      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.

        What are you talking about?

        We have tons of pokemon like games, Pal World isn’t one of them

          1. I didn’t say it is “like pokemon”.

          2. 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.

          3. Jesus christ, why so hostile.

            In that case didn’t Starcraft, Candy Crush, LoL, RDR, Overwatch already put them in their place?

              I don’t know what you get out of being so intentionally obtuse about this. It feels like the slowest, most irrelevent attempt to troll I’ve ever seen.

              I am glad other devs are making unique and interesting titles in the monster catching genre, since Pokemon has decidedly been squandering it’s IP.

              Is that specific enough for you, or would you like to find a new way to feign ignorance about the similarities between the two games?

                Sure but I don’t think an Arc clone means anything to Nintendo and I wouldn’t say it’s unique
