As a Nintendo fan, I'm ecstatic to see someone putting Pokemon in it's place. They've squandered the franchise, and it's about time for some comeuppance.
Precisely, the rabid fans are getting on Palworld's case for making what they call low effort garbage as if Pokémon games haven't been exactly that since Sword and Shield, maybe even before.
"bUt At ThE eNd Of ThE dAy It'S fUn"
just throw all their stupid arguments right back at them.
No the games aren't similar at all. but as it stands Palworld has definitely tapped into the same market as Pokémon and hopefully its success is enough of a wake-up call for them to get their shit together and deliver a game worthy of the world's most valuable IP. Instead of 3DS games guising as Switch games.
It's a great example of the things Pokemon COULD be doing with side games and spinoffs in their universe, if they weren't cowards who insist on taking a step back for every time they take a step forward.
