Jade Cocoon is pretty great.
In general there are very little clones of Nintendo game franchises.
That's because after the explosion in popularity has passed what remains are the genre king and Nintendo is very good at cornering the market.
Why are there so little Zelda clones on consoles?
Why are there so little Mario Kart clones on consoles?
Why are there so little Smash Bros clones on consoles?
Why are there so little Super Mario 3D clones on consoles?
and so on.

Because those genres don't sell. Nintendo has the brand popularity that keeps their games selling.
For example, Rayman Legends is a better platformer than New Super Mario Bros. How are the sales though?

I've got some great news for you!You know, I'd be happy with just a Pokemon game on consoles. I wanna catch em all.....in one game.....on my TV.
I never said that those franchises never got clones, what I said is the after the popularity phase has passed there are very little clones (or game inspired by if you wish) released in the market which can be considered exceptions.I think those are bad examples, there are plenty of games heavily "inspired" by all of those.
Just off the top of my head Ittle Dew, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Darksiders, Sonic & Sega Racing, Dreamworks Kartz (and the million other licensed Kart games out there), TMNT Smash-Up, Rivals of Aether, Lucky's Tale, etc etc.
Now whether or not any of those games are as good as their Nintendo counterparts is debatable, but to say that few try to clone them isn't very true.
I think what makes it seem like there aren't many is that for the most part AAA devs have given up on Nintendo clones, these days it's mostly indie devs doing this, which doesn't always make it on everyone's radar.
I don't want to ruin my childhood memories.Have you played it at all recently? I used to think so too until I actually finished the game a few years ago. A perfect example of a game that could have been great if they took the time to fix some glaring issues.
You know what? I think I had more fun with Cyber Sleuth than I did with SM last year.
I hope that the next Digimon game will release on Xbox :/

I respect you.He said pokemon clones. It doesn't count as a clone if it's significantly better than the original, then it's an evolution.
Sounds like you need a PS4 to play some of these, but you're hoping games that MS doesn't care about (namely Japanese developed) come to your system of choice.I don't want to ruin my childhood memories.

I think it's a similar reason as to why there aren't any successful Smash clones. Part of the appeal is the actual characters.

OP I think you missed out
Uhm, there are, open your eyes.
Pokemon with Tales of Series skin.
SMT/Persona is pretty close to that.
Y'all are out of touch. Pokemon IS the clone.
It was predated by Dragon Quest and Megami Tensei. And Digimon has its roots in Tamagotchi, which also predated Pokemon. Cyber Sleuth is a Persona clone, which is a part of Megami Tensei.

Absolutely this. It's such a shame this game is STILL flying under the radar to this day. It was basically Pokémon for a more mature audience.
How can a clone be older than the original?
The answer is that Pokémon is the clone here
Pokemon with Tales of Series skin.
If you really want to be technical, everything monster catching related is a clone of Dragon Quest V.
I love Digimon but it's not really the same + they don't release on Xbox One.
