    Palworld is set to officially release at the start of next year. It’s clearly very Pokémon inspired, but looks much more impressive than any existing Pokémon game. I wonder if Palworld will help shake the Pokémon Company into upping their game.

      creatures with machineguns

      If I wanted that I’d just play Digimon. Not that the idea is bad, it just… feels to me more like an attempt at a replacement for Digimon than for Pokémon. Equipping everyone with machineguns and joining in into the slaughter feels like it absurdily misses the point of Pokémon for me.

      (That said, I’m not con adapting some of the Palcreatures minus machineguns as fakémon if I find out I do like them)

      Kindred Fates looks more interesting.

      For most people the Pokémon IP is a much bigger draw than a potentially better game though. Game Freak are in a position where due to the Pokémon IP they can release a game riddled with issues and still sell well.
