As others have already mentioned here, I agree that it’s great to have Voidcritters as part of a franchise within the Sims Universe.
I grew up in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Transformers era, so I’m a bit older than the Pokémon generation, but I get the enthusiasm.
At the moment however I don’t think there’s enough in game to make it really special outside of the Critter stations, because kids don’t really seem to care about collecting and playing them or not. Other life stages being able to trade cards and play with the kids would be great. But there needs to be more conflict between the kids. There should be rows and jealousy over VC’s between them. And they should be able to make peace about it again. Some kids could become obsessed with the VC’s and would want to watch that movie over and over again.
If something like this is incorporated, I wouldn’t mind seeing the VC franchise expanded upon and even have another franchise compete with it, e.g. The Freezer Bunny franchise.
It could go all the way, with a Themepark pack that includes Voidcritter rides etc.
But these sim children would have to care about them first and foremost, otherwise the station just feels like a meaningless gameplay object and the Merch is just another pile of clutter in the kid’s bedroom.
