Well Palworld is just a bland survival game that has pokemon in it. The major interesting thing Palworld does is a base/farm simulator where your workers have different specialties and can assign jobs. I highly doubt Pokemon will go that route.

So the only other thing Palworld does is that it doesn't run like dogshit and is concurrent multiplayer. So if we get either of those from Pokemon I guess that's a win?

You think that will happen with GameFreak as developers? lol

It might be bland, but the fact it's been marketed as "holy shit, it's like Pokémon if Game Freak gave a shit" says it all about the Pokémon franchise.

FWIW, I doubt they'll change a thing. People will buy anything with a Pokémon cover, and Game Freak know this...
