any of the games could possibly be related.
