Farmagia's approach to collecting monsters feels like a natural evolution of what players saw from the Horde Battles in Pokemon. Of course, Farmagia's gameplay formula and battles are going to be quite different from Pokemon's, which has already been made clear by the reveal trailer. Rather, the game's take on gathering and raising monsters is going in its own direction. Despite that, some parallels can be seen between it and the Horde Battles that debuted in Pokemon X and Y. In that sense, Farmagia could take something that looks familiar and make it into a battle format entirely its own.
